Key Aspects:

• Carnival is expanding the new Bagels @ Sea breakfast offering, which is now available on seven ships.
• The entire Fun Ship fleet should be serving the new breakfast bagel sandwiches by the end of the year.
• Guest feedback has been positive, but there is a call for a gluten-free bagel, which is missing from the menu.

Carnival guests who enjoy a morning bagel will be excited as the new Bagels @ Sea bar is expanding to more ships. Already on seven Carnival cruise ships, the breakfast sandwiches should be onboard the entire Fun Ship fleet in the next six weeks.

Bagels @ Sea was first spotted as a breakfast option aboard Carnival Panorama earlier this month but has already been wildly popular.

Now, Carnival Cruise Line’s brand ambassador, John Heald, has confirmed to spread of the bagels (see what I did there?) to other ships. He is currently aboard Carnival Magic for a SEA sailing and shared a video of the Bagels @ Sea offerings served from the ship’s pizzeria during breakfast hours.

Bagels @ Sea is now offered onboard:

• Carnival Conquest
• Carnival Dream
• Carnival Firenze
• Carnival Horizon
• Carnival Jubilee
• Carnival Magic
• Carnival Panorama

“I will share the rollout schedule for the rest of the fleet in the coming days and we hope to have this available on every ship by the end of the year,” Heald explained. “Thank you and enjoy your bagel.”

Guest reactions to the new breakfast options have been very positive, and recent cruisers have confirmed that some of the selections can be customized.

“I loved the rainbow bagel with strawberry cream cheese and diced strawberries. I left off the sprinkles,” one guest noted.

“Great change of pace for a quick light breakfast,” another added.

Bagels @ Sea are found in different locations on different ships, depending on available breakfast venues and space. The pizzeria is a common spot for the fast breakfast sandwiches, and just like with the pizza available at other times, there is no extra charge to enjoy these breakfast bagels.

What Bagels Are Offered?

So, what bagels can you get from Bagels @ Sea? The menu offers a selection of options, from customizable bagel-and-spread choices to more elaborate sandwich creations.

Plain, whole wheat, seeded, asiago, and blueberry bagels can be paired with plain cream cheese, scallion and bacon spread, salmon and lox (nova) spread, or sweet vanilla (wedding cake) spread.

There are also four heartier sandwiches guests can choose from. The Breakfast Club features a western omelet, sausage, bacon, cheddar, and chive cream cheese. For a more classic flavor, guests might enjoy the Carnival Lox with smoked salmon, capers, onion, avocado and cream cheese.

Guests focused on protein won’t want to miss the Powerhouse Protein with pesto chicken, egg whites, fresh spinach, avocado, tomato, and a slice of pepper jack cheese for an extra kick.

For me, the Rainbow is intriguing with a colorful bagel filled with strawberry cream cheese, diced strawberries, funfetti sprinkles (the same as in the iconic embarkation day funfetti cheesecake!), and maple caramel.

The One Missing Bagel

One type of bagel that is not available with the Bagels @ Sea offerings is a gluten-free bagel. Multiple guests have commented on the omission, and hopefully, Carnival Cruise Line will adapt the menu to offer a gluten-free option either with the available spreads or to be substituted on the sandwiches.

It is not uncommon for these types of specialized menus to be tweaked and adjusted as guests’ feedback is taken into consideration.

Different options might be added or some selections removed if they prove to be less popular overall. Time will tell, but first, the rollout to the rest of the Carnival fleet must be finished.

Then, as a few weeks’ or months’ of feedback is collected, different menu changes might be implemented.
