    Dine in the two principal dining rooms – the Atlantic and the Pacific – with a choice of fixed-time dining at two seating times, or flexible “Your Time Dining”. Dining assignments can be booked before the cruise. Menus change daily and service is excellent. There’s at least one formal dinner, so come prepared to dress up. Breakfast and lunch are open seating. The casual Lido Restaurant buffet is the expansive two-level poolside eatery, offering casual alternatives for breakfast and lunch.

Highlights

  • Sunlight can’t get from place to place without doing a little radiatin’. For example, let’s say Point “A” is the sun… so Point “B” is ME. I’m Carnival Radiance, and come 2020, I’m going to be a great spot to feel a little warmth on your skin and fun in your soul. Just remember the sunscreen.

  • Once the sun’s up hit the upper decks and you’re sure to find sunlight splashed across the competitive/fun SportSquare area… and water across the very-splashy Carnival WaterWorks, of course.

  • The dining is going to be delicious. You’ll find a Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse (as in: Guy Fieri) and a Big Chicken (as in: fried-chicken fan Shaq, Carnival’s Chief Fun Officer) right on board.
