Booking window open at midnight??

[iluveeyore]

When the booking window opens for port arrival times, etc., is it midnight that we can call/book, or do most of you wait until later in the morning? Ours opens tomorrow for our September cruise, and I wanted to know if I should stay up till midnight tonight, or just get up early

Its midnight EST and you don't call you do it all online from what I understand

Are you on the Sept 3rd cruise (Fantasy)? I'm on that one and silver can go online at midnight on the 4th (not tonight) as our window is Sept 5th (per calculator on Disney cruise line blog anyways. First timers its June 20th (or 19th at midnight)

I do not stay up to book but do it the next day-- if even then. Most things are still available for quite a while after open booking.

You can go online at midnight. If you choose to call, I don't believe the phone lines open until 8am.

Enjoy your cruise!

It is my first cruise!!! My hubby, however, is a Gold member, so I get to ride his coattails from previous cruises with his ex

Just a warning, several have reported they can do the excursions and dining reservations at 1200midnight EST however they can't do the actual check in until later in the morning. I experienced this as a Platinum cruiser for our Alaska check in as did several others. I've been reading about it sporadically on here so not sure what causes it. It didn't matter what system I logged on, the "check in" option disappeared. It finally was available around 6am EST and wasn't a big deal. Tonight just happens to be my check in for the NYC/Canada cruise in October so we'll see if it happens again.

This is correct, I have known OLCI to come up about three hours later.

So, after all your help, we went to bed before midnight, then slept in until after 8 am LOL - did online check in and have 10:30 port arrival! All set!! Now, we wait...
