Carnival Cruise Line is in the middle of rolling out new dinner menus in the main dining room on its fleet of 29 cruise ships.
Carnival Cruise Line’s Brand Ambassador said in a Facebook post that the new dinner menus have been “brilliantly received and tremendously enjoyed” by Carnival cruisers. The menus are still in the middle of rolling out across the fleet and are not yet on every ship.
The following Carnival cruise ships are currently offering the new main dining room dinner menu:
- Carnival Magic
- Mardi Gras
- Carnival Panorama

- Carnival Liberty
- Carnival Jubilee
- Carnival Pride
- Carnival Spirit
- Carnival Vista
- Carnival Miracle
- Carnival Celebration
- Carnival Venezia
- Carnival Dream
- Carnival Conquest
- Carnival Glory
- Carnival Sunrise
- Carnival Breeze
Carnival has dates set for six more ships to receive the new dinner menu. They are as follows:
- October 17, 2026 – Carnival Elation
- October 17, 2026 – Carnival Valor
- October 18, 2026 – Carnival Horizon
- November 5, 2026 – Carnival Paradise

What about the remaining six Carnival cruise ships? Heald stated that Carnival Radiance and Carnival Firenze are currently TBA to receive the new menus.
Carnival Cruise Line also has four ships sailing in Australia (Carnival Splendor, Carnival Luminosa, Carnival Adventure, and Carnival Encounter). Heald said he would share updates on these three ships as soon as he’s able to.
A few months ago, John Heald posted a few photos of this new dinner menu that can be seen below.
