Have you ever read the cruise contract with your tickets? They don't guarantee which ship you will be on, or even what ports....if ANY you will go to. So every cruise line makes sure that everyone knows that everything they advertise is subject to change. I gambled on NCL after they went to Freestyle dining. It's a mess, and the person who thought it up ought to be made to walk the plank, but with a little work, you can reserve a set table, with the same servers every night. But it is a little work that you don't have to do on lines without Freestyle.
