Carnival Cruise Line celebrates Christmas Day with a special dining room dinner menu. Each ship's main dining room will be serving a special Christmas Day dinner menu that offers some of the typical Carnival classic dishes, but also has several special options for the holiday. Carnival's Brand Ambassador, John Heald, posted a copy of the menu to Facebook. As the image was grainy I typed the main items on the menu to share on here.
Carnival ships also have gluten free and vegan menus available when viewing the Carnival Hub App, but John Heald did not post these menus. Guests with dietary needs or questions should ask onboard.
