Carnival Cruise Line has announced a menu change that is sure to delight its passengers.

Following an outpouring of requests from cruisers, the cruise line has made Funfetti Cheesecake a permanent fixture on the Lido buffet menu for embarkation day.

The announcement was made by Carnival Cruise Line Brand Ambassador John Heald in a Facebook post.

“You will, I am sure, be pleased to know that our Executive Chef Roshan has read the comments I sent him showing that this Funfetti Cheesecake has become an iconic Lido deck favorite on embarkation day,” Heald wrote.

“Chef informed me that this will now be available every embarkation day on every ship (including Excel ships) for Lido embarkation day lunch.”

The dessert has become a beloved tradition for many Carnival cruisers, who often see the Lido buffet as a quintessential start to their vacation.

“I love the Funfetti cheesecake! I don’t eat a lot of sweets until I’m on a ship. Everything that my husband and I have had been good,” shared Sandra Battle in response to Heald’s post.

Another passenger, Christy Parker Litton, expressed excitement about the change, stating, “I was one nine cruises in before I found out about this gem. OMG it is so good, I don’t eat sweets very often but now I run to this first, even Before Guy’s burgers.”

The news was met with enthusiasm from other passengers as well. “Now THIS is the most exciting news I’ve had all week! I was very sad not to see it on my last couple of cruises on embarkation day as it is the only sweet dessert I eat the whole cruise,” wrote Michelle Khlare Turner.
