<p>Carnival&rsquo;s classic American steakhouses offered on several ships  continue to be hugely popular with guests.&nbsp; This week, Carnival began a  test, offering some of the most popular selections from its steakhouse  menus in the main dining rooms on three ships that don&rsquo;t feature  steakhouses. &nbsp;&nbsp;The entrees are being offered on the Carnival Paradise,  Carnival Triumph and Carnival Inspiration and carry a fee of $18  each.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;The four steakhouse entrees added to main dining room menus include a  nine-ounce filet mignon, an 18-ounce grilled prime rib chop, broiled  Maine lobster tail, and surf and turf consisting of a half lobster tail  and petite filet mignon. The beef is USDA prime, dry aged, the same  beef&nbsp; that &nbsp;is served in Carnival&rsquo;s steakhouses.</p>
<p>The testing period is expected to run approximately three months  during which time the company will evaluate guest demand for these  specialty menu items.</p>
<p>The new steakhouse entrees complement the line&rsquo;s wide-ranging main  dining room menu choices, which include a flat-iron steak offered  nightly, along with prime rib and broiled Caribbean lobster tail served  every voyage.</p>
<p>Carnival Inspiration currently operates four-&nbsp;and five-day Caribbean  cruises from Tampa, Carnival Triumph four-&nbsp;to seven-day Caribbean  voyages from New Orleans, and Carnival Paradise three- and four-day Baja  departures from Long Beach, Calif.</p>
