i have never been on carnival ship and instead of bumbling around (which is OK to )finding out what foods are available can i get a good list of what venues are available .both included and not included. especially coffe shop do you have to pay for coffee and danish.yes i know i could probably search for all this but it would be nice to have it in one spot all the info.ship is gonna be spirit .but will probably book a last minute cruise as my schedule allows.

Every class of ship is different but the Spirit class will have included food in the main dining room, room service and Lido deck buffet. The extra charge areas would be the Steakhouse and the cafe. The Lido deck wiill have the most variety for breakfast and lunch including a deli, 24 hour pizza and soft serve ice cream, traditional buffets where the selection changes daily, mongolian grill, a grill that serves hot dogs and hamburgers and fries. I am probably forgetting some of the areas but the Spirit class Lido restarant seems to go on forever and we haven't sailed her since May 2008. Cindy

The included restaurants are usually:

 

-The lido buffet, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. also you may find a deli station, a taste of the nations and an Asian corner . also salad bar is located here. The pizza is around the lido restaurant open 24 hrs also soft serve ice cream.

-The dinning room(s), you may be assigned one for dinner or you may choose 'your time dinning' - one dinning room is usually open for breakfast and lunch also.

-Room service

 

The specialty coffee shops you can expect to pay for and along with a supper club/steakhouse type of restaurant for dinner, you make reservations for.

Head over to your Cruise Roll Call board, I bet you find someone on it who has Cruised on her before. Or read a few of the Spirit Roll Calls chances are you find someone who can answer your question as it's specific to that ship. Most posters don't mind if you jump on their roll call and ask a question and for those that do well just ask nicely.......:D

Don't forget that room service is included too! People suggest giving a tip to the person who delivers, but there is not an additional fee for the food that they bring. The breakfast tends to be continental style, and they serve a lot of sandwiches otherwise....but it is a nice service!:D

The prices at the $coffee shop/cafe on the Glory, were similar to coffee shops onland. The prices for cakes, and danish were lower I believe than most bakery's. The strawberry shortcake is very very good.

it seems funny to me that the lobster and prime rib are included in cruise but coffee and danish in coffee are not.looks like i will order coffee and danish from room service in morning . i would rather give a tip to a worker anyway than give to coffe shop.

Coffee and Danish ARE included in the DR, the buffet, and RS. But if you want the overoasted, bitter, Starbuckish battery acid, you have to pay for it.

The coffee shop you pay at is like a Starbucks - although I think they serve Seattle's Best Coffee. Also have ice cream frappes (aka milk shakes) - at least on Freedom. A nice selection of cakes and pastries. My financee (now wife) enjoyed the lattes.

 

You can get "regular" coffee at the buffet and MDR. Also, you can get free cappucino in the MDR.
