***CARNIVAL HAS UPDATED THE DIAMOND LUNCH MENU SINCE THIS POST. SEE THE NEW MENU HERE***

On my last cruise (on NCL), I was chatting with someone who was not a fan of Carnival and found myself defending the line much like I would have a delinquent younger sibling: I hear you, she’s a little scrappy, but there’s so much I love about her and I’ve literally only seen her involved in one brawl. Ha! Just kidding (I’ve actually seen her involved in three brawls, but I’ve been on a lot of Carnival cruises, so that only represents like 10% of my total sailings).

In any case, despite recent cuts and a bit of a “reputation,” not everyone has given up on Carnival (including me – although I always encourage people to try out different lines to compare and find the best cruising fit) and some have even remained so loyal as to unlock diamond status in the line’s VIFP Club (loyalty program). And one of the most popular diamond level perks is a special invitation from the Captain to the Diamond Lunch. I had someone contact me yesterday about the current Diamond Lunch menu, so I thought I’d post it for anyone else who may be looking. The menus gets switched up from time to time, but this should give you a good idea of what to expect if you’ve just leveled up (congratulations!):

Carnival’s *FORMER* Diamond Lunch Menu (no longer in use as of January 2023 – see above for the current menu)

It’s a small menu and you’ve earned it, so…order one of everything! And for those of you still poo-poo’ing Carnival (note that I’ve only seen someone poop in a potted plant on Carnival ONE TIME…kidding, kidding), well, your loss. And with that…

Class Dismissed!
