Dining Room Menus

[artvlay]

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

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.

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.

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.

Quite right.  A simple google search brought up a lot of info.  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.

has the new menus hit Venezia yet?  I was told they were eventually but they would still have a more Italian theme..

There are menus here:

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.
