Does booking ever open earlier on opening days

[millielover]

I am hoping to book a cruise tomorrow as a silver member. Does booking ever open earlier than the posted time?

Online booking opened early for platinum, I was able to book at 6:30am yesterday.

Thank you. I haven’t booked on opening day before. Is it usually better to do it online or by phone? i live in the UK so I believe we are 5 hours ahead of Eastern time.

I'd start looking at 6 AM Eastern time or maybe even earlier.

In 2018 and 2019, I was able to book at 5AM Eastern, so 10AM in the UK. Just before 5, the cruises were not there, then they showed up with no availability and a few minutes later my cruise was booked.

I booked online this morning at 7:15 edt. Apparently they were already open from just after 6 am. Not sure if by phone.

Phones open right at 8am EST, online often "opens" well before it is supposed to at 7am EST. Definitely try online first.

Thanks for all the advice

Thanks for all the advice

Start looking around now onwards. I think Platinum UK time was 10:16am so very close to now

So do you log into your castaway club account And book from there?

If I may hop in (thank you OP for making this post): When I log in, it says that my CC status can't be found. I'm assuming I can't book online then, huh?

 

[millielover]

Thank you for all your help. Online opened about 1055 I booked the cruise and cabin I wanted.

Looking today for silver, but doesn't seem to have opened up yet... will I suddenly just be able to see 2022 dates in the date filter once it's live?

Oh hang on, just spotted you've been able to book already... what am I doing wrong?

I don't know why I'm not having any luck...

The web address at the top implies 2022 months should be included, but I'm not seeing any on the page...

 

[millielover]

I refreshed my CC page a couple of time and then booked although to begin with I got a message saying no cabins available. Just kept trying

Have the Hawaiian cruises sold out? They aren't available to select online :s

They were still there an hour ago, the one from vancouver to hawaii only had interior and oceonview, and the one from Hawaii to vancouver only had interior. I'm sure some more will open up when holds expire
