MTD -> TD help.

[EmilyJay]

Hi, hoping someone can shed some light on this... 

 

Booked a cruise (woohoo) and chose MTD, always done it and love it. However, the times are not what they used to be and on our specific cruise MTD doesn't start til 7pm which for us is a little late/ clashes with some shows.

I e-mailed RCL dining and asked to change to TD (we don't have a TA, we did a DIY jobby) and the response I got was explaining how MTD dining works and you can't reserve a table prior to sailing ... Which isn't the response I was expecting nor a reply to the question I asked. 

 

Is e-mailing the right way to go about swapping, I'm sure I've read on here you can do that? Or will I need to wait it out until we board and go to the dining room then and hope there is space to swap? 

 

Thanks all.

ALL SORTED.

 

As I submitted this, I then checked my e-mail to find 4 different e-mails from RCI and they've changed us to TD 😄

Just got off Adventure 5 day to Bermuda this morning. Always sail with TD 530. Times now for early TD 5-530pm. Told by our waiter on first night that if not there by 515 we could lose the table!! And other tables came in whenever they pleased. We were also rushed to make our dinner selections. Not happy! We are Diamond plus and never had this experience. Was told that table could be used for MTD. That said we did see a lot of people reserving MTD for the remainder of the week.. That’s not what MTD means.

We were on the Adventure in May with family.  We found dining services and food poor.  No more AOS for us.

There were lines however there were 900 kids on this cruise. We did not know kids sailed free and thought week before school would be ok. You won’t have a problem.
