dinner seating time changes?

[mom+3girls]

I am sailing Sept 10 with DDs 17, 12 and 10.
I requested the early seating for dinner but when I checked the DCL wesite we have been assigned the late seating.
Is it very hard to get that changed?
When do you request the change?
thanks

I think most on this board would say, plan on staying with late seating, but go ahead and ask for early the minute you get on the ship.

Early seating seems to be very popular with first time cruisers, late seating more popular with repeat cruisers.

we always have earily seating we small children that could not wait till 8:30pm for dinner. On our last cruise we had late seating and the 4 year old was falling asleep at table one night the 10 year old did not eat at all. It was not good for us at all.

My youngest goes to sleep at 9 or 9:30 every night and I am afraid that she would fall asleep at the table and miss out on the experience.
Did you try and change the time?
