Onboard Booking Policy Extension

[dvcdisney]

Hi!

Is there any way to extend the 24 month policy for Onboard Booking?

Is there a fee that I can pay to allow this?

Thank you for any suggestion or info.

No. 24 months is 24 months.

I was also told it was a hard 24 months. We really need 2 extra weeks for next year. DCL told me "not going to happen."

I think it's already a little longer than 24 months. We just booked a placeholder on board our October 14-22 cruise and our cut of date to cruise by is Oct 28 2018

Well, it's actually a number of days - 730 days(that roughly comes out to 24 months). Scott explains that on his blog:

We've never needed the extension but we last traveled with a cousin of mine that needed a week longer due to a quincenera and they told them that they couldn't even give them a day past, it's a set 24 months and that is that.

I had ours processed the last possible day, July 6, and our cut off date is July 6, 2018. I really wanted to stretch it to July 10 and was told no beans. I'll plead my case when the cruises open up, but I am not expecting success.

I was wrong, I used the calculator in this link and it was way off so I went to look at the reservation email from DCL and it says must travel by October 21, 2018. I booked it on board on October 20 that just passed.
So it is 24 months right on.
Plus one day.

Thanks everyone for your posts. I assumed as much. This never came up until now. I thought I'd ask just in case someone was able to pay a fee to extend their OBB.

Yeah, I don't know why Scott took the trouble to explain the 730 day thing. 730 days is 2 years of 365 days each. So, exactly 24 months.

The 730 days becomes an important clarifying point when a leap-year impacts the 2-yr timeframe (making 731 days in that 2-year period). Someone might feel they are short-changed a day shy of a full 2-years when it's calculated based on 730 days instead of actual dates on the calendar.
