If you’re planning a Carnival Cruise and looking for a unique, family-friendly dining experience, you simply must try the Thing 1 and Thing 2 Birthday Breakfast! We had the pleasure of enjoying this whimsical breakfast on our last cruise on the Carnival Mardi Gras, and it was an unforgettable highlight of our trip.
A Feast for the Eyes and the Stomach
From the moment we sat down, we were immersed in the playful world of Dr. Seuss. The vibrant decorations and cheerful atmosphere set the stage for a delightful meal. Here’s a glimpse of what we enjoyed:

Grinch’s Pancakes
I started with the Grinch’s Pancakes—a stack of buttermilk green pancakes topped with sweet cream cheese, red candy hearts, and a generous dollop of creamy green whipped topping. Every bite was a burst of flavor and fun, perfectly capturing the whimsical spirit of Dr. Seuss.

Steak and Eggs
My husband opted for the Steak and Eggs, and let me tell you, it was the best steak we’ve had on the ship. Cooked to perfection, the steak was juicy and tender, complemented by perfectly cooked eggs. It was a gourmet experience right on our breakfast table.

Who-Ville Red Velvet French Toast
My mother-in-law indulged in the Who-Ville Red Velvet French Toast. This dish featured delicious brioche bread stuffed with a strawberry and peanut butter jelly spread, drenched in fresh cream and egg batter, rolled in frosted flakes, and griddled to a golden brown. Topped with whipped cream and served with pure maple syrup, it was a decadent treat that she couldn’t stop raving about.

You Can Think About Yogurt Parfait Schlopp
As for me, I couldn’t resist the You Can Think About Yogurt Parfait Schlopp. This delightful dish consisted of beautiful layers of coconut jello, granola, and fresh yogurt. It was both refreshing and satisfying—a perfect way to start the day.
Worth Every Penny
Although this special breakfast isn’t included in the standard cruise fare, it’s well worth the extra cost. Adults are priced at $15 each, and children at $10 each. Considering the quality and creativity of the food, plus the enchanting experience, it’s a small price to pay for such a memorable meal. This breakfast is available on many Carnival ships, so be sure to check if it’s offered on your next cruise.
