Carnival Freedom Main Dining Rooms: Posh & Chic

The Posh and Chic (Main Dining Room) Restaurants:

CCL_Food_lobster2In keeping with the decorative theme, which highlights historical eras past to recent, Carnival Freedom's Posh main dining room and the Chic Restaurant blend polished marble, painted python skin, and muted sunset shades to create a two tiered pleasure to the eye! Menu items include starters such as fried shrimp, tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella, soups and salads. Spiced and grilled chicken breasts,  seafood, beef entrees such as FiletMignon, Penne in Tomato Cream with Vodka, Norwegian Salmon, Roasted Turkey, and Red Snapper Filets pan fried or grilled are among main menu selections. Ice cream, sherbet, cheeses, pies, and cakes are examples of dessert choices. (The Warm Chocolate Melting Cake receives  very good reviews by guests.) Your French Chef, Georges Blanc, does suggest signature menu items, and your staff performs entertaining  musical interludes. The Posh is aft, and includes more windows than The Chic dining room onboard Carnival Freedom, and both are located on the Lobby Deck.

Breakfast is served from 7:45am to 9:00am. Lunch is from noon to 1:30pm. Early dinner seating time ranges from 5:45pm to 6:15pm, and late dinner time seating is from 8:00pm to 8:30pm.

Tips for the Carnival Freedom's Main Dining Rooms - The Chic and The Posh

  • Breakfast is served from 7:45am to 9:00am.
  • Lunch is from noon to 1:30pm.
  • Early dinner time seating ranges from 5:45pm to 6:15pm, and late dinner time seating is from 8:00pm to 8:30pm.
  • Both restaurants require reservations for dinner.
  • For breakfast and lunch, casual  clothing is OK, but no swim wear or shorts are permitted.
  • Appropriate attire is a must for dinner.
  • Meals are no cost, but special beverages, wines, beer, and soft drinks may be purchased via current bar menu.
  • When ordering steaks, make sure you state your preferences as the kitchen tends to over-cook meat.
  • This ship receives mixed main dining reviews, but service from staff is generally considered to be excellent.
  • Seating in the balcony areas is preferable for most because it is more quiet than the main floor.
  • Main dining room restaurants are less crowded than The Freedom Restaurant for breakfast and lunch.
  • Typically, only one main dining room is open for breakfast. While both main dining rooms of the Carnival Freedom offer meals many guests recommend, The Sun King Steakhouse is considered to be the dining highlight of the cruise and we highly suggest you plan at least one evening to include this experience.
