VERY disappointed. We asked for and were told that we would have the 5:45 PM dining. Arrived and got our Gold card and we had the 8:00 PM dining. Husband is diabetic - has to eat at scheduled times - 8:00 PM WAY to late. Asked at Purser&#39;s desk - told to go to Maitre D - went and were told that there was NO way we could have early dining - it was full. I explained; but, were told that it was not possible. We NEVER used the great dining room - we&#39;ve always used them before. VERY big disappointment as we enjoy the dining experience. They&#39;re great. We ended up eating on the Lido deck for every meal. Why bother making or requesting a certain dining time and end up getting stuck wherever we get stuck? Even with problems?? Very big disappointment on this cruise. Lido restaurant was not what I would call the good dining experience of the dining rooms.
