VegBlogger is an ethical vegetarian writer's blog, featuring posts on vegan restaurant and product reviews, humane education, ethical vegetarianism, veganism, green living, raising vegetarian children, animal rights, vegan recipes, and more. My mission is to inform, inspire, and combat apathy. Happily veg (primarily vegan) since October 1995!
We take a family cruise every year. Our last five cruises have been on various Carnival Cruise ships. continentalairlines They all seem to offer about the same thing when it comes to dining (literally many of the meals in the dining room are the same each year, regardless of ship). Not a big deal, but I just wanted to post about our experience dining as a vegetarian family on the Carnival ships.
We just got back from our most recent cruise two days ago. This time we went on the Paradise, but year it was the Ecstacy, and prior to that it was Destiny. The food has been the same, so this post should continentalairlines provide some accurate vegetarian and vegan dining continentalairlines tips fleet wide.
Buffet or Small Restaurant Options Breakfast options for vegans on the Carnival cruises are great. And if you want to eat vegetarian there s even more options (e.g., pancakes, etc.). We love that we can get some tasty oatmeal or grits and add in raisins or cranberries, walnuts or slivered almonds, brown sugar, etc. There s also a variety of fresh fruit and cereals. They do have soy milk on board, but you have to request it. They do not have it sitting out where you d find the other milk. Just ask one of those working in the dining room, however, and they will happily get you soy milk. You may also find other options that are vegan, but you d want to inquire first, including hash browns, bagels, toast, etc.
Lunch for us is one of more difficult meals to find something vegan, although there are vegetarian options, including a veggie burger, fries, and wok station. At the wok station they offer black bean sauce. You tell them what you want in the stir fry, so you could request that it be vegan.
Hopefully you like lots of fruits and veggies (which, as a vegan you should continentalairlines anyway!). For dinner in the buffet area there is always a great salad bar and fresh fruit bar. The salad bar has lettuce, a variety of veggies, kidney beans, chickpeas, seeds, and dressings. You can certainly dine on a nice big salad. Get there early and it s all very fresh, because most people are heading for the meat carving stations! The fresh fruit bar has a variety to choose from as well, including sliced continentalairlines watermelon, bananas, apples, oranges, various melons, pineapple, etc. There are also baked potatoes available every evening for dinner.
continentalairlines Main Dining Room Options When it comes to dinner you have the option of eating in the main dining room each day, or at the buffet. We switch it up, depending continentalairlines on what s being offered in the main dining room. The dining room has one set vegetarian main entree each day (an Indian dish) and then one that changes each day. Options continentalairlines included enchiladas, eggplant parm, chili rellanos, a sweet potato pie with cheese, spring rolls, continentalairlines and tofu steaks. The only one of these that I ate this time around was the tofu steaks, which were good. You can also get fresh greens, and some other sides that are vegan and/or vegetarian.
In the main dining room they offer a pasta with marinara sauce on the children s menu, but it s not on the adult menu. But that s what I wanted, and they were happy to oblige. So keep that in mind. You can ask them for some pasta with marinara. It was actually pretty good, too!
What I Like The food on the Carnival Cruises is not the top of the line. But we eat just fine. I like that they put vegetarian on the label of the foods that are so. That way if we want to know if a particular pasta or dish is vegetarian we have the answer right there. I also like that they will accommodate you if you ask. They seem happy to get you something that may not be on their typical menu or put out for everyone.
What I Don t Like My biggest complaint as a vegetarian diner on the Carnival Cruises is that when you go into the buffet at dinner time they often have zero main entress that are vegetarian. Ugh! Seriously, they will have four to five main entrees, all of which are meat-based. I think they should strive to always have at least one main entree in the buffet at dinner time that is vegetarian (preferably vegan). continentalairlines It would also be nice if the soy milk were more readily available, rather than always having to ask for it and wait five minutes while someone hunts some down.
We typically eat oatmeal or grits for breakfast, a veggie burger and fries, stir fry, or something similar for lunch, and then try new things for dinner (e.g., tofu steaks, pasta, stir fry, dish of the day, salad/baked potato/fresh fruit, etc.). continentalairlines We also usually eat lunch off the ship when we are at various destinations. We do that because we like to try some of the food at the places we are stopping to visit.
I have also cruised with Princess and Disney. I can say that they had way better vegetarian food options, but we do manage on the Carnival Cruises. Still, it s nice to be so spoiled with the great options on the other cruise lines (but you pay for it big time in the price, as Carnvial so much more affordable).

i just completed my first B2B2B. Total 33 days. Only hit two ports twice, Grand Cayman and St. Maarten. Well, we actually went to Grand Cayman vancouver sport car rentals a third time on the way back to have a tender take a person with a medical emergency off the ship. I hope they are doing better.
It was great to be on the ship for that long and going to so many different ports. Only one port I had not been to previously and that was Santa Marta, Columbia. But it was great! I really enjoyed it. I did kind of hit a bit of a wall around the 29th day where I was impatient with the noise and constantly being around people but an evening in my cabin alone helped that!

For all the other qualities of Carnival Vista, it's probably these two that will make the headlines.

Last week Carnival unveiled las vegas nascar tickets its new ship, Carnival Vista . It comes with a host of new features to stun and amaze, not least the first IMAX cinema at sea and a kind of thrill ride high above the deck in a recumbent bicycle. But there s something las vegas nascar tickets that the brains behind these novel ideas missed an idea that unites every cruiser
For all the other qualities of Carnival Vista, it’s probably these two that will make the headlines. Why? Because las vegas nascar tickets they’re gimmicks. And it’s the gimmicks that people remember. The first climbing wall at sea, the first ice rink, the first lawn, the first ice bar. Even posher ships have fallen into the trap, like Viking Star, with its snow cave and the first infinity pool at sea (which sounds nice) and Europa 2, with its Kneipp foot pool in the spa (meh).
Whether or not a gimmick does it for you is a very personal thing. I, for example, have no interest in climbing walls (Royal Caribbean) and would never ‘walk the plank’ (NCL). But I love waterslides, which less than two decades ago were considered the height of innovation on cruise ships, so there’s no real logic here. An IMAX cinema might be quite fun on a rainy afternoon and I absolutely love the Lawn Club on Celebrity’s Solstice-class ships (although the Hot Glass Show that appeared las vegas nascar tickets on the earlier ships in the series was, in my very biased opinion, a complete waste of space). I thought the North Star capsule on Quantum of the Seas was going to be another expensive frippery but actually enjoyed it a lot and, should I sail on the ship again, would probably go up in it more than once. The Bionic Bar on Quantum, however, where drinks are prepared in plastic cups by robots, seems a bit of a folly. It’s fun, you want to try it once and I can completely see why Royal Caribbean wanted to include it on a ship that’s all about innovation – but it probably wouldn’t be a comfortable place to hang out of an evening, what with the crowds and the queues.
This is the thing about gimmicks. Do they actually add value to a new ship or are they just attention grabbers? To me, it’s the other features of the ship that count – more mundane things like the comfort of the cabins, the choice of restaurants, the presence of a really classy cocktail bar. And let’s not forget the itinerary.
I understand that fun new features are a way of creating an identity for the ship and often, a source of revenue for the cruise line. I also like the idea that cruising can represent the cutting edge of the holiday industry. But when’s it going to stop? I wonder if we’d accept a big new ship without a host of rides and robots, or if it would simply fail to lure the crowds? Perhaps, when it comes to the joy of a holiday at sea, we’ve lost sight of the bigger picture.

After nearly a week of sailing the Western Caribbean on the inaugural sailing of Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Freedom from her new homeport of Galveston, Texas , we’re nearing the end of our journey. At this time tomorrow, thousands of guests will be heading back to their respective homes, while another 2,980 will embark tomorrow for their very own Fun Ship voyage to the Caribbean.
As of January 1, 2014, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) has decided that, regardless of whether you are a resident of Texas or not, you should luxury car rental birmingham alabama pay an importation tax on any and all liquor and tobacco purchased on your cruise, or in one of your ports of call. This applies not only to Texans, but to anyone from any country anywhere in the world passing through a Texan port. Even if you’re in-transit to a foreign country (as I am), they’ll nail you.
Now, I have to admit to having a huge problem with that. For a state that pretty much allows you to carry firearms unfettered to your little luxury car rental birmingham alabama heart’s desire, cracking down on alcohol seems hypocritical. It’s not that the fee is exorbitant (a 750ml bottle of wine will cost a whole $3.25), but cruising out of Texas is still on the rebound after having nearly died out completely a few years back. Affixing a tax to alcohol and tobacco just smells like a cash-grab, particularly when the form from the TABC notes that the tax of $3.25 includes an administration fee of $3. Y’all come back now.
