mook1525 Posted July 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Hello! I am getting so excited as I will be onboard Carnival Magic in 2 weeks. I have some food related questions for recent Magic cruisers… 1. Can I order 2 burgers at Guy’s burger? 2. Does Blue Iguana Cantina offer bowl of chips/nachos? Like as a snack? 3. Is Lobster night still a thing? If so, which night on 6 night cruise usually? 4. I saw a news that late night snack will be back on Carnival ships.. does Magic offer it now? 5. I have early time dining at 6pm… my friend booked this cruise very last minute he has “anytime dining”. Is there ANYTHING we can do to have dinner together in main dining room? many thanks in advance!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted July 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2023 1. Yes 2. No 3. Depends on cruise length 4. Not sure 5. Talk to the Maitre D and see what they can do for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted July 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Anytime dining is easy on carnival. Both of you go to the Mdr, push the button and it matched me with a table within 10 minutes while I sat in the waiting area. Then the 2 of you walk up and show the table number. Carnival does this so much better than royal. I've often posted I wish royal would take lessons from carnival on anytime dining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello! sorry to bother you again but what do you mean by “push the button”? do you recommend talking to Maitre D on day 1 as soon as getting onboard?

I love anytime dining. Are you sure you want to give it up? Unless its changed, on vista and breeze when I was ready to eat, I walked down toward the Mdr. The app computer finds you a table. IF you want to eat with strangers, there was a 2nd button you could push and sometimes it finds you strangers to eat with. Sometimes for dinner, it timed out and I was lead to a 2 top to eat alone. I have read where lately some matches took over 10 minutes. But you can sit and listen to music or whatever while you wait for the app to find a table for you. Anytime dining you eat when you want and it's set up as lots of mostly 2 tops. You and you friend might enjoy eating when you want together rather than at a set time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they need to see the Maitre D so the OP can get switched to Anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreguitar Posted July 26, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) I just got off the magic 6 day Sunday and can answer all these for you. 1. Yes 2. No 3. Lobster night is the 2nd elegant night and will fall on night 5. 4. Magic had late night snacks on our cruise. 5. Talk to the maitre d on embarkation day. He’s in the northern lights dining room on floor 3 at 12:30 to later in the day on embarkation day. We had friends that cruised with us who were late dining and got them moved to dine with us with your time. Hope you have as much fun as we did!

brianz09 Posted July 29, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 29, 2023 One of you may need to switch your dining plan. Anytime dining appears to use the Norther Lights MDR (ship forward), while the reserved dining times (Late and Early) use the Southern Lights MDR (ship aft). I haven’t sailed on the MAGIC, but other ships I’ve been on take a similar approach (use different main dining rooms) for the Anytime and Reserved dining groups.

arpie05 Posted August 10, 2023 #11 Share Posted August 10, 2023 5. Have your PVP link the two cruises - and if your friend can get switched to early dining - you will automatically be seated together if they're linked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchell Posted August 11, 2023 #12 Share Posted August 11, 2023 For many of the dining venues onboard if you go to Carnival's website, and pull up the venue, there is a link to a menu for that venue on the right-hand side of the screen below the main picture. This is a direct link to the Blue Iguana Cantina page: https://www.carnival.com/cruise-food/blueiguana-cantina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
