We did Visions of the Seas in May & found both the MDR & MTD were a mess. Long lines at both from 5-8. It felt like some ppl were using the MDR as a MTD & were up to 30 min. late getting to their table. We were told if you book MTD you must pay your gratuities in advance. We were very surprised how much the dining experience had changed since our previous cruise in Jan. Large crowds, fewer waiters & fewer meal choices made the dining experience pretty horrible. RCCL seems to want ppl to buy the dining "specialty" package but the food wasn't any better in those restaurants. I have also been told that the smaller ships are really showing a lack of service b/c Royal needs more employees on the bigger ships. 😔
