Guests may choose from three different dinner seating options.By popular request, all dining rooms are smoke-free.
Assigned Seating - Early Dining and Late Dining
This dining option offers guests a pre-set dining time for the duration of the cruise as well as the same table assignment each evening in the Main Dining Room. Guests who choose this option will not be able to reserve 'Your Time' open seating once on board.
'Your Time'Open Seating Dining
'Your Time' open seating is offered fleet wide. Guests are seated on a first come, first served basis depending on party size and are able to request a specific waiter. Pagers are provided if there is a modest wait time so guests may relax elsewhere on the ship until their table is ready; in most cases, guests are accommodated within 20 minutes. Advance table reservations are not accepted, and all guests must be present before the party is seated.
Guests may choose:
Splendor:Early dining at 5:15pm, Late dining at 7:45pm or 'Your Time' open seating, between 5:00pm and 8:30pm.
Luminosa:Early dining at 5:15pm, Late dining at 7:30pm or 'Your Time' open seating, between 5:00pm and 8:30pm.
Our recently migrated ships, Carnival Adventure (AQ) and Carnival Encounter (EQ), do not support Your Time Dining (YTD) as a dining option.
Dining times are subject to change due to conflict of time with port stays or other scheduled activities. Accurate times are listed in the daily 'Fun Times'.
At time of booking, guests will be able to confirm their preferred dining choice. If their preference is not available, they may confirm an alternate time and be waitlisted for their preferred choice - there is no guarantee a waitlist will clear. When possible, waitlists will be cleared prior to the sailing and guests will be notified by email. Parties traveling together who are waitlisted together will be cleared on the same dining time.
Cross-referencing bookings does not guarantee parties will be eating together. They must be confirmed on the same dining time to ensure they will be able to dine together.
For those guests who choose Early or Late dining, the assigned dining room and table number will be printed on the guests' Sail & Sign® card which they receive when they check-in on embarkation day.
In addition, guests may opt for casual bistro dining in the Lido Deck Restaurant or dinner in the elegant Fahrenheit 555 serving fine quality prime steaks and other dishes in an intimate, upscale atmosphere or enjoy the dining experience offered atThe Chef's Table.Please note, specialty dining options have an additional charge.
Parties greater than 8 guests may need to be accommodated at several tables and the wait can sometimes be more than one hour. We highly suggest that parties of 8 or more guests choose an assigned seating (6:00pm or 8:15pm) to assure sitting together at one table or several tables close together.
NOTE: Menu items (excluding Steakhouse Selections) are complimentary in the main dining room. Guests can order a second entrée and keep in mind they can also request half portions if something looks too enticing to pass up. If a third entrée is ordered, a $7 AUDcharge will be assessed.
