Dining time question

We have booked our 2nd cruise and the early dining was full so we chose anytime dining. On our first cruise I know you had to be done by a certain time so they could prepare for the late dining. What if we are there and not finished eating, are they going to hurry us out? Loved the main dining room but don't want to be hurried. Anyone have experience with the anytime dining on Carnival?

Anytime dining is our preferred dining, unless we are with a large group of people! We like to eat early, but dislike being rushed. You might find you like this better than assigned dining. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Cruise lines have two set dining times. This means if you arrive on time for either of those seatings then there will be rushing of dinner. If you are in a habit due to one reason or another of always arriving late then anytime dining is the choice for you for you sit and rise on your time.

Anytime is like a restaurant at home, go in when you want, stay and enjoy dinner. You can get a table to yourself or share a larger table.
