Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival's new Express Dining is not a specialty restaurant and it's not a buffet shortcut.

With Express Dining, Carnival is aiming to get parties of about six or fewer through a full dinner, appetizer, main course, and dessert in roughly 45 to 60 minutes.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use Express Dining strategically on show nights or port-heavy days.

✓Check in early for an 8:00 p.m. show to avoid stress.

✓Communicate with your server about your time needs.

✓Mix and match Express Dining with traditional dining as needed.
