Omg I hadn’t planned on eating in dining room every night but everything looks so good I just might be! Looking fwd to part two! 😊

Dang, I love the chocolate melting cake! Got to be a favorite.

Great video, Great to see you all at it again. You both make dining seem fun.

Nice to know piracy is alive and well on the high seas. $3.50 for a teabag is ridiculous!

David, your “guide” to reading the menu is helpful to those unfamiliar 👍🏻

Joanna, I know I’ve told you before, but your facial expressions are adorable. Perhaps consider a short video of facial expressions only, with no commentary.

Keep up the great work. By far you are the best cruise food creators out there.

Lamb and lasagna looked good. Always happy to see your videos.

I’m really intrigued by the lasagna bolognese. The color was exquisite, and Joann’s review got me excited about it. The crawfish phyllo dish looked wonderful too. I’m getting much closer to booking a sailing with Carnival now. Seems like for so long all you saw was the fights and brawls on Carnival. All in all, the fare looks pretty standard, but not at all boring. I like that. The presentation is great too!

A perfect bite of crawfish in pastry...YUM! now I have to find a recipe for this.

[Jilltoons]

Enjoyed this video immensely. Going on the Firenze in a few weeks. The lamb pasta looked amazing, I would like to try the soups, that short rib looked so tender and the sauce very rich. The chocolate melting cake was too runny the night you had it. I love that dessert. I would like to try that other chocolate dessert too. Looking forward to part 2.

Will try some of these I going on cruise in September

[neek]

I always enjoy your videos. And your earrings at dinner 2 are really pretty 👍

Another great video. Personally, I have always thought that the food AND the service in Carnival MDRs is very underrated and teh food looks so much better than my RCL and NCL experiences. With the inclusion of the Emeril Classics, I think that there will be at least a couple of nights where i will be tempted to dig into my pocket to pay for a third entree.

Is the Carnival menu system wide or is this the "Carnival Cruising Italian Style" on the old Costa ships? This video is really making me look forward to the April 2025 cruise we have booked on the Carnival Magic.

I would generally NEVER order lasagna but that was the best lasagna that I have seen. Also the lamb looked really great. We have not cruised since January due to DW's health BUT we will cruise for 30 days in September.

Love the dining room, Venice !

Chicken Alfredo linguine is a starter? Hehe

[katecarman]

I'm honestly a little surprised at the dining room situations - I feel like on the Carnival Venezia the dining rooms are backwards. The your time dinning is in the prettier dining room, which confuses me tbh but both look way better than most Carnival ships in my opinion. Probably my new favorite ship despite the weird dinning arrangements.
Personally not a fan of your time dining but I also did that when it first came out so maybe it was a disaster just because it was new?? We waited like 2 hrs for a table after checking in at opening and then were moved around a ton (during meals) due to shifting amounts of people. I am just really hesitant to do that again...

Thank you for posting though - super details and clear images and video of all that was shown. Very helpful for those looking into the ship for research or preparation of a cruise. :)

Awesome video. TY for sharing. 4 whole shrimp with the shrimp cocktail? Carnival is being very generous, aren't they?

[soulprovider]

This will be my first time on carnival coming up in just a few weeks. I’m scheduled for the late dinner, and I’m assuming that would be in the buffet dining room? Also, could I not show up one night for the late dinner and just make a reservation to come down to the main dining room to eat? It looks like this main dining room has a much better selection of food than the buffet.

[remirezk]

there is nothing average about the most awesome dessert in the world aka cheesecake hehehe

[tazwin]

Is it free to eat in main dining room? (Breakfast, Lunch and dinner)
Can you pls explain?

[mariapepper]

This is a wonderful video. Thank you! As a pescatarian, I do not like the choices. Plus, i didn't think the food looked too appetizing. The melting chocolate cake looks like raw cake batter.
