Carnival cruisers are unleashing their inner foodies, and it’s no surprise that while Guy’s Burger Joint is a crowd favorite, there’s an even sweeter champion making waves onboard.
Created in collaboration with the lively Food Network star, Guy Fieri, Guy’s Burger Joint has become a go-to spot for passengers craving juicy, roadside-style burgers and crispy hand-cut fries while enjoying the sun by the pool. With its vibrant atmosphere and mouthwatering offerings, this casual dining experience has indeed struck a chord with cruise-goers.
**The Burger Craze: A Competitive Landscape**
Despite the tantalizing array of dining options available—from pizzas and tacos to deli sandwiches and sumptuous buffets—**nothing quite compares to the allure of a burger from Guy’s Burger Joint.** Statistics reveal that more Carnival cruisers opt for this poolside delight than any other lunch option. However, hold onto your taste buds because there’s a surprising twist to this culinary tale.
**Summer Sweets: Ice Cream Reigns Supreme**
This summer, Carnival Cruise Line is gearing up to make waves with a statistic that may take you by surprise: a whopping 13 million servings of ice cream are expected to be consumed by happy passengers during their voyages!
Indeed, while Guy’s Burger Joint anticipates serving approximately 2.8 million burgers fleetwide, it seems that cruisers have a sweet tooth that’s even more insatiable. The cruise line predicts they’ll also serve around 2.4 million slices of pizza—yet ice cream wins in an ice-cold landslide!
Why is this delicious dairy delight taking the crown? Besides the joy of treating oneself to a cone while basking in the sunshine, many passengers indulge in several servings throughout their cruise, enjoying a scoop (or two!) well into the evening. The soft-serve ice cream stations become busiest during warm-weather trips, catering not just to kids but to adults craving a cool twist of nostalgia.
In my professional opinion, this straightforward creamy treat is often more enjoyable than some elaborate desserts featured in the ships’ main dining rooms. There’s something simply magical about savoring a swirl of soft-serve ice cream while gently rocking on a cruise ship!
**Beverage Bonanza: Soda and Beer Take the Spotlight**
Beyond the realm of food, Carnival’s summer travel infographic reveals that beverages also play a significant role in the vacation experience. Sodas and beers top the list as the most popular choices among thirsty travelers.
During this summer season, Carnival anticipates serving an astounding **6.5 million sodas**, alongside **4.4 million beers** and **1.3 million glasses of wine**. Cheers to that!
As the Memorial Day weekend approaches, many vacationers will be raising their glasses in celebration. Carnival will kick off the summer travel season with 23 cruises departing from 10 U.S. homeports, making it a summer to remember.
**Exciting Destinations Await**
But the adventure doesn’t stop at food. Carnival Cruise Line is also poised to unveil a brand-new exclusive destination in the Bahamas this summer. Introducing **Celebration Key**, opening on July 19, this enchanting retreat will offer everything from pristine beaches and freshwater lagoons to authentic local cuisine and shopping opportunities.
With 15 Carnival ships scheduled to visit this tropical paradise, it’s clear that summer is going to be brimming with excitement and scrumptious onboard delights!
