shell55 Posted December 31, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I recently found out that MTD now starts at 6:45 instead of 6:00. Anyone know why they changed this? Does not make since to me. I would think for social distancing that they would be using the extra time slots not lessening them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly they have too many scheduled for early dining and need the dining rooms to be cleared for MTD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty only uses one room for early and late and in between squeezes in anytime. Stinks to me. I didnt realize how limited it was until I got onboard. Usually ate in WJ so didnt want a set time. The other room upstairs was for unvaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to reserve 6:00 PM for MTD every night for both legs in my CP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been changed to TD? Call RC or if you booked with a TA have them call RC and find out why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted January 1, 2022 #9 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Traditional dining starts at 5:30 guess they are trying to limit the number of people in mdr as we keep hearing how packed the mdr is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have kids or otherwise unvaccinated people in your party? MTD can only be reserved for vaccinated guests because of where they seat people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For our cruise I found using the app very handy, especially on nights I'd booked specialty dining and wanted to cancel MTD. Hope it works out favorably for you.

No kidding. That's nothing new. I even posted that. My order history still shows 6:00 PM for each night for both legs. Like always once onboard we'll head to the MDR for MTD seating and pick out our table and verify our MTD reservation dining times.
