concerns regarding dining times

[gerry48]

hi,

 

we are on our first cruise in february from long beach on splendor.

 

we checked off 6pm dining with waitlist and on our confirmation it shows late 8:15 pm dining. the food is a nice part of the cruise that we look forward to but not the main reason. do they allow you to show up early and wait for a table? Is the food decent at the buffet also or is it worth the late time in dining room? what about port days? would it be easier to return to the ship for an early dinner in puerto vallarta or mazatlan?

Call Carnival at 888-CARNIVAL and ask a CSR to change it for you. You are early enough that it shouldn't be a problem to change to the early seating.

Call back and request anytime dining. You can go to dinner when you wish but you may have to wait a short while for a table.

thanks,will try that.

 

will splendor have anytime dining option in february?

Remember all dining times are a request.. it seems you dd get the later dining.. if you can not change it before hand make sure to see the M'D once you board and see if you can get it changed..

 

I do not know if the Splendor as anytime dining but I would think she does...

KruzKel is right. If you really want traditional dining, early seating (6 P.M.) then go directly to the maitre D when you board, and chances are excellent that they can switch you to early.

I think Carnival Splendor starts your time dining 5/30/10...
