artvlay Posted December 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2023 We are going on 9 Day Venezia in two weeks. We are planning on making reservations for Steakhouse and wanted to do it on a night that isn't a formal night or a night that doesn't have a good menu. We cruise often on Royal and know their menus and formal night schedules but haven't been on Carnival for a few years so are looking for advice. I don't know if we can book onboard and maybe to ask the dining room staff for guidance. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksmcdonald Posted December 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Usually elegant night in the main dining room is 2nd sea day and then again next to the last sea day. It was this way on our last 11 day Venezia cruise. Not sure if this is always the case. To be safe, we just book specialty dining for port days, that way we were for sure not going to miss elegant.

groundloop Posted December 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Once on board you'll be able to pull up the menu for each night on the Carnival Hub app on your phone. After looking that over you can book the Steakhouse directly from the Hub app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinRon3 Posted December 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Just to be clear, then there is no way to see MDR menus 'before' one's cruise [much less specialty dining]? If so, we're a little disappointed as we can readily find these on Royal and Celebrity weeks before a cruise. Makes planning a bit easier to know when Lobster is served for instance [in MDR]...and other things. Oh well. We'll just have to learn Carnival again we guess.

Carnival's food is the same fleetwide for the most part. If you google Carnival menus you'll find them. Lobster will be served on the second elegant night, when the second elegant night is depends on the length of your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually come to cruise critic first if any questions and commented in haste. I'd post a link but not sure if CC likes that, but menus are easily available. Thanks.

dlphn501 Posted December 31, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 31, 2023 There are menus here: https://profcruise.com/carnivals-new-dinner-menus/ Not sure how the menu rotates for sailings longer than 8 days though. Maybe look through the boards for 9 day sailings to find out when the 2nd formal night is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
