Dining room on Carnival

[paschickling]

I've searched a bit but couldn't find any recent information. We've been on a couple of cruises with Carnival already but we chose your time dining for those cruises. On our cruise in June 2018, I decided to try the assigned dining time. I've read a few different things about the experience itself but I was wondering how you receive the table assignment. Does the cruise line contact you at some point before the cruise? Do we get to give our preferences?

You will select either early or late fixed dining. You will receive your seat assignment when you receive your S&S card. If you are not happy with your seating, you will have to visit the maitre d' on the first day and request a change.

Thank you, unless the people we end up sitting with turn out to be a-holes then I don't think we'll have an issue

Stories like that are what I'm afraid of [emoji15]

Have you asked on the Carnival board, here:

That is where you will find all the Carnival info you will ever need.

99% of the time you will be seated with nice people. The weird/rude/gross ones are few and far between. Most people on a cruise are trying to have a good time and open to being friendly with their table mates. The good news is if you get someone you don't want to dine with, all you have to do is tell the Maitre'd and he will move you to another table.

I firmly believe those who routinely have "nightmare" tablemates are probably the problem themselves! We have NEVER had tablemates that were anything but pleasant...most are downright fun! After all, you're all on vacation, on a cruise...so there's the "common ground" right there.

Do NOT be afraid of tablemates!
