Hey cruise experts! I need help--booking ship activities tomorrow!

[ArizonaMom]

Hi, all cruise veterans! I need all your expert tips on booking spa reservations, Palo, etc., on my upcoming cruise! I am a cruise newbie. My first cruise is in February, and the first day I can schedule activities is tomorrow, Nov 24. Does this mean 12:01am on Nov 24? Do you usually do this online? What tips do you have for getting what you want? What should I prioritize first, Palo or spa? What do you do if the website is busy, keep refreshing the page or click out and login again? Any help is very much appreciated!!!!

Midnight 00;00 that minute makes a difference.

Log in to DCL site first.
Log into reservation at 00:00 internet time EST.
Palo brunch first,
Any Dolphins activities first.

Spa later.

Remember you must 'confirm' twice, ie you select BRUNCH, at 10.30am, it then goes to unconfirmed, so Confirm again.

That was a great reminder for a newbie! Also, if I'm remembering correctly and things haven't changed, brunch is on the sea days. That means no brunch on 3 day cruises.

A spa treatment is a good way to break up a day at sea.
Good luck--and remember to CONFIRM any reservations by clicking the button a second time.

Thanks so much, guys!! Wish me luck!!

good luck!

Palo first, then excursions.

Remember that if you don't get what you want for Palo, they do save a considerable amount of Palo ressies for on-board booking. Just look for the place and time they will be taking ressies when you board the ship. It is usually around 2 pm or so in RockinD.
