Located on the lido deck two eatery bars are going to offer great foods when the Carnival cruise ship completes dry dock and enters service again. The newly updated Deli offers a wide range of different type sandwiches. Bonsai Sushi Express located across the way to the Deli has smaller Sushi dishes which can be enjoyed by anyone.
