*VIDEO*Carnival’s “Chipotle of the Seas”: Blue Iguana Review

Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to sail on the Carnival Legend, where I re-discovered my favorite spot for Mexican food on the high seas: the Blue Iguana Cantina. It quickly became my go-to for breakfast and lunch, earning it the nickname “Chipotle of the Seas” in my book. From the vibrant atmosphere to the mouthwatering food, this place is a gem.

Starting My Day the Spicy Way

Mornings on the Carnival Legend were anything but ordinary, thanks to the Blue Iguana Cantina. On days when the Sea Day Brunch didn’t call my name, I made a beeline for what I consider the breakfast champions: the breakfast burritos. Imagine walking up to the counter and being greeted by chefs ready to whip up something magical. My go-to? A hefty burrito filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, and a choice between chicken, sausage and ham. But here’s the kicker: I love my food with a bit of a kick, so I always ask for an extra helping of jalapeños. It’s the perfect wake-up call.

After receiving my order, I’d head over to this treasure trove of toppings and sauces. Here’s where the magic happens. The choices are endless: salsas of varying heats, queso, sour cream, fresh corn, a variety of relishes, and more. Each addition allows for a new level of customization, making every bite uniquely mine.

Now, you might find customizable breakfast options at places like Chipotle back on land, but there’s something about enjoying that fiery breakfast burrito while the ocean breeze hits you. It’s an experience that simply can’t be matched.

Lunchtime: Burritos, Tacos, and the Magic of Customization

As the day sails on, lunch at the Blue Iguana becomes the highlight. Following the breakfast act isn’t easy, but lunch here does more than just that—it steals the show. Whether I opted for a chicken or beef burrito, packed with black beans, rice, and all the toppings, the chefs at Blue Iguana crafted each order with precision and care.

And yes, for something lighter yet equally satisfying, their tacos serve as the perfect ‘dessert’ to my savory feast.

The Chipotle of the Seas: A Fitting Moniker

Calling Blue Iguana the “Chipotle of the Seas” might seem humorous at first, but it’s a title well-earned. The ability to customize your meal, the freshness of the ingredients, and the sheer joy of enjoying these creations while cruising—there’s nothing quite like it. The added bonus of selecting my accompaniments post-preparation makes each visit exciting. You get to play chef, adding the final touches to your masterpiece.

So, if you find yourself aboard the Carnival Legend, or any Carnival ship boasting a Blue Iguana Cantina, make sure to stop by. Whether you’re a fan of starting your day with a bit of spice or you’re looking for the perfect lunch to fuel your adventures, Blue Iguana has you covered. And don’t forget to explore the accompaniments—it’s where the real customization begins. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
