This question is specifically for anyone who has been on the ship recently. I tried to scrounge up the answer and it seems that it changes as CARNY "experiments"...We cruise NCL...a lot..but we decided for an assortment of reasons to give CARNY a shot...haven't been on one of theirs in years. (mebbe 8?+) ..
We prefer "anytime dining" or "your time dining" or whatever its called lately. We generally eat very early, so we can catch the early show and then head for a bar or late snack. On NCL, and given our status, getting a table, even a window table, is normal. No wait, no line, no fuss. And yes, we always get a table for two.... I understand that on VISTA, one dining room is used for "your time dining". True? (not that I care, all the MDRS serve the same food..) But I read somewhere that theres a "process", involving some kind of "pink slip"....or not..which you have to get in another location??....its a short enough cruise, and some nites we'll do specialties, but man I hate bureaucratic nonsense, especially when I don't expect it or understand it.
So if some kind soul who has sailed her recently, AND I guess actually done "YOUR TIME DINING" (preferably with a table for two)...would explain it, I would be more than happy to buy all kinds of refreshments next time around!!!
By the way, don't be put off by the auditorium, unless they have done something, it is horrible and not like most of the Carnival fleet. Rumor has it they plan to continue this way on the new builds, but with all the passenger complaints I hope not.
