H82seaUgo Posted October 9, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yet another false rumor. We have confirmed late dining on what will be the newest flagship in the Carnival fleet! being carnival has already stated sunshine will not be a flagship as it does not meet its flagship criteria, i wonder if your other statement is false as well.

emelvee Posted October 9, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yeah, I can't see a refurb (no matter how extensive) being considered a "flagship." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBoss Posted October 9, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Oh, for goodness sake, it's a word. Guess it's a good thing Sunshine wasn't called a "boat". I think the word flagship is quite cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We enjoyed Destiny...I was surprised to hear the extensive renovations it's getting (I didn't think it was bad at all 5 years ago). But I'm sure it'll be nice when it debuts as Sunshine.

howielovescruisin Posted October 9, 2012 #11 Share Posted October 9, 2012 John Heald didn't say it was a rumor. He called it interesting and said he'd check. My feeling is it probably will be Freestyle dining every meal as a trial run to see how it does. What a better ship to try it on, since it's going to have more dining options.

Usually when it's a rumor, he dismisses it right away. His wording was well picked in case he says something he's not supposed to and then gets bashed.

Ever heard "if it ain't broke, don't fix it ?" :rolleyes: I prefer ATD I dont wanna be told when to eat and who to eat with.. Just My 2cents worth.. Dont most ships have 2 dinning rooms? Cant they have one traditional and one ATD? So both can be happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont most ships have 2 dinning rooms? Cant they have one traditional and one ATD? So both can be happy? The new Carnival Sunshine will have a forward lower dining room and an aft upper and lower. I suspect the forward dining room will be Your Time dining and maybe part of the aft. Or maybe they will adjust room cruise to cruise depending on demand. John has also said there ill be refrigerators in all the cabins, but I'll believe that when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcvtmom Posted October 10, 2012 #16 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have confirmed late seating. Why would they do that if it was going to just be Your Time Dining? I sure hope it's just a rumor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stunning new full-service Asian restaurant inspired by the line’s popular Mongolian wok casual eateries that will feature an extensive menu of delicious favorites from the Far East, along with a striking Asian-themed décor (no charge for lunch with a nominal fee for dinner) and even more!

Cant they have one traditional and one ATD? So both can be happy? Not to start another debate, but we prefer traditional dining - it's one of the features that makes cruising unique. We love having the same table and waitstaff each evening. But it's great that most lines now offer a choice - I realize not everyone wants to eat at a set time, or with other people (we request a smaller table whenever possible). I wouldn't want Carnival to go the way of NCL and ONLY offer ATD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never met the man, but guessing that he is pretty busy between his job, blog, and other questions. He may have had the answer earlier, but he does have alot on his plate.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
