If you’re a fan of both Chinese and Mexican cuisine, then Chibang on Carnival Cruise Line might just be the perfect dining spot for you. This unique restaurant, located on Carnival’s Excel Class ships, offers a fusion of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
Debuting in 2021 on Mardi Gras, Chibang was initially designed to handle overflow from the main dining room during peak dinner times. The restaurant features a vibrant mix of Mexican and Chinese decor, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere. However, if you’re looking for a quiet dinner, this might not be the venue for you, as tables are set close together and roving drink waiters try to upsell you on shots and other beverages.
The menu at Chibang is a delightful mix of Chinese and Mexican dishes, with options for both meat-eaters and vegetarians. From egg drop soup and spring rolls to loaded nachos and quesadillas, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Main course options include beef and broccoli stir-fry, sweet and sour shrimp, spicy striploin steak, and more.
While the first visit to Chibang is free for all guests, subsequent visits incur a surcharge of $8 per person. Additional fees apply for selections from the steakhouse section, alcoholic beverages, and extra main courses. Reservations are recommended, and lunch is always free of charge.
So if you’re looking to spice up your dining experience on a Carnival cruise, be sure to check out Chibang for a unique culinary adventure that combines the best of Chinese and Mexican cuisine.
