I wholeheartedly agree with the OP. Krista with a "K" is a jewel on our cruise on the Westerdam last month. I only wish I didn't have jet lag that had me in bed by 9 the first week of the cruise!

Congrats on the upgrade! We booked a guaranteed oceanview and got an upgrade to a balcony room on deck 5 (VC). V is for balcony and C is the subcategory. I think the subcategories are mostly location with "A" being midship and most desirable.

My wife and I are going to be on the same sailing. We had a great time on the Westerdam on the December 9 sailing last month to Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. We didn't enjoy the jet lag both ways, but we're back for more. Looking forward to following along!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Sounds like we should just do fixed dining for dinner going forward. It's odd that Carnival gives shared table option for YTD but doesn't let people pick whether they want to share table or not during fixed dining.

My wife and I been on 5 Carnival cruises. We like to chat with others over meals. For three of the cruises we booked YTD and requested shared tables for dinner each time while checking in on the app (25+ times). We were always given our own table (usually a small two person table) and was never given a shared table at dinner. The only time I've had a shared table assigned was at seaday brunch. Is there a point in requesting a shared table at dinner for Your Time Dining? Is the only way to get a shared table for dinner is through fixed dining?

Was the last show different from the one before?

Need to pass the time somehow....

I didn't realize the change from risotto to mashed potatoes until I saw this post. Risotto was better. Both lobster and broccoli were better than expected.

Agree calamari was awful tonight.

Changed from first elegant night to second elegant night in 2022. Same time when $5 surcharge for third entree was added. https://cruiseradio.net/carnival-cruise-increases-steakhouse-prices-moves-lobster-night/

The rope really confused me at first. Didn't know what the ordering process was even though I've been on other Carnival ships before.

Will have to try P&A tomorrow to watch my 49ers!

Pizza was surprisingly good on this cruise! Comes out fast too, much faster than wait times I experienced on Pride and Miracle.

Lobster is tonight, which is second elegant night. Looking at the menu right now for dinner tonight on the ship.

Lobster night in the MDR!
