Carnival Cruise Line has announced due to staffing shortage, they are making what they are calling “modest adjustments” to some of their onboard offerings.

Like Cucina del Capitano, the Italian venue, it will be closed for dinner until the end of June on all ships except Mardi Gras, where it’s a complimentary dining venue. Some of the dishes served in Cucina will be available free of charge in the main dining room.

In addition, the Chef’s Table dining experience will not be offered on all ships between now and the end of June.

Guests with reservations for either venue will receive a full refund to their original form of payment.
