Carnival Cruise Line is revamping the menus for several of its specialty dining venues and reintroducing Baked Alaska across its fleet of ships.
The menus for Carnival's steakhouses, family-style Italian restaurants, delis and main dining room breakfast offerings have all undergone a transformation.
Starting with the steakhouse menus on three carnival ships, an updated array of appetizers will complement a selection of USDA prime steaks, chicken meals and more. Four additional ships are expected to get the new menus by early next year.
The new Cucina del Capitano Italian restaurants menus are currently on three ships, the Carnival Magic, Carnival Vista and Carnival Breeze, and the updated food selections are expected to be available on the Carnival Sunshine next month.
As for the main dining room breakfast offerings, an assortment of traditional breakfast favorites will complement a series of healthy alternatives on 12 ships in the Carnival fleet, with the remaining vessels expected to receive the new menus by mid-2018.
For passengers looking to enjoy the onboard delis, the menus feature an updated design and a host of new choices, including seven sandwiches such as meatball, buffalo chicken, and The Cubano. Carnival is also re-branding its 24-hour pizzerias to Pizzeria del Capitano, which offer five kinds of hand-tossed, thin-crusted pies.
The re-branded delis and pizzerias will be incorporated into additional vessels during scheduled dry docks. Seafood Shacks will also be added to nine ships in the coming months after its successful debut on the Carnival Vista last year.
Finally, passengers on all Carnival ships will be treated to Baked Alaska, a classic dessert made of cake and ice cream topped with meringue. The tradition of parading the confection throughout the dining room prior to service is also back after a several year hiatus.
