Booking Activities

[Princess Merida]

Hello! I'm a silver Castaway Club member. My booking window has opened for the Aug 30th Dream cruise. I have not paid in full because I really don't want to put more money out if we aren't sailing. If I did pay in full today just in order to book some tastings etc. are these things actually available to book? Also, I'm traveling with a large group that has never sailed DCL before so my room is the only one that has silver status. Can I book tastings for 6 people when there are only two adults in my room?

If you have a cruise group page, ask one of the Platinum or Gold members to go on and post what is still available (or what is fully booked).

Do you mean on Facebook? Or are these pages on here? I don’t have Facebook... one of the few lol.

I meant wherever a cruise group may gather. There are cruise groups on this platform. You should search to see if your sailing is on there.

Hi. I was under the impression that you couldn't book anything until your reservation was paid in full. ie. Excursions, tastings, etc.

I think the OP is trying to decide if it's worth paying in full prior to the 60 days - wants to know how many things are booked up already.

I believe you can only book activities for those in your room.

Yes this is correct.

To clarify, are you asking whether someone on the boards who happens to also be going on the Aug 30 sailing can check if there are bookings open before you pay in full? I don't have social media and totally feel you it is nerve-racking not knowing what will be open by the time the window you are assigned to opens!

A non-sequitur, but does anyone know if they are letting people register for port arrival times yet?

I know I cannot book before I pay in full. I’m asking if anyone knows what things have been available to book online. Of course if it’s my specific sailing (August 30th) and someone can see what’s actually still available that would be even better. Really looking to see if they’re offering tastings and which ones on the Dream 4 night cruises.

We are paid in full for a 4 night Dream Cruise sailing Aug 2. I can book Port Adventures, Adult Dining (Palo & Remy), Onboard Fun ( Tastings, etc) & Spa and Fitness. The ability to book tastings, spa treatments, etc, look very similar to how it’s always looked.

My booking window opened last week for my 9/25 Fantasy Western and the online check in was not available

I joined the Facebook group for you. Almost everything is still open - sold out seems to be anything at Atlantis, fishing on Castaway Cay and (of course) Cabanas on Castaway Cay. All beverage tastings are open. It's a great group of friendly folks!

Wow thank you!! Great information.... that was so nice of you!!

Keep in mind that things will book up as more folks are allowed to schedule things. With all the uncertainty, I suspect there are a bunch of folks who are also waiting, so it might not be too bad.
