Mardi Gras Muffuletta. While most Mardi Gras fare has French-Creole roots, this Italian sandwich is Mardi Gras approved. It’s savory, filling, and sure to help mitigate a night of drinki *ahem* festivities. On Mardi Gras, Chibang offers a mix of free and paid dining options. Lunch at Chibang is always free for all guests. For dinner, your first visit to Chibang is complimentary. If you want to dine there for dinner again during your cruise, you’ll need to pay a small fee of $8 per person for each additional visit. It’s still a good idea to pack items of clothing that are versatile, for example sundresses or shorts that can take you from the beach to dinner, or shorts that work for both hiking and hanging out on deck. We suggest you pack the following: Carnival Cruise Line guests on the Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration, and Carnival Jubilee are able to enjoy some of Carnival's specialty dining options for free at dinner (for at least one meal depending on the venue). This includes Cucina Del Capitano, Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse, and Chibang. MEET THE CEREMONY. We kick off a new ship’s career with a naming ceremony and ours are one part tradition and a lotta parts fun! On the tradition end, we get dignitaries like Mardi Gras' godmother, Miss Dominican Republic Kimberly Jiménez, and our own Chief Fun Officer Shaq to help make sure the champagne bottle gets broken just right for good luck.
