Creator's Key Takeaways

Express Dining is a concept that where guests who have booked Your Time Dining and are in a group of six guests or fewer can select the Express Dining option

The menus for Express Dining have similar foods to the the regular menu. However, it is a little more scaled down

My family and I haven't tried the Express option, but through our different cruises over the past couple of years have taken pictures and eaten some of the items offered on the Express menu

If you have any dietary issues, questions, or needs, make sure you speak with Carnival and the crew on board

YouTube Video Description

See the new Express Dining dinner menus for Carnival Cruise ships from my recent 5 day Carnival Breeze cruise in March 2026. In this video I share screenshots of the express dining menus along with food photos of some dishes from my other recent cruises. The new express dining option is available to guests with Your Time Dining and parties of 6 guests or less. As of the time of publication, 15 ships have the new dining concept and it is planned to be fleetwide by end of May 2026. Menus, food availability, ingredients, and presentation are subject to change. Also, if you have any food allergies or dietary questions/concerns make sure you consult with Carnival. Ships with the dining concept as March 2026: Carnival Jubilee, Carnival Celebration, Mardi Gras, Carnival Venezia, Carnival Firenze, Carnival Panorama, Carnival Horizon, Carnival Sunrise, Carnival Vista, Carnival Breeze, Carnival Radiance, Carnival Conquest, Carnival Dream, Carnival Glory, and Carnival Freedom
