"Waitlisted" Dining Time

First, let me say that I know that a dining time is only a request. Ours was for the late seating and always showed as that on the reservation. When I looked at it today, it says "waitlisted". Does this mean they did assign the times and we didn't get it? Or are they just using a new term for "request"?

I think they're just adding waitlist to all the requests because we're Platinum and have confirmed dining time and our docs for tomorrow's cruise say waitlisted also. For those that are not Platinum I think it just emphasizes that it is just a request.

I just received mine docs in the mail yesterday and it says Requested-Late seating 8:15

I just looked at my reservation and it also says "waitlisted".

And the option of Open Dining was just added. All three options say "waitlisted".

This is something that has been happening to all cruisers. There are at least 2 other threads about this subject if you want to read more about it.....right now they are all 3 on the first page so should be pretty easy to find. :)

Here is the most active of the 3 "waitlist" threads:

Sounds like this is something new Carnival is doing, and everyone is now shown as "waitlisted".

Thanks all! I saw the other threads too, so I guess my question wasn't so dumb after all. Let's hope they resolve the glitch soon!

I'm glad that it really doesn't matter when we eat as long as they don't run out of food.

My reservation too has Waitlisted on it.
