THIRD Dinner Seating?

[toesockrock]

Anyone hear of this? We always have the second seating time -- around 8PM (it's been so long -- two years! -- that I can't remember exactly when we ate dinner), but now it's saying something about a third seating when my mom logged in to get the cruise documents. I remember booking the cruise and specifically asking for the "late seating," but what's this about a third one? I thought there were only two!

 

If it makes any difference, we'll be on the Miracle out of New York, on July 30th.

If i'm not mistake there are "two early" seatings and then "two late" seatings depending on the vessel your on.

[toesockrock]

Perhaps, but I've been on the Miracle before (and the Legend on our upcoming itinerary). But thank you for letting me know. Maybe it's different, now.

Miracle is only one dining room (spirit class).....so only 2 dining times.....third seating would be pizza on the lido at Midnight LOL

[kelz66]

there are two seatings in each of the two dining dooms and they are staggered. (6:00 and 6:30 early -8:00 and 8:30 late)

That's what I thought! Maybe it's still staggered in just the one dining room? (But then I have to eat dinner and in the middle of it, watch people file in for *their* dinner? Ew.)

No, each of the dining rooms start at different times - one at 6:00 and the other at 6:30 - first seating one at 8:00 and the other at 8:30.

[toesockrock]

Miracle has one dining room, though. Unless you mean the upper and lower levels...?

The Miracle and the other 3 Spirit class only have 1 aft dining room........there are only 2 dining times.

Upper and lower have the same start time.

[Ehpride]

The Miracle only has one dining room so there is an early and a late seating. I think there's a glitch in the documents.

I am on the Legend next Sunday and I also received my tickets which state Third Seating for the late seating in the dining room.

[Knights on the Beach]

We had "third" seating on Triumph @ 8:00 p.m., but since Spirit class ships only have one dining room, who knows what you have! :p

[toesockrock]

Maybe it means we're eating at Nick and Nora's, because they have just too many people in the dining room. :)

Since most of the Carnival ships have 2 dining rooms, and 2 seatings in each dining room, I think it has become easier for them to label 6:00 as first seating, 6:30 as second seating, 8:00 as third seating and 8:30 as fourth seating. Therefore, even though the Spirit class has only 1 dining room and 2 seatings, they would be labeled by Carnival as first and third seating. From a computer programming standpoint, it would make sense.

[Eliot Ness]

The electronic docs for our upcoming Legend cruise also show us as having the Third Dinner Seating. Our PVP put in a request for late dining so I figure, like bthorn1108 mentioned above, that's just the way the computer handles the request.

Just returned from the Miracle. We had late seating which is at 8:15. I think the early seating was as 6:15. That's it--two seating times only.

[big_duck]

For E-Docs the seatings are:

 

5:45 - 1st Seating

6:15 - 2nd Seating

8:00 - 3rd Seating

8:30 - 4th Seating.

 

It looks like some IT wizard has decided that the first late seating will be 3rd Seating regardless the number of dining rooms on the ship and how confusing it is to customers. :rolleyes:

Can someone explain to me where you can see your dinner seating on the carnival.com website... I just logged in and can't find anywhere where it states what dinner seating I'm at... help would be great, thanks!

If you booked with Carnival it is available on the Modify Booking page, else you have to go into e-docs.

 

Please note it shows time requested, not assigned.

If other cruiselines can confirm dining room assignments, why can't Carnival? I booked a cruise over a year in advance and requested the 2nd seating and got the 4th!:eek: I did not like finishing dinner at 10:30pm. I asked to change and wasn't accomodated but others who got on the ship later did! :o
