Carnival Breeze....lunch in Cucina restaurant

[susan bt]

We are sailing on the 6 day. Is the Italian restaurant open for lunch on the first day? What other days is it open?
Has anyone posted the 6 day Fun Times?

On Magic it is open every day for lunch, including embarkation. I assume it is the same for Breeze.

Yes it is open on embarkation day. It is open everyday for lunch. We ate at Cucina del Capitano on the Breeze almost everyday for lunch. It is really good!

It is very good. At lunch, they give you a table number on a little stand to place on your table, and each person receives a card with the menu selections for each category of ingredient for your dish. You choose what you want from each section, then take the card to the person by the grill area. They prepare it as your order is given---very fresh!

I chose bowtie pasta, pomodoro sauce (tasted freshly made!), grilled chicken breast strips, onion, and baby tomatoes. It was all tossed together in a large bowl. I also had the bread which was soft and warm. My sister also had the Caesar salad.

At first glance, you may not think you are served very much---your meal in one bowl. But trust me, that ends up being quite filling indeed! We loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Our only "irritant" was that there was apparently a basketball tournament scheduled during lunch and guess what. The basketball court is directly over Cucina!! It sounded like they were going to come crashing through our ceiling! Other than that, we enjoyed Cucina for lunch very much.

Lunch at Cucina is wonderful, but dinner is extraordinary! For a $12.00 surcharge you get a fabulous 3 course meal complete with singing waiters. So go to lunch there all you want, but try at least one dinner there too!
