I always prefer Anytime Dining. If that is not available, I would choose Early

I prefer to dine Anytime Dining. Usually we like to dine around 6-6:30. Gloria

I always dine Anytime Dining when available, otherwise it would be early. I dislike dining late. I am afraid that I'll fall asleep at the table, laugh, laugh!

I prefer anytime dining unless I am in a group.

Hi jskay! We’ve found that Carnival’s Your Time Dining – at least on the Fantasy Class ships like Carnival Fascination – is, well, pretty much a sham. They seem to either rush you through or delay you so that you end up more or less on the fixed dining schedule anyway.

And your back-to-back cruise sounds fantastic! Have a great trip!

I've been on more than 20 Carnival cruises most of them on the

Fascination and prefer late dining always. We tried anytime dining one time but going the service and food to be lacking! Late dining has never kept us from doing anything except going to the midnight feeding!! The ship usually coordinates all shows for both early snd late dining. Late dining also keeps you from being rushed in the afternoons! I have a cruise scheduled in August and in Novrmber and am going to add a cruise on August to make a back to back on that one . What's better than 2 5 night cruises back to back?? Nothing !!

I have done late seatings, early seatings and Anytime Dining. I have come to the conclusion that early dining is my preference. Late seatings don't work for me because I'm an early to bed, early to rise guy when cruising. I like to wake early, have cabin service delivered while sitting on my balcony, watch the sun rise and enjoy the view as we arrive into ports. Getting up early also allows me to travel the ship and get some great pics as most of the passengers are still sleeping. The My time/Anytime dining is OK but I have found I enjoy sitting with the same folks everynight and having the same staff serving me.

I prefer the early dinner so I can see the show after dinner. With early dinner you do have to cut some ports short to hit the Diamond member cocktail party before early dinner. I also sleep better when not on a full stomach.

The Surf and Turf is typically on formal night. Sometimes you have to order 2 dinners, 1 surf and 1 turf to get it all.

We prefer late seating, fixed dining – it’s great to have the same server every night so they know what you like. We ask for a large table and usually have good luck meeting new people.
