Carnival Cruise Line announced the new main dining rooms will be soon expanding to more Carnival ships. Carnival completed an initial pilot implementation of the new main dining rooms on the Carnival Dream in June 2023 and after evaluating the guest feedback has decided to start rolling out the menus to more ships.
The New Menus
The new menus contain a variety of new or improved dishes curated by Carnival's Chief Culinary Officer, Emeril Lagasse. Carnival's press release mentioned 60 new dishes are being introduced to mix into the dining room menus. If you wish to see a sample of the menus offered on the Carnival Dream's 8 night cruise pilot cruise click here for my post. Menus on cruises on other lengths of cruises will vary and it will be interesting to see what options are available to guests on cruises shorter than 8 nights.
