amy2313 Posted January 19, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks so much. Is it a pasta bar each day for lunch?? Same menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GROUCHPUSS Posted January 19, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks so much. Is it a pasta bar each day for lunch?? Same menu? It is not even close to the same menu. I don't think I would call it a pasta bar, because the food is made to order, it is not buffet style during lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isaiahsnana Posted January 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 19, 2015 At lunch, they give you a paper check list with all the sauces and ingredients listed and you check what you want included in your pasta dish - i.e. mushrooms, green onions, shrimp in linguini with alfedo! and they serve breads to go with it.

pauleydm Posted January 19, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 19, 2015 We ate there twice on the Sunshine. It is phenomenal. I highly recommend the risotto balls, the chicken parmesan with a side of pasta and the tiramisu. Just arrive hungry because the portions are large. Also, JiJi's is incredible too. We ate there twice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelate Posted January 19, 2015 #15 Share Posted January 19, 2015 does the 15.00 for dinner include tip? The cover charge includes the gratuity at specialty restaurants on Carnival. However, many waiters will try to ignore the question as the receipt has a line for a gratuity. As most guests are unsuspecting with little to no research with an American tipping culture, it is a way for the waitstaff to take advantage of an opportunity to earn more money.

cappy09 Posted January 20, 2015 #17 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) On the first night do they serve you free wine like they do in the Steakhouse ? Will be on the Sunshine Edited January 20, 2015 by cappy09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted January 21, 2015 #18 Share Posted January 21, 2015 On the first night do they serve you free wine like they do in the Steakhouse ? Will be on the Sunshine No, the cover is 15 per person, not 35 per person at the steakhouse. The 70 dollar tab enables Carnival to throw in a cheap bottle of wine, it would not be economically feasible with a 30 dollar tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 70 dollar tab enables Carnival to throw in a cheap bottle of wine, it would not be economically feasible with a 30 dollar tab When you think about it, they really can. How many bottles of wine and champagne do they give away throughout the cruise and as gifts from the brand ambassador? Carnival is purchasing them in bulk at no more than $2 per bottle. They don't exactly give the highest quality gratis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they give a free bottle every night now? Just asking, because we're thinking about trying the Steakhouse during our next cruise. Cucina too since we'll be on the Sunshine.

Pixelate Posted January 21, 2015 #22 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Steakhouse is $35.00 pp every night. Free bottle of cheap wine first night only. This is an untruth. The free bottle is extended to guests on the first and second night of the cruise. With that said, it has also been determined that this promotion is not guaranteed to be available on every sailing, depending upon the Steakhouse Manager.

Probably won't make it the first night anyway. The plan is for the middle of the cruise for us. Free bottle is irrelevant. Hubby likes Red, I prefer Reisling. They can keep the bottle unless they want to give us two.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelate Posted January 21, 2015 #25 Share Posted January 21, 2015 It has never been offered on the second night on any of my past cruises. As a convenience, from the brand ambassador himself: "Our Steakhouses continue to grow in popularity and we are serving more guests there than ever before. As you know we serve a complimentary bottle of wine per cabin on the first night and now we extend the same to the first elegant night as well. This also now applies to the Cuccina del Capitano restaurants where on the first and second night we will also serve complimentary wine with dinner."
