Mardi Gras back to full capacity - Carnival Cruise Lines - Cruise Critic Community On 3/30/2022 at 11:19 AM, newpherchris said: Thanks everyone for your replies - we prefer to eat early so it looks like I'll jump onto the hub app right at 5:30 or a minute before. Cucina Del Capitano on the Mardi Gras works differently than some of Carnival's older ships as on the Mardi Gras this is considered an alternative to the main dining room. Guests on Mardi Gras can dine one complimentary time in Cucina Del Capitano and then each additional visit costs extra ($8 per person at the time of writing).

We kick off a new ship’s career with a naming ceremony and ours are one part tradition and a lotta parts fun!

On Mardi Gras last year, the dining room opened 30 minutes earlier (5:00) on the first elegant night than the other six nights. Also, on Mardi Gras with YTD you have the option to dine in the dining room, Cucina del Capitano, Chibang, and Pig and Anchor. For Pig and Anchor you just show up, but you check in on the app for the others. Cucina del Capitano, ChiBang, and Guy's Pig and Anchor Smokehouse are all included dining venues, and anytime dining allows wider access to the first two - those with anytime dining can request a table at Cucina and ChiBang at any time during dinner service, while those with assigned dining (early or late) are restricted from requesting a table until I believe 8pm or around there. Guests may choose from three different dinner seating options. By popular request, all dining rooms are smoke-free. Assigned Seating - Early Dining and Late Dining This dining option offers guests a pre-set dining time for the duration of the cruise as well as the same table assignment each evening in the Main Dining Room.

From Port Canaveral: Mardi Gras, Carnival Freedom, and Carnival Glory. From Galveston: Carnival Dream and Carnival Legend. From New Orleans: Carnival Liberty. From Baltimore: Carnival Pride Carnival Luminosa Dining Times 2025; Carnival Mardi Gras Dining Times 2025 Carnival Panorama Dining Times 2025; Carnival Sunrise Dining Times 2025 Carnival Horizon Dining Times 2025; Carnival Vista Dining Times 2025; Carnival Sunshine Dining Times 2025; Carnival Breeze Dining Times 2025; Carnival Magic Dining Times 2025; Carnival Dream Dining The specialty dining on Carnival's XL class ships (Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration, and Carnival Jubilee) has a few differences when it comes to Cucina Del Capitano, Chibang, & Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse. I recently wrote a post about how on these 3 ships the venues are considered an alternative to the main dining room.
