See the Carnival Cruise new main dining room menus for 6 day cruises with food pictures! There are two elegant nights (formal nights) on Carnival's 6 night cruises and the second elegant night is the only one with complimentary lobster tails. The other nights are considered cruise casual where the dress code is a little more relaxed. As of June 2025, these menus are still being served on Carnival Cruise Line ships sailing 6 day cruises.
