gabbygal99 Posted February 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2023 The last time I sailed on Carnival was in 2013. I absolutely *loved* their cold soups that were served in the MDR. I have sailed on multiple other cruise lines since then, and have never seen cold soup on the menus. We are finally returning to Carnival, sailing in July 2023 on Pride, 12-night Northern Europe. I have seen sample menus posted in these forums, and know the soups are still being served. Is it possible to know the menus for our specific sailing in advance (so that I do not make Steakhouse reservations on a night I could have the soup)? Thanks!

mz-s Posted February 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2023 When you are actually onboard and connected to the ship's wifi, you should be able to see MDR menus for every night. Menus for longer cruises like yours do not follow a pattern so even if you found menus for last year's Northern Europe cruises they wouldn't necessarily be the same this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keywest1 Posted February 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Love the cold soups as well! Mango and strawberry are tied for my favorite. I did see cold soups on RCCL buffet probably 5 years ago. I wish Carnival served on buffet as well. Probably too many like me who would steal a water pitcher and fill it with the soup 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PrincessArlena'sDad Posted February 7, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2023 We told the kids that if they ordered the cold soups, that would be their desserts for the day. They ordered the soups anyway. * We weren't serious, just curious if they loved the soups that much. Apparently, they do. I think they enjoyed the bitter and blanc afterwards that night, so they still had room left! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kid loves it too....he doesn't eat soup on the regular but considers their cold soup "smoothies" lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrestler171 Posted February 7, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I know the first night is Strawberry Bisque. Not sure on the other ones as I am not a fan of the peach and mango. Didn't see cherry, but I did use to love that one as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckF Posted February 7, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Love them all. Had cherry on our Journey's cruise back in October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted February 7, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I wish they'd cut the crap and just pour the "soup" into the Swirls machines on Lido...we all know it's just soft serve mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find the Carnival recipe online it's not just melted soft serve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPTexas Posted February 8, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 8, 2023 We love the cold soups in the MDR and depending on the flavor, sometimes we have it as an appetizer and then for dessert. My favorite was the lychee cold soup but have only seen it once on the menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the watermelon soup on my last cruise. It was clear - I don't think there was any dairy in it at all.

But NCL, Costa, Albatross, and Princess don’t have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely say that it’s just melted ice cream/sorbet - I don’t know what’s it’s actually made of, I just know I love it! 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m such a dork - I’m more excited about the soup than any of the ports we are going to! Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayGirl Posted February 9, 2023 #15 Share Posted February 9, 2023 My husband loves them. Strawberry is the first night. We usually see peach on the last night of a 7 day. Mango is somewhere in the middle. Bing cherry shows up on 8+ day cruises. Our last 8 day this year had it show up on the menu they stuck in the middle of the week that isnt on the usual 7 day menu schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctorsbaby Posted February 10, 2023 #16 Share Posted February 10, 2023 My daughter has plans to take her bestie to the dining room just for the Strawberry Bisque the first night as we have reservations in the Italian place for actual dinner. She worked out times and all to make sure she would have time 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
