MIAMI (05/14/02) - The new Carnival Legend will offer guests a tantalizing array of formal and casual dining options, including an elegant two-level main dining room, an expansive poolside eatery, and a "steakhouse-style" supper club offering prime aged beef, along with a Carnival exclusive -- crab claws from Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant. Carnival Legend is the third "Fun Ship" to feature the world famous Florida delicacy.

The succulent crustaceans will be among the featured menu items in The Golden Fleece, a reservations-only supper club located at the top of a soaring nine-deck-high atrium and housed under a red-tinted glass dome that forms the forward portion of the ship's massive winged funnel. In addition to crab claws from Florida's most famous dining establishment, the intimate two-level restaurant will serve top quality, hand-cut beef, seafood and other upscale cuisine, all of which are enjoyed amidst striking interiors inspired by the Greek legend Jason and the Argonauts with gold bas-relief ships, black and gold figures of Jason, Grecian urns and other classic design elements. Gracing the restaurant's intimate bar is a two-foot-high by four-foot-long sculpture of the Golden Fleece. 

The Golden Fleece  Supper Club is just one of several delicious dining options available on the new 88,500-ton SuperLiner. The $375 million "floating resort" is also home to Truffles, a 1,250-seat formal restaurant where dine s can select from eight different soups, salads and appetizers, seven main courses, including the ever-popular Caribbean lobster tail once each cruise, and six desserts nightly, all served by friendly and efficient staff. Also available nightly in Truffles is Carnival Spa Fare, delicious guilt-free selections that are lower in fat, cholesterol, sodium and calories. Truffles features a dramatic décor that includes display cases housing elegant, decorative china patterns -- soup tureens, cups, saucers and platters - along with ceiling and wall murals featuring the swirling flowers, vines, vegetables, and tendrils made famous in Royal Copenhagen's Flora Danica china pattern. 

The décor of the Carnival Legend's two-level casual restaurant, the Unicorn Café, is just as dramatic, with bas relief sculptures of Unicorns, gothic arches and other medieval-inspired touches. Here, guests enjoy self-service breakfast and lunch buffets, extensive salad and dessert bars, meat-carving and made-to-order pasta stations, and 24-hour pizza and ice cream. A variety of specialty dining areas, including "Asian Corner," serving authentic delicacies from the Far East; "Taste of the Nation," featuring traditional cuisine from a different country each day; "The Rotisserie," serving broiled and roasted chicken and steak; and a New York-style deli, with hot and cold sandwiches and classic deli side dishes; are located throughout the sprawling 1,000-seat restaurant. The Unicorn Café is also home to the nightly "Seaview Bistro," Carnival's alternative dinner-time service featuring steaks, seafood, pasta, salads and other dishes served in a relaxed, café-like atmosphere.
