Carnival Fahrenheit 555 Long Lunch Menu
Fahrenheit 555 is best known as Carnival Cruise Line’s specialty steakhouse for dinner, but some sailings offer a very different way to experience the restaurant during the day: the Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse Long Lunch.
The Long Lunch shown here is a multi-course specialty dining experience with a broad menu that goes well beyond steak. Guests can choose from seafood, lamb, chicken, pork, pasta and vegetarian dishes, along with sides and desserts. An optional wine pairing is also available.
The onboard sign photographed for this menu advertised the Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse Long Lunch for $45 per person. The menu also listed an optional half-glass wine pairing with each course for $26.
This should not be confused with Carnival’s standard Fahrenheit 555 dinner. Carnival currently lists its regular steakhouse dinner separately, and prices, menus and Long Lunch availability can vary by ship and sailing.
Here is a look at the Fahrenheit 555 Long Lunch menu and what was offered during this particular sailing.
Fahrenheit 555 Long Lunch Entrées
Despite the heading “Entrées,” this section functions as the opening-course selection on the photographed Long Lunch menu and offers considerably more variety than a traditional steakhouse appetizer list.
Sydney Rock Oysters are available either natural with classic mignonette or Kilpatrick-style with pancetta, Worcestershire, Parmesan and grilling.
The Mezze Platter combines hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, muhammara and pita, providing a meat-free option.
Seafood continues with linguine prepared with lump crab, chilli, garlic, grape tomato and spring herbs.
Other choices include smoked duck breast with carrot purée, blackberry jus and preserved prune; crispy pork belly bao with pickled greens, chilli mayo and peanuts; and a lamb slider made with pulled shoulder, date BBQ sauce, cherry peppers, slaw and sumac chips.
Two lighter selections round out this part of the menu: heirloom tomatoes and beetroot with rocket, goat cheese, walnuts and citrus vinaigrette, and Grains & Greens with ancient grains, gourmet herbs, basil and buttermilk dressing.
Suggested wine pairings are printed beneath the individual dishes.
Fahrenheit 555 Long Lunch Main Courses
The main-course menu continues the unusually broad selection.
Grilled Seafood comes with Valencia paella rice, sofrito, saffron and preserved lemon.
Land and Sea combines a colossal tiger prawn with center-cut filet, truffle béarnaise and asparagus.
The Grilled Tasmanian Salmon is accompanied by miso hollandaise, asparagus and smoked aubergine.
Guests looking beyond seafood and steak have several choices. Chicken al Mattone features brick-grilled half chicken with potato gnocchi, rocket and Parmesan salad, while Lamb Rogan Josh pairs a tender shank with a Kashmiri spice blend, yoghurt and basmati rice.
There is also a 555 Primal Steak Burger made with grain-fed Angus mince and served with beet, lettuce, Roma tomato, cheddar and onion rings on a brioche bun.
The Mushroom Salt N’ Pepper provides a meat-free alternative with wok-fried noodles, Asian greens and tofu.
Premium Seafood Add-Ons
Two seafood selections on this particular menu carry additional charges.
The Seafood Platter is listed at $30 and includes chilled crab, peeled and eat king prawns, shell-on scallops, blue mussels and wasabi cocktail sauce.
Tropical Lobster is listed at an additional $40, with a choice of grilled or Mornay preparation.
These prices come from the photographed menu and should not be assumed to apply to every Carnival sailing.
Sides and Desserts
The Long Lunch includes a straightforward selection of sides:
- Potato Mash
- Garlic Spinach
- Basmati Pilaf
- Seasonal Greens
- Roasted Seasonal Vegetables
- Dessert offers three choices.
- Soy Milk Panna Cotta comes with elderflower jelly, mandarin and fresh berries.
- Profiterole is paired with mango curd and coconut cream.
- The Tropical Fruits and Berries option is served with lime sorbet.
Wine recommendations are again printed alongside the desserts.
Fahrenheit 555 Long Lunch Wine Pairing
The menu offers an optional wine pairing consisting of a half glass with each course for $26.
Individual recommendations are printed beside the dishes, including wines from Australia, France, Italy and New Zealand.
Among the producers represented on this particular menu are Gerard Bertrand, Château Tanunda, Tyrrell’s, Bremerton, Ara Single, The Lane Estate, Kylie Minogue Wines and De Bortoli.
Because wine selections and prices can change, the photographed menu is best treated as a snapshot of the pairing offered with this particular Long Lunch.
How Much Is the Fahrenheit 555 Long Lunch?
The onboard sign shown here advertises the Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse Long Lunch at $45 per person.
The menu separately lists the half-glass wine pairing with each course for $26.
There are also two premium seafood options carrying additional charges: the Seafood Platter at $30 and Tropical Lobster at $40.
These prices apply to the menu and signage photographed here and should not be treated as guaranteed current pricing for another sailing.
Is This the Regular Fahrenheit 555 Dinner Menu?
No.
Carnival’s regular Fahrenheit 555 experience is primarily marketed as a specialty steakhouse dinner featuring premium cuts of beef, seafood, appetizers and an extensive wine list. Carnival currently lists the regular steakhouse dinner separately from the Long Lunch shown here.
The Long Lunch menu is noticeably different, with dishes such as Sydney Rock Oysters, lamb slider, crispy pork belly bao, Lamb Rogan Josh, Grilled Tasmanian Salmon and the 555 Primal Steak Burger.
That distinction matters when researching Carnival Fahrenheit 555 menus online: the dinner menu should not be used to predict what will be served at a Long Lunch.
Which Carnival Ships Have Fahrenheit 555?
Fahrenheit 555 is Carnival’s branded steakhouse on select ships, while Carnival operates steakhouses under different names across much of the fleet.
Carnival currently lists Fahrenheit 555 aboard Carnival Adventure, Carnival Encounter, Carnival Luminosa and Carnival Splendor.
However, the presence of Fahrenheit 555 on a ship does not establish that this particular Long Lunch menu will be offered. The Long Lunch is a separate offering whose availability, menu and pricing can depend on the sailing.
Is the Fahrenheit 555 Long Lunch Worth Considering?
For passengers who want a specialty meal during the day, the menu provides substantially more variety than its “Steakhouse” name might suggest.
There is steak, but the choices also cover oysters, crab, prawns, salmon, duck, pork belly, lamb, chicken, pasta and several meat-free dishes.
The $45 price shown on the photographed sign also needs to be considered separately from Carnival’s regular Fahrenheit 555 dinner pricing. Carnival currently lists its standard U.S. steakhouse dinner at $52 per adult, illustrating why travelers should check the exact dining option and price offered on their own sailing rather than relying on an older menu.

Conclusion
The Carnival Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse Long Lunch offers a different experience from the restaurant’s better-known evening steakhouse service.
The menu shown here combines steakhouse dishes with a much wider mix of seafood, Australian ingredients, Mediterranean and Asian influences, vegetarian choices and desserts. Sydney Rock Oysters, Grilled Tasmanian Salmon, Land and Sea, Lamb Rogan Josh and the 555 Primal Steak Burger are among the more distinctive choices.
At the time this menu was photographed, the Long Lunch was advertised at $45 per person, with an optional $26 wine pairing and additional charges for the Seafood Platter and Tropical Lobster.
The most important thing for passengers planning a cruise is not to assume this exact menu, price or Long Lunch experience will be offered simply because their ship has Fahrenheit 555. Carnival operates the steakhouse across numerous ships, but specialty offerings can vary. Check the dining options for your specific sailing before boarding.
