mompells Posted May 10, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2019 On the Sunrise can you make your "Your Time" dining reservation on the Hub App? Will the app then notify us when our table is ready? I know this works on some of the other Carnival ships, but wondering if it is up and running on the Sunrise? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imescaping Posted May 10, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I would be interested in this information for Carnival Inspiration. I loathe anytime dining and think being able to reserve through the app may make it more tolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog73 Posted May 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I think the dining reservations refers to the for pay restaurants (Italian, Asian, BBQ, etc). They actually started using the Hub App to check in for YTD and it worked great. No more waiting in line. I will never do set time dining again. Always felt rushed and missed activities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To reiterate what Moondog said, with YTD you are not making a "reservation," you are checking in just as you would if you were at the desk. The only difference is that the app will alert you when your table is ready without you have to physically walk to the desk to check in. In-app reservations are for specialty dining venues. I can't wait to try the HUB app check in on my next cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpoollovely Posted May 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I would love to know this also I have never heard of checking in with the hub app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted May 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 10, 2019 We were just on the Vista 2 weeks ago and used the App. You are basically "requesting a table" which is checking in. Once it assigns you a table, it sends on the App a notice and you have 10 minutes to arrive at the restaurant to the desk. So, you must be dressed and ready to go. We found that by the time we did this, and then left our room and walked to the dining room, we would get the notice and Table number. You then just show your phone to the hostess, they read the table number and off you go with a waiter just like normal. No standing around in the hallway waiting. However.... we did see lots of people who still showed up at dining room without doing this, standing around. Also it says RIGHT ON YOUR S&S CARD - go to check in at the desk on Deck 4 by Pixels studio. You are not supposed to go to dining room like every other ship... you have to check in first. Its easier just to use the App, we found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on the Sunrise now and love the app. As stated, you need to be prepared to be there in the 10 minutes once you get your Table Ready notification 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All great if you can book well in advance, unfortunately, I usually book close in. Often YTD is all that is available. Trust me I am only relegated to it, I do not choose it.

erikaem86 Posted May 20, 2019 #17 Share Posted May 20, 2019 This is a cool new feature. It didn't exist 12 months ago when I was on the Sunrise, or at at least I wasn't aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, are you able to make requests via the app (specific dining team, table size)? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the App you check in how many people you have, and then request table. It does not ask table size or area in room. You have exactly 10 minutes to arrive and claim the table or it cancels. So you need to be dressed and walking that way before you do the App. If you want to request a certain area of dining room, dining team, you can't use the App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mizLORInj Posted May 29, 2019 #21 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Don't worry--we were on Sunrise just over the weekend and forgot about the app for YourTime dining! 😆We used it to check our account, FunTimes info, etc. But for dinner we walked up to the desk on deck 5, after the few people in line we got our table right away and went to dinner. This was around 6pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gocincy Posted May 27, 2022 #23 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I have a Question, in regard to this feature. What if you are sailing with family or friends, that amount to more than 1 cabin, but you all want to sit together? Is there a way to check in more than 1 cabin, with the app, or is that done in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as the team has a table open, they will move you. I requested a server on my first night on the Magic this week. By the second or third night they just assigned me to his team automatically and I was with him the rest of the cruise. Editing to answer the more recent post- I didn't need to do this but I think on the carnival site you can link your other cabins for dining. When I checked in on the app, it allowed me to check in everyone or just some of my room- I don't recall if you could check in other rooms. It does say for parties larger then 10 you have to go to the desk. Edited May 27, 2022 by pohlerbear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
