Waiters singing/dancing question...

[AandBmom]

Last year we did anytime dining on the Imagination. We always went to the dining room right when it opened as this timing seemed to work best for our kids. We never saw the singing/dancing waiter show. The year prior we were on the Legend and saw the antics every night. The Maitre D' Yossuf always started with, "It's Showtime". Yossuf was on the Imagination when we were on it, but we never heard him speak. Can someone please tell me, did we just miss him doing this because we were so early dining or do they not do it during anytime dining? Also, we're going on the Sensation in April and I'm wondering what to expect with the dining antics? I think my kids would love it so I don't want to miss it.

During Early Dining they usually say " It's Showtime " around 7:20 but i think that is heads up to the waiters to start getting ready. It was around 7:30 when they actually started the singing and dancing. Maybe you were already done eating and gone when they started.

I was wondering this because we never saw any singing and dancing in our early seating but if it was that much after the meal started we were never around long enough...the three little ones would have either been asleep at the table or pleading to go to their clubs by 7. I'll hav to remember to stay longer next time.

Another reason I love Anytime Dining, you see less of the dancing waiters.

I hate the waiter show. I think it is degrading for them. But to each his own.

"Anytime dining" is not in a dining room of its own, so if you time it right, you will see the show. However, it's timed for the early dining. We have done anytime dining before and would stick around for the showtime, which was usually between 7:10 and 7:20.

 

We've had Yossef before too!! I loved how he said his name.

And the "showtime in the dining room"....its across the fleet!

I'm not a huge fan of it either but "degrading"? Give me a break :rolleyes:.

Degrading for them? How about just annoying for me?:)

[AandBmom]

I find it entertaining and uplifting. I know my kids will love it. We'll have to try to head to dinner a little later than usual to catch the "show".

I miss it when I am not on Carnival. I think it's fun.

I am glad to here this, as I do not care for it at all. It is very annoying to me.

 

JMO.

It's better than the "twirling the dirty napkin over your head" song.:D

Yes, and yes.

 

I find it very annoying. Not just the singing and dancing waitors, but the loud, crackly music played through inadequate speakers.

We loved it...and the 1st night we didnt know what time so our Waiter informed us since we did "Anytime Dining" that it was between 7:15 and 7:30 so we knew to get there around 6:40-6:45 which is our usual time at home and we got to see the show...The Kids loved it too Certainly not annoying we find it very Entertaining...

I heard that on the newer ships that anytime dining is on a different floor of one of the MDR restaurants and those waiters who service that area do not interrupt your meal and continue service when the singing waiters do their thing on the other floor. We were hoping to avoid it with the choice of anytime dining.

I don't care for the singing & dancing either. I think it takes away from the elegant feeling of the dining room. It would be great if they just did it on the last night as a farewell. Just my opinion.

They don't and that is all that matters.

 

It's the fun ships after all. The stick in the mud ships are the ones with the big X on the funnel.
