Hi Cruisers! Please be advised:
Food is part of the fun on a Carnival cruise, and we have no intention of changing that. However, we have reached a point with our food costs where we must take some modest but specific actions. The following changes will take effect immediately on sailings departing as of November 7, 2022:
Specialty Dining:
* Steakhouse prices across the fleet will increase to US$48, per person (from current US$42, per person). Steakhouse price adjustments are not applicable to Australia sailings.
* Per person prices at specialty dining restaurants on specific ships, i.e., Rudi’s Seagrill and Bonsai Teppanyaki, will also increase.
Things to know:
* For sailings departing through December 31, 2022 – Specialty dining reservations paid in advance of the sailing will be charged the current price. Reservations made on board will be subject to the new prices.
* For sailings January 1, 2023 and onward – Specialty dining reservations already paid as of today’s date will be honored at the current rate.
Main Dining:
* We will continue to offer lobster on itineraries of six days or more, but it will be moving to the second elegant evening (currently on the first elegant evening).
Food Waste Initiatives:
Across our fleet, including sailings from Australia, we will be implementing initiatives to help minimize food waste, which include the following:
* Complimentary self-serve ice cream and frozen yogurt will be available from 11 am to 12 midnight (instead of 24/7).
* Guests may continue to order a second complementary entrée if they choose; however, effective immediately, a third entrée will incur a US$5 charge (AU$7).
