wait list for dinner?

[MISSSNOOPYGIRL]

We requested late dinner for Carnival Sunshine Jan. 19, 2014. We were told we are being put on a wait list? Our extended family of 6 more were told the same thing (we want a table for 8). We always book our cruises at least 4-5 months out and have never been told this before. What exactly does this mean?

we were wait listed as well and a few days later it showed up confirmed under our reservation on the web site

I'm surprised you got wait listed for late dining as it is normally the least popular one, but as the previous poster said it will pop up as "confirmed" online when they confirm it. If it does not become available then they will switch your party to the time they have available. I like late dining as well- we usually eat at home around 8ish so th early dining is way to early. I hope you guys get confirmed- good luck!

We were waitlisted for early

We are waitlisted for early and we booked 8 months before the cruise. If we get the late sitting next time will book for any time sitting.

If you dont get what you want go see the MD the first day.

I think they automatically put everyone except Diamond on the wait list, then see how many Platinum request certain seatings---finally the rest are assigned. As mentioned before, the late seating is almost assured for anyone who requests it.

we were switched over today. Thanks all for your reassurance! I couldn't believe late dining would be "sold out" already;)
