grantbob Posted October 15, 2022 #1026 Share Posted October 15, 2022 YTD wait times were really bad last month on the Ecstasy. One night we waited an hour and a half to be seated. I thought that maybe since it was a Journeys cruise with lots of Platinums and Diamonds that might have been the reason but maybe it's a new trend, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cut the 5:30 set time allotment in half, do away with second seating and that frees up the dining room and galley to be more reactive to orders than just blanket pushing out stuff at two set times? Spitballing here I have no problem with adjusting/changing assigned dining times and honestly don’t have a strong preference as to exactly what the assigned time is. I understand meeting the preferences if the majority and that definitely seems to be trending to YTD. I just hope the keep some form if assigned dining. That is one of the main reasons we choose Carnival over certain other lines that don’t offer it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had everyone ready to go and then they had to wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the longest we waited was 20? I honestly wish we could pre-pay for specialty dining and then book it day of like YTD (Chef’s Table being the exception) because I hate missing shows, comedians, etc. And everything can change slightly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when my kids were younger that would have been stressful. No problem at home but too many other things they wanted to do on a cruise😂. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they were allowing walk ups to request tables before they opened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwest898 Posted October 15, 2022 #1043 Share Posted October 15, 2022 When we were on the Spirit in April the longest ytd was 80 minutes. Our friends always were able to get right in and said it actually starts a couple of minutes earlier than the original request time. So for example at 5:18 I was able to request a table as opposed to 5:20. When I did that it was only about a 5-10 minute wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
