Carnival Cruise Line VIFP Club Diamond guests receive a special event invitation from the ship's captain each cruise. Most of the time this special event will take place as a lunch that is for Diamond VIFP club members. Diamond guests have sailed 200+ days with Carnival and are at the highest tier of Carnival's VIFP loyalty program.
According to John Heald, the lunch menu has been the same for a long time, but that is now changing. A brand new Diamond Lunch menu has been introduced and there are plans to update the menu quarterly. Below are the food options on the VIFP Diamond Lunch Menu as released by John Heald in March 2025.
