Day 75 is hours away

[summerskye]

Finally after waiting for what has seemed like forever, day 75 is so almost here.

We have everything thing sitting next to computer. (passports, emergency contact info, excursion plans, etc.)
I just hope there are no website issues at 11:02pm (central time).

Thanks to all for the advice and tips over the past months. As a cruise newbie, I feel somewhat ready.

Good luck getting what you want at check in!

Thanks. Only doing a couple of excursions, so fingers crossed. I just don't want to be up all night trying to get stuff confirmed.

I haven't used the new website but the old one you had to confirm twice. Make sure your things are confirmed and not just picked
Once it's confirmed I print the page.

Good advice! You should also get an email with the confirmation info for each thing you book so you will see it there.
Good luck!

Well, it's a good idea to "confirm" on each reservation you make. Instead of putting them all in your cart and then confirming at the end. Until you confirm, your space isn't yours. Someone may come along before you hit "confirm" and take all the space.

Once it's in your cart it cannot be taken by another, but if you loose your internet connection it's lost. Otherwise all cabanas would disappear from your cart. A DCL " session" lasts up to twenty minutes, then everything is lost. A counter will come up.

Good luck!

Just a tip. If you don't get something you want. Check the reservation desks when you board the ship. We were able to get a Palo res and a member of our party got jet skies at Castaway even after they were full online.

Great advice from all. Thanks.

Our friends kinda walked us through it last night. They are on the same cruise. The biggest issue they had was not being able to get in until 4-5 hrs after they started. They kept refreshing computer, it was around 5am when they got in via cell phone.

I get up at for 4:30 for work. I need to be done by then. A little sleep would be nice too. Work - the only way I know how to pay for all these things...

Please write an update after your experience! We are first-time cruisers, too - our 75 day mark is towards the end of May. I'm a little nervous I won't know how to navigate the pages. I've tried to check things out, but it won't let me proceed since we're not at the 75 day point. Having never seen the site, I just hope it's easy to understand!

It's very easy.

Hang in there. I have asked so many questions and always gotten great advice and ideas. Use the search feature, there are so many reports, questions and answers on everything.

I will post a report. I have to. I owe it to all the people who have helped me. It won't be fancy, but hopefully it will help someone new...

Have fun on your trip. You will make it. lol

 

[CamColt]

It's very easy.

I agree!
Also, Friday was my 120 day and I signed on at 6:00 am Eastern with no issues. Hopefully the technical issues your friend encountered were a 1 time thing.

 

[summerskye]

2 computers going plus cellphone.

16min past opening, still can't get in....
!!!!

 

[summerskye]

Hour number 1 and still no luck

This is more frustrating the the price...

Update

After 3 hours, I gave up. I had to get a couple hours of sleep before work. At 4:30 am, I finally got into the system. I was able to get what I wanted. (except sleep)

Have a nice day - to all

Thank you for this info. It seems like the midnight hour for check-in has been changed to many hours later. Congrats on getting what you wanted!!!

In hindsight, I wish I would have just gone to bed as usual. And got up a little early. It's gonna be a long day, good thing I have a supply of Redbull.
