"10/23/2010 Seven Days of Magic Sailing to the Saints Looking for Serenity Now!"

[sirena]

I logged all the way out, even closed the page, went back, signed on, still says 76 days...

But, as you observed, no brunch available.

Well, I guess that's that. All I wanted was brunch....will have to wait until we get there.

Hi All!! I am trying to book ressies for Palo brunch - all booked All the excursions we even considered are also booked I know Disney's websites are not on EST so I waited until 12 pst, finally said 75 days. Oh well, maybe when we get onboard.

Sorry for not posting, been super busy, but I have been keeping up with the post. We do have MNSSHP tix (and BBB and Pirate League that day). Somehow we were able to get the Dessert Party reservations and Le Cellier ADRs. Dave I will think of you that night I moved our hotel reservations to Boardwalk Villas so we would be closer to the parks. End of August I will be going into full planning mode for the cruise.

Hubby and I are already thinking about which cruise to book on board. We are thinking Alaska or Mexico probably for 2012. Lois - we will be looking for the 2012 dates as well. Brenda - great advice on the dummy booking date.

Happy 75 days all!

Sandy

For those trying to book activities that seem unavailable: Keep trying. Check on a daily basis - on line. You never know when someone is going to change their mind and make a change. You might want to let DCL know by phone what you want if enough people say "I want this" they may look to set up a second group with the provider if it is an excusion. Then once on board Try yet again.

Also look at other activities because there are times when a door was closed for me so I made a different choice only to discover that it was the better one all along.

I am keeping a list of everyones booked activities if you want to be added to the list please PM me your list. Included the date - what you haved book and the time if you desire. The list can be found on page 118 of this thread.

Logged in this morning, finally said 75 days, no brunch, no Tea....oh well

I just checked and there are brunch reservations available for parties of 1-2. Good luck!

 

[JanDave]

I was wondering if any one knew if the 2012 dates will be out for booking during this cruise?

I am really hopping that they will be since we are cruiseing the end of the month.

Lois, I'm guessing the 2012 dates will be out, but we may not be able to book at the time we are cruising. That's happened on several of our fall DCL cruises.

Like I said just keep checking back and rechecking. This is where being OCD really pays off. Good Luck!

Family includes:

DH = Mark
DW = Amy
DD = Eryn

Can't Wait!

Hi, you all, and Welcome Aboard. Glad that you all are joining us. I will add you to our main cruise post on page one. If you are interested in the FE exchange, the only other thing that I will need is your room number.

Well, again, Welcome Aboard.

I don't like that as I am not planning on cruising until 2013 and that would mean I would only have to move my dates once if I can bookj 2012.

I do have a better chance as I am doing the Back to Back so I will have until 11-5 to book. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will be opened for booking before I have to be forced off the ship.

 

[JanDave]

We received our cabin number last weekend after being gty since we booked. Unfortunately we didn't receive any upgrades. We are still in a cat 7.

Dave, thanks for the heads up about your GTY status. Carla and I are GTY and I checked the DCL website Saturday afternoon, and we were still GTY status.

I'm assuming there will not be many upgrades (complementary or otherwise) as the ship is going to be at almost full capacity.

Thank you for the welcome!! Our families (Jjetmcg and Vinne73) are cruisin' buddies and we are both busy planning our door designs and FE exchanges... we are super excited!

And I agree that the cruise is not close enough

 

[JanDave]

I really would have thought they'd reserve some seating for people who cant book quite as early as others and was hoping to get one of those..i guess not

John, don't give up on reservations for Palo. On the day we board, go to RockinBarD at 1pm and Palo CMs are there to take reservations. If for some reason you don't get a reservation, ask to be put on the wait list.

We definetly plan to keep trying.

Hey, want to know if anyone knows the answer to this. We have Palo ressies for Priate Night. I want to wear a pirate costume that night. Will I be able to wear it to Palo? My DH may wear one as well.

Hi Brenda!

We went to Palo on Pirate Night on our last cruise and no one was dressed in pirate costumes....sorry. Everyone is pretty dressed up and I think you may feel out of place. You could easily go back to your room after dinner and change into your costume or try to change your Palo dinner to a different night once onboard. The Pirate night dinner in the rotational restaurants is really kind of fun!

Oh, I don't mind. I was just wondering. Yes, the pirate night in the restaurants are really fun. I may change the Palo ressie. But don't know for sure. Thanks for helping me out.

Nada.

The only time that I see as of this moment for brunch is on Day 6, at 11:30.

I'm not trying to be funny or anything, but you have been having problems with reservations. Have you paid your cruise in full? That's the only reason I can see why you would be having so many problems booking. Just thought I'd asked. Keep trying if you have PIF or else give DCL a call to see if there isn't something else that is wrong. Good Luck.
