- Fahrenheit 555 and Bonsai Sushi Express are coming to Carnival Encounter and Carnival Adventure.
- Carnival Topside Grill will serve as a new specialty burger restaurant.
- Luke’s Burger and Luke’s Bar and Grill are leaving the ship.
- Pizza and soft serve will not be changing to 24/7 availability like other Carnival ships.
Carnival has given us a peek into what dry dock changes will look like for Carnival Encounter and Carnival Adventure, and they will likely prove exciting for some and divisive for others.
Carnival Encounter is currently in dry dock in Singapore, and Carnival Adventure will go into dry dock this time next year.
According to social media posts, Australian cruisers have been wondering whether both ships would be heavily ‘Carnivalised’, or whether the line will retain some aspects of the interior from when the vessels were part of the P&O Cruises Australia brand.
The classic Carnival steakhouse Fahrenheit 555 will replace Luke’s Bar and Grill, and Bonsai Sushi Express will be arriving where P&O used to have Lily’s.
Carnival Topside Grill will be taking over from Luke’s Burgers. This will be a new restaurant just on Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter, which will operate as a specialty burger venue.
Farenheit 555 already operates across the Carnival fleet so many Aussies will be familiar with it, and Bonsai Sushi Express can be enjoyed on Carnival Luminosa.
Carnival also confirmed that despite the wishes of many cruising fans, 24/7 free pizza and soft serve won’t be implemented on Encounter and Adventure for now. Rather, free pizza continue to be served from 11am to 4pm daily and ice cream will be available from New Zealand Ice Creamery, but not as an included extra.
Cruise Passenger readers previously expressed that these perks were number one on their wish list for dry dock changes, but unfortunately for now the pizza and soft serve situation will remain equal.
Anton Loeb, Carnival Cruise Line Assistant Vice President Sales & Marketing said: “We are delighted to be bringing Fahrenheit 555 to all of our Australia-based ships, so guests can experience Carnival’s signature premium experience no matter where or when they sail with us.”
