Carnival Tests New Casual Dining Pop-Ups on Select Ships
Bagels, chicken and waffles join a series of onboard food-and-beverage trials across Carnival Cruise Line’s fleet.
Carnival Cruise Line is testing two casual dining concepts, Bagels @ Sea and Chicken, Waffles & Waves, on select ships. Brand ambassador John Heald said Bagels @ Sea is available across Carnival’s North American fleet and that guests can have the bagels toasted.
According to information about the pop-up, Bagels @ Sea operates during morning breakfast hours and may take over existing service areas, including the Pizzeria or Seafood Shack. The concept offers signature selections and customizable spreads.
Heald said Chicken, Waffles & Waves is available on Carnival Freedom, Carnival Liberty, Carnival Glory and Carnival Valor. The venue is positioned aft on Deck 10, above the Lido Marketplace buffet, in space traditionally occupied by the ships’ barbecue station.
The concepts are part of several food-and-beverage initiatives Carnival has been trying. The cruise line has tested specialty-coffee ordering through its HUB app, allowing passengers to place mobile orders. Carnival has also introduced Fruity & Frosted Breakfast Bars and dedicated Ice Cream & Milkshake Bar pop-ups aboard its Excel-class ships Mardi Gras, Celebration and Jubilee.
