Carnival Cruise Line has added a new complimentary restaurant on one of their cruise ships.
The totally transformed Carnival Sunrise is the first in Carnival Cruise Line’s fleet to feature the new casual and authentic Asian venue Lucky Bowl. Located within the ship’s Lido Marketplace, the free-of-charge restaurant is part of its extensive $200 million renovation that added a variety of the cruise line’s popular food, beverage and entertainment innovations.
The new concept replaced the former Asian Mongolian wok station, expanding the offerings to include dishes from China, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, and other Far East cuisines.
Lucky Bowl features a daily rotating menu of three bowl options with noodles (rice, cellophane, angel hair, chow mein, mung bean, lo mein) or rice, protein (chicken, beef, pork, seafood, egg) and/or vegetables, as well as other unique ingredients.
Sample menu items include:
- Pho – rice noodles, wakame, bok choy, bean sprouts, green peas;
- Pork Stew Shanghai Style – cellophane noodles, sugar snap peas, mushroom, carrots, spinach;
- Hainanese Chicken – jasmine rice, cucumber, miso sauce, crispy fried corn, kimchi;
- Mussels & Clams – chow mein noodles, celery, mushroom, cucumber, shrimp stock.

Guests order at an outlet located mid-ship and adorned with Asian-inspired décor, black and white patterned and red accent panels and a display with the three menu options for the day.
In addition to Lucky Bowl, Carnival Sunrise also features new offerings such as Guy’s Burger Joint and Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse, in collaboration with Food Network star and longtime partner Guy Fieri; The Chef’s Table fine dining experience; the Cucina del Capitano family-style Italian restaurant; and the classic American steakhouse Fahrenheit 555.
The food on the Buffet always has sour cream or guacamole dizzled on it stop putting that on everything that should be an option
Restaurant? Hardly. It’s a window in the buffet walkway. What decor? The food wasn’t anything special but very spicy.
A shame. I was one of many who stood in line for the spicy noodles at the wok station.
Nothing on the sample menu sounds as good as the old Mongolian Wok. This will be faster and cheaper since the bowl ingredients all can be made in advance and just ladled into a bowel.
