What are specialty restaurants on carnival?

[mnk2005]

I was wondering what the "Specialty" restaurants are because from what I hear they are not included in the total price of the cruise. What is included? Is it: coffee, tea, juice, water, and just the dining room? Help!

They are only on the newer and larger Carnival ships(Conquest and Spirit class). Fascination does not have a Supper Club. Its an upscale dining experience, $30 per person and the menu is expanded. Unlike the regular dining room you cant order as much as you want.

 

This was on the carnival website, but since they changed the price, it was removed. It goes more into detail about the Supper Club.

 

 

The Supper Club is an intimate restaurant that accepts reservations for when the guest chooses to dine for dinner between the hours of 6:00pm-9:30pm. Reservations are made by telephone from the guest's stateroom. This is an alternative to eating in the Dining Room or the Lido Restaurant. The Supper Club features prime steaks.

 

The reservation fee is $25 per guest, per entree. This fee includes the wait staffs' gratuity; additional gratuities are optional and may be extended in cash or to the guest's Sail & Sign Account, at the guest's discretion. The reservation fee does not include any beverage that is normally ordered through the bar service such as wine, liquor, soda and bottled water. There is nightly entertainment during dinner such as a cabaret singer or duet along with a large dance floor. There is also a cooking display area where guests can watch the chefs prepare their culinary masterpieces.

As the other post said, the Fascination doesn't have a speciality resaurtant.

You will get coffee, iced tea, water, lemonade free in the dining room as well as on the Lido deck throughout the day. You should have no cost as far as food on the ship. Drinks are another story - pop, beer, wine, alcholic drinks all cost and will be charged to your sign and sail card.

The fee is now $30 pp and does not include a tip. I went twice aboard my Glory cruise and the food and service were very good.

On the facination the only extra charge for food will be at the cafe./ which is Called Bogeys. That should be the only place that will charge you for cakes, coffees or icecream/milkshakes.
