Carnival Cruise Line will feature a special main dining room dinner menu on the night of Christmas (December 25, 2022). This Christmas Day menu is divided into appetizers, main courses, & desserts and features a variety of Carnival Cruise favorites as well as special dishes for Christmas evening. The same menu should be served whether guests are eating in the main dining room for early seating, late seating, or Your-Time Dining. However, it is not clear if the buffet will feature any of the same dishes.
Carnival's 2022 Christmas main dining room was posted by John Heald, Carnival's brand ambassador, on Facebook. Please keep in mind this menu is subject to change! If you are cruising during Christmas make sure to look at the Carnival Hub App or scan the QR code in the dining room to view the Christmas menu being served during your cruise. I have posted the menu as posted by John Heald below. Enjoy!
