Sample options:

“Dining has always been a hallmark of the Carnival cruise experience and we’re constantly looking for new ways to provide our guests with exceptional meals and service that become a highlight of their vacation, bringing people together while creating fond memories,” said Mark Tamis, senior vice president of guest operations for Carnival Cruise Lines.
Other ships that will pilot the program are Carnival Liberty in January and Carnival Imagination and Inspiration starting February.
