Hi there. Please excuse me for posting on here but I was wondering if there was anyone looking for some FE gifts. I was told about and have a GREAT one but it requires a bulk order. I am on the cruise prior to this one and we will be in Vancouver the whole day you are leaving. If you are interested in something somewhat inexpensive yet really cool please PM me. I hope you all have an amazing trip.

Read today that the Wonder is getting the same bedding that is on the Dream. This will keep us nice and warm in Alaska!!!

Is the time for each excursion on the DCL website?

No, just the length. But if you have a group of particular excursions you'd like to get info, you could post them and the Gold and Platinum CC members can look them up for you. There is also a thread on the main board that lists the times for the excursions but these are for the early sailings in May which differ somewhat from the times for our cruise, mainly at Ketchikan.

I am gold now. Should I be able to find excursion times?

Yes,
If you enter your reservation number and name, you should bring up a screen that has a set of tabs on the left of the screen. Click on the cruise plans tab. This will bring up a screen where about 2/3 down you see a another set of tabs that says reserve activities. One of the tabs is for excursions. Click on it, the times are listed there.

Thanks!! Last time I checked there were no times--do they show up after you pay in full?

You have to be paid in full to book excursions.

I meant that this cruise will be my last cruise as a silver castaway cay member. Once I complete this Alaska cruise - I will be "gold"!

Looking forward to the cruise!

Day 2 (at sea)is formal night

Day 5 (Juneau) is Pirate night

Day 6 (Ketchikan) is semi-formal night

Ketchikan should be interesting. Several of the excursions get back too late for the main seating. We tried to book Palo that night and could not do it till late since the DCL system won't allow bookings within two hours of when we were scheduled to get back (at 6:15). I assume DCL will think of something to accomodate people that evening.

Where do we find this information? Is it on DCL website too? I am not there often enough to figure it out before they change it I guess.
Thanks in advance for the tutorial.

I knew we have to be paid in full to book, but when I was making a wish list I did not see times so was not sure what would mesh. If times for excursions only show up after you are paid in full, that would explain it. Or, if I was looking when the cruise was so newly posted that they did not have times up, that would be a other explanation.

Anyone know if we will have a Mickey's Island Jam?

I am home now, answered before from my i-phone.

I did as you said and all I can find is the duration of the excursion, not the start time. We were trying to see if we could do two excursions on one day so would need to know when each leaves to figure out if we will be back from one in time to go on the other.

I looked on the DIS Board and cannot find any threads about the start times of excursions. Can you provide a link?

Thanks for your help.

If you are not paid off, you can't open the booking tab which has the start times. If you can send me the list of excursions you are interested in, I could look up the times for you. I don't think DCL will let you pre-book two excursions through them for the same day. Sometimes they let you do that once you are on board. They also seem to be pretty strict on times since I could not book Palo within two hours of returning from an excursion.
