Carnival Cruise Line Unveils Express Dining

Carnival Cruise Line is rolling out a new dining option to give guests more time to enjoy onboard entertainment.

Carnival’s new Express Dining option promises to deliver a main dining room meal in under one hour, allowing guests more flexibility. The pilot program offers a fresh multi-course dinner and is available for parties of six guests or fewer.

The streamlined dinner service maintains a thoughtfully curated menu, with an abbreviated selection of dishes. Special dietary requests can be accommodated. Guests who booked under Your Time Dining can opt for Express Dining through Carnival’s HUB App.

Express Dining is currently available on 15 ships: Carnival Jubilee, Carnival Celebration, Mardi Gras, Carnival Venezia, Carnival Firenze, Carnival Panorama, Carnival Horizon, Carnival Sunrise, Carnival Vista, Carnival Breeze, Carnival Radiance, Carnival Conquest, Carnival Dream, Carnival Glory, and Carnival Freedom. The program will be rolled out across the rest of the fleet by the end of May.

According to Carnival, the pilot program was introduced as part of the cruise line’s larger focus on increased flexibility, such as the recent Family Express service that was implemented on the Lido Deck fleetwide.

“Our guests continue to tell us they value greater flexibility in how they spend their time on board, and Express Dining was designed with that in mind,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Our pilot program generated positive feedback from our guests. With this in mind, we are excited to expand Express Dining to offer them the same high-quality dishes and attentive service our dining rooms are known for, while giving guests the ability to use more of their time to enjoy all the other onboard fun.”
