It is not on the Excel class of ships.

Flying in from Kansas City.

So am I!!

Sailing in March. I wish they would have toast on this menu.

My bad. For some reason I read would.

How would it be a revenue producer? It's included dining.

https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2927801-carnival’s-next-class-of-ship/#comment-65120215 I figured this was going to happen. But it’s even earlier than I thought.

I'm also going to be taking my first non-Carnival cruise in March on the NCL Breakaway. The pricing with free at sea was just too good to pass up.

Looks like I might have been correct. https://www.cruisehive.com/are-huge-new-carnival-owned-cruise-ships-coming/120990

Yea I’ll bet those tix demanded quite a premium price. If you ever get the chance to come down to Lawrence and attend a game at Allen Fieldhouse you will not be disappointed. Enjoying the review. Looking forward to my first NCL experience in March.

Thank you for the information. I hope the ‘research’ wasn’t too taxing lol. A bit off topic but I did enjoy watching my Jayhawks beat the Hoosiers the other day 😜.

I’ll be sailing on the breakaway in March. Random food question. Do they have beans in the chili that they but on the nachos or the coney? thanks

Looking at the specialty dinning pricing for my upcoming sailing on the Horizon Nov. 5th. It appears that the prices have increased again on specialty dinning. JiJi's is now $24 up from $18. Bonsai Teppanyaki dinner $42 up from $38. Glad I had already purchased at the cheaper price.

Yep. My first cruise was when I was 18. Spent a couple nights out on deck sleeping. It was awesome.

I don’t think I completely agree about spending on new builds. The other lines are under similar pressures from debt. (Granted Carnival is a little deeper) and have invested in new builds. I think they could announce a new build for Carnival before the end of 2025. I also think the XL class was definitely a move to offer something closer to the Oasis class. Much larger capacity than any previous Carnival ship, zones (neighborhoods). I also agree they are not trying to directly match but rather have a competitive product to what other lines like Royal are offering.
