Being our first time sailing with the brand, we were pleasantly surprised by all of the dining options and food quality. Now, we want to share with you the most up to date information for every restaurant on the ship. Feel free to share this Carnival Panorama Dining Guide and Restaurant Menus; we just ask that you credit Eat Sleep Cruise as the source when posting elsewhere.

Pizzeria del Capitano (Deck 10)
If you are a pizza lover like me, Pizzeria del Capitano will be your place to go 24 hours a day on Carnival Panorama. This pizza counter is located aft on deck 10 near the Tides pool. There are five different pizza offerings that are constantly being prepared throughout the day.
So, you can grab a personal pizza for lunch or maybe a late night snack whenever you want. Just don’t be surprised to find a small line here any time of day. You can even get delivery via the Carnival Hub app for a small fee.

Thank you! We’re planning to cruise this ship soon. There are so many specialty dining restaurants that I want to try but I wasn’t sure if it would be worth missing out on the main dining. The photos of all the menu’s definitely helped me decide 🙂
