From hand-rolled sushi and a supper club modeled after New
York’s renowned steakhouses to Mongolian barbeque and
Indian tandoori, the new 113,300-ton Carnival Splendor will
provide guests with a delectable array of international cuisines
when it debuts in Europe this summer.

explore different culinary options for our guests’ enjoyment
and raise the bar on our ocean-going cuisine,” he added.
