Since we are now Castaway Gold we can book activities early. Today is the 105 days out from our cruise so I went on-line first thing this morning to make reservations. This is what I found:
So either the Castaway Platinum club members took all the most desirable slots or Castaway Gold people were on-line at midnight last night to book? Either that or DCL blocks out the most desirable slots for the suites?
My only concern or irritation is when people book "just in case" slots knowing they will later cancel the extra slots they took. In other words, say you want to do a Palo brunch but you don't have time to do your cruise planning...so you book brunch on every sea day and then decide later which day you really want and cancel the rest. Same thing for spa treatments.
I bet if they would put even a small cancellation fee on reservations at Palo and the Spa and excursions, that would stop a lot of this.
I also think there ought to be a waiting list for Palo and such so when people do cancel, you can get the slot.
OK, enough whinning for today....never feel sorry for a man who is taking a 12 day DCL cruise.

All of the massage slots on all 4 sea days are booked with the exception of dinner times and late at night.
The first 3 of the 4 sea day brunch slots are completely booked.
