I am amazed that many seem not to realize that Princess, beginning early this century, Initiated the process of totally eliminating TD which came to fruition with the advent of DMW. In their minds eye, they have come to the probably correct conclusion that the advocates of TD are of an age that fading in numbers. They believe that the new generation of cruisers that they desire to attract are not attracted to being forced to have dinner at the same time each and every night with strangers. One of the main objections to cruising that my daughters and their generation have to cruising is "regimentation" which exactly what TD represents, they are also horrified by the prospect of formal nights. In an attempt to remain competitive and to attract younger cruisers they instituted DMW.
