Carnival Speeds Up Dinner Service with New Express Option

Express Dining

Carnival Cruise Line has introduced a new dining option for its guests called “Express Dining.”

Available nightly, the option offers a multi-course dinner experience in under an hour for groups of six guests or fewer, featuring a slightly abbreviated selection of the main dining room offering, the company said in a statement.

“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 Carnival President Christine Duffy.

“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.”

The program is now available on 15 ships and Carnival said in a statement that it expects it to be fully implemented across the fleet by the end of May.

The ships on which it is available are the 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.
