Cruise Ship Cuisine Re-defined

Carnival Cruise Lines revamped its ‘Spa Carnival Fare’ to incorporate the latest trends in preparation, ingredients and presentation.
The new selections will be featured on all dining room menus and include nearly 50 salads, appetizers, soups, entrees and desserts, all lower in calories, fat, cholesterol and sodium content, and free of trans fat.
For example, a tilapia fillet over ratatouille, zucchini cannelloni and asparagus nage is 280 calories, 7 mg fat, 50 mg cholesterol and 330 mg sodium.
The new items debuted over the weekend at inaugural events on Carnival Freedom in Italy.

What about those that aren't concerned about dieting on vacation? Can I stil find the more indulgent items that I would expect on a cruise?

Not to worry! You will still find enough delighful indulgences to satisfy almost any culinary interests. The cruise lines are trying to maintain balance so these healthier cuisine choices represent additions not subsitutions. So lobster with drawn butter and Black Forest chocolate cake endure!
