The Carnival Panorama has a ridiculous amount of food… but not all of it is worth your time (or your money).
In this video, I’m ranking EVERY specialty (extra-fee) restaurant on the Carnival Panorama from WORST to FIRST—so you know exactly what to skip, what to splurge on, and what’s secretly a better deal than most cruisers realize.
There are 10 included (free) spots and 14 specialty (paid) restaurants, for a total of 36 different food offerings onboard—and yep… I ate all of them to make the ultimate Carnival Panorama food guide for your cruise.
This is Part 2, where we focus only on specialty dining + à la carte paid bites like:
Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse
JiJi Asian Kitchen
Bonsai Teppanyaki
Bonsai Sushi
Cucina del Capitano
Seafood Shack
Pig & Anchor Brewhouse
Java Blue (coffee, sweets, spiked drinks)
And throughout the ranking, I’m dropping game-changing pro tips—the kind of stuff even seasoned Diamond cruisers miss—including booking hacks that can save you money, and how to time your reservations so you don’t waste a single dinner.
PLUS: Stay to the end for the reveal of the secret, hidden restaurant that you literally can’t even see unless you have a reservation… and it might be the best foodie experience on the entire ship.
If you missed Part 1 (all the FREE/included restaurants ranked), watch that next because it’ll help you decide if specialty dining is even worth it for your sailing.
