Dining

There are two main dining rooms on the Freedom: the Posh Restaurant, where passengers can dine for early seating at 6 pm and late seating at 8:15 pm, and the Chic Restaurant, where dinner is done on “My Time Dining” and guests can eat any time between 5:45 pm and 9:30 pm. The menus at both of the main dining rooms include items that change daily as well as some standard items that appear every day.

On the Lido deck, between the ship’s two pools, you also will find the Freedom Restaurant, where an extensive buffet is served all day in the most casual of settings (i.e. you won’t be out of place if you show up in your bathing suit). Food ranging from Indian, Mongolian Grill, Seafood, and Sushi is offered here, but also other international cuisine, like Italian, Jamaican, English, and of course American. There is also a deli station, where guests can put together their own hot or cold sandwiches.

Outside the Freedom Restaurant, on the Lido deck, are two grill stations with burgers and hot dogs, as well as the Tandoor station and a 24-hour pizza bar. On the upper level of the Freedom Restaurant Carnival offers everything seafood: Fish & Chips, Nigiri, Bouillabaisse, and different seafood salads.

The Carnival Freedom has one extra-charge specialty restaurant, the Sun King Steakhouse. Reservations for the Sun King are necessary and a cover charge of $20 applies. The dress code is smart casual. The extensive menu includes some French and Italian dishes, and as one would expect for a steakhouse a number of different cuts of beef, pork, and lamb.

Note: In June 2012, Carnival increased the surcharge on all its steakhouses, to $35 per person.
