Carnival's Total Choice Dining gives you more flexibility, more attentive service and more choices than ever before.

SOPHISTICATED DINING
Dining in the relaxed elegance of the formal dining rooms is always a culinary event. The tables are set for a first-class dining experience with superb cuisine, fine wines and incomparable service. Every night is sure to be a treat for your taste buds.

SUPPER CLUB
For more intimate dining, many ships feature a reservations-only supper club with a Manhattan-chic setting and a menu that includes steakhouse favorites. Every meal is a celebration in the reservations-only Supper Club. What a perfect way to celebrate a special occassion; from the top quality steaks and seafood favorites, to an extensive wine list and live entertainment. Bon Appetit!

CASUAL DINING
From the extravagant midnight buffets, to the 24-hour pizza and ice cream, you'll discover a myriad of palette pleasing favorites in the casual restaurants. Even the most discriminating diner will enjoy the sushi bars, specialty cafes and - for the truly health conscious - Spa Carnival selections.

SATISFY EVERY APPETITE
They didn't forget about the youngest cruisers.
Children's menus feature plenty of kid-pleasing favorites including spaghetti and meatballs, hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, macaroni and cheese, assorted desserts and much more. For added convenience, they also offer the "Fountain Funcard" which, for a one-time fee, provides unlimited soft drinks throughout the cruise.

Gratuities

Guests can pay their shipboard gratuities in one of two ways:

1. Reverse Gratuity Policy - For guests' convenience, a recommended gratuity can be automatically added to the onboard Sail & Sign account on embarkation day.

Guests will have the discretion to adjust these gratuities based upon the level of service received during the cruise. This includes the option to adjust gratuities (up or down) for any individual on the Dining or Housekeeping staff. In order to do so, the guest will need to visit the Information Desk on board.

2. Pre-Paid Gratuity Policy - Gratuities are pre-arranged and paid at the time of booking or any time up to two weeks prior to the sail date.

All guests on each booking must prepay the gratuities, with the exception of children under two. The pre-paid gratuities can not be removed once the booking has been ticketed. The guest will not have the option to adjust the gratuities (up or down) based on the level of service received during the cruise.

The dollar amount of the gratuities will appear in the Miscellaneous Charge field on the booking. The guest copy on the cruise ticket will indicate if gratuities have been paid.

The total amount will be $11.50 per guest, per day, which breaks down as follows:

$6.50 pp/pd for Dining Team Service (Headwaiter and Waiter)
$1.00 pp/pd for Bistro Service (Waiter/Cooks)
$4 pp/pd for Cabin Services (Cabin Steward)
Tipping the Maitre D' is strictly at guest's discretion, based upon services rendered. For guests who wish to extend this gratuity in cash, an envelope will be available on the last evening of the cruise.

Tipping still applies regardless of the dining options selected, such as eating at the casual dining restaurant or utilizing room service.

Bar Waiters, Deck Stewards and Bell Boys - Certain personnel, as noted above, may be tipped as service is rendered. A 15% gratuity is automatically added to beverage purchases which the guest may adjust appropriate to the service received.

Note: Guests under two years of age are not required to extend gratuities.

NB: All monetary values mentioned above are in US$.
