Guests may choose from three different dinner seating options. In addition to Early and Late assigned seating, 'Your Time Dining' open seating is available to accommodate individual guest preferences. By popular request, all dining rooms are smoke-free. Please note that dining times may be subject to change. 

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.  Early dining may be scheduled between 5:30pm and 6:00pm and late dining, between 7:45pm and 8:15pm.*

'Your Time Dining' Open Seating
'Your Time Dining' is offered fleet wide. Guests are seated on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on party size, and in most cases, are accommodated within 20 minutes. Guests may request any table size or wait staff. Advance table reservations are not accepted. Your Time Dining is generally offered between 5:00pm and 9:00pm.* 

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 seated 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, time and table number will be printed on the Guest's Sail & Sign card which they will receive on embarkation day.

*Actual times will vary based on ship and itinerary, and will be listed in the daily ‘Fun Times’ and Carnival HUB App.

In addition, guests may opt for casual bistro dining in the Lido Deck Restaurant, a slice of pizza from our Pizzeria or a sandwich at the Carnival Deli. Other dining options include the elegant Steakhouse Restaurants serving fine quality prime steaks and other dishes in an intimate, upscale atmosphere as well as The Chef's Table, Cucina del Capitano, Ji Ji Asian Kitchen, Bonsai Sushi, Bonsai Teppanyaki, Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse|Brewhouse, Emeril’s Bistro at Sea, Rudi’s Seagrill, Chibang and Il Viaggio. Please note, most of these additional dining options do have a nominal fee.
