In some recent changes to cruise ship dining, Carnival Cruise Lines has just announced a new pop-up eatery onboard whilst another cruise line has just launched its own cookbook.
Following the success of Bonsai Sushi restaurants on several ships, Carnival has rolled out a new pop-up sushi venue on four of their Conquest-class cruise vessels.
The new eatery will be featured on the Lido deck on Carnival Conquest, Carnival Valor, Carnival Liberty and Carnival Glory.
The menu will feature sushi and sashimi, including Ebi (shrimp); Sake (salmon); Maguro (tuna); and Hamachi (amberjack)- all of which will be available at $1.50 per piece. Guests can also choose from California Rolls and Spicy Tuna Rolls at $5 per roll, including Bang Bang Bonsai Roll and Tempura Roll at $7.50 each.
Carnival guests will place their order at the counter and then given a pager which will buzz when the sushi is ready.
Additionally though, complimentary sushi is still available at the Taste Bar appetizer venue and the Lido Restaurants on select nights for a fee in the Bonsai Sushi full-service restaurants on the following ships: Carnival Breeze, Carnival Dream, Carnival Legend, Carnival Pride, Carnival Sunshine and Carnival Vista

The new cookbook is a wonderful souvenir for when guests return home.”
