"Emeril's restaurants on our two new ships have been a great addition to our dining offerings and guests rave about the food, which will also be on Carnival Jubilee come next December. With Emeril's culinary expertise and broader profile on our ships, along with our wildly popular partnership with Food Network star Guy Fieri, Carnival will feature two iconic talents in the food and dining industry across our fleet." said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Guests will be able to see Lagasse's input on the menus of main dining rooms fleetwide, including entrées under the category "Emeril recommends" picks.

The event also coincides with the cruise line's line expansion of operations in New York City, with year-round departures from the Manhattan Cruise Terminal on board Carnival Venezia beginning in June.
