Omelet Cooking In The Lido Buffet On each of my Carnival Cruises I will frequently eat at the omelet station. This post will share my tips for navigating the omelet station on a Carnival Cruise vacation.
1. Line Gets Long, But Moves Quick
In the mornings the line for the omelet station may look long, but the line generally moves quick. The crew members working the omelet station have the ability to cook several omelets at once. Generally, the first cruisers to visit the omelet station for the day have a slightly longer wait because the crew members are still finalizing setup and there are quite a few guests ready to eat an omelet at the start of breakfast. On my recent Carnival Breeze cruises, the omelet station crew members were making three omelets at a time. When one finished cooking, the crew member asked the next person in line what he or she wanted and then that omelet started cooking. The crew members do a great job getting the line to move fast. This staggered process greatly reduces the wait time.

2. The Omelet Station Also Serves Egg Whites
Although I have never eaten egg whites from the omelet station, I have seen several guests ask the crew member for egg whites from the omelet station. This menu option is generally not advertised heavily, but it is available for guests. The egg whites are cooked using the same skillets as the omelets.
3. Omelet Choices Are Standardized In The Buffet
As of early December 2023, Carnival announced the omelets available in the Lido buffet will be from a pre-determined menu. Guests can choose Plain Omelet, Cheese Omelet, Ham & Cheese Omelet, Vegetarian Omelet, and an Egg White Omelet. The ability to get a customized omelet is also not readily available at brunch or on the port of call day breakfast menu as Carnival has switched to a more standardized menu.
4. Can you customize your omelet in the buffet?
Now that Carnival has a standardized omelet menu getting customizations is not going to be as easy. If you are lucky you might get a crew member willing to do a customization, but it may not be allowed.
4. Omelets Are Available In Other Places Besides The Buffet
The omelet stations in the Lido Buffet are not the only places you can get an omelet during your Carnival Cruise vacation. The Sea Day Brunch and Main Dining Room Port of Call menu have omelet options available. The hours for the main dining room will typically vary slightly from the buffet's hours. You can check your daily Fun-Times activity newsletter or Carnival Hub App for the dining room's hours and the dining room that breakfast will be served in.
Omelets are one of the many foods I enjoy while cruising. I do not typically eat omelets at home and look forward to having my daily omelet on my cruise.
