Ship: Carnival Glory | Sail Date: 01/26/2008 | Destination: > Western Caribbean

This was our 8th cruise. 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'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've always used them before. VERY big disappointment as we enjoy the dining experience. They'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.
