Should be every night and the timing would be towards the end of the 2 assigned dining seatings (not sure exactly what time though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted March 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We had the anytime dining on the Fantasy last week and saw the waiters perform three out of five nights. Fortunately we missed their other two performances. I've never been a fan of singing and dancing waiters. And with anytime dining, it really seemed to mess up the meal--having to wait for them to do their number before we got served our next course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww, you mean they don't do it at all during the first seating? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both traditional dining times have the waiters dancing toward the end of their dining time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, for the info, I know my kids would love seeing this, tacky as some may say , but I love it!! Seen it when it was just the hubby and I on our last cruise and yes forgot they did this! WOOHOO, get to see this soon, 29 more days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time yourself to be in the dining room about that time and you will get to be subjected to their forced antics. If you are lucky you will time things to miss them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tncap Posted March 13, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Also, if dining on the upper level of the Legend, don't ask for a table by the window as you will see very little of their dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted March 13, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We had the upper level for anytime dining- not many waiters do the dancing. it is more festive in the traditional dining room as the waiters get their people at their assigned tables to get up and dance. If you go before 7:30 you will surely see it. But your table service will be put off for a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I am reading this correctly around 7:15 (for the 6pm seating) & again around 9:15 (for the 8pm seating)-correct? We are first timers on Carnival and we have Anytime dining so we would like to be able to say we did get to see the dancing waiters- at least once.

As a matter of fact it is something I have missed since I strayed away from Carnival to other lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WALLYCBIA Posted March 14, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 14, 2012 We went on NCL one time and we came back because we REALLY enjoy this. Some of our waiters seemed very shy then you the other side of then. I told my DW this is one of the high lites of the cruise for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisBott Posted March 10, 2019 #15 Share Posted March 10, 2019 It’s one of my favorite things! And we have been on our share of cruises. It’s fun! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted March 10, 2019 #16 Share Posted March 10, 2019 When in the dining room, I've looked around to see how many people are absolutely hating their life, as these boards frequently point out. Most people appear to be having a good time. I think the angry people are up in the lido buffet, cursing the waitstaff dance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsglow Posted March 10, 2019 #17 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Around 7 and 9 pm. And we still enjoy it. One of the fun things about Carnival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too did that for the first time on our last cruise, I'm normally shy about doing stuff like that, but I remember that I will probably never see these people again and life's too short to not just cut loose every now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maraprince Posted March 10, 2019 #19 Share Posted March 10, 2019 By comparison, with NCL it seems that something is missing! Dinner is just plain old dinner with NCL. Love Carnival's dancing waiters. It is fun to see people of all ages joining it, even those who remain at their tables and not dancing. You are on vacation to enjoy yourself and as it has been said, you will never see these people again. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy! MARAPRINCE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that this is a seven year old post and things change. We just got off the Horizon and they only danced two or three times on an 8 day cruise.
