Help-Need another room on sold out cruise???

[Magicboundagain4]

Ok, My family is booked on the March 20th 7 day, my brother and his family of 5 has decided they want to go on the same cruise...but of course it is sold out.....Is there a waiting list or someone you contact to get on a waiting list. I would love to get them on...but I realize it is virtually impossible. If anyone has advice let me know. The funny thing is that 2 weeks ago I let a room go back as my mother had decided not to go. Now I am short a room.

I have been trying to get my brother to commit for the last year....and now after watching the travel channel show on the cruise...now he wants to go. Any advice would be of help!!!!!!

I would call DCL and they should be able to put you on a wait list. They do them for the suites, so I'm sure they do them for the cruise. Being that you're in the 60 day cancellation area, I would doubt that anything would open up unless someone has an emergency or something. Good Luck!

Hi Magicboundagain4!

I just did a search on this cruise on www.disneycruise.com and it is showing availability in Categories 4 - 12. Where did you see that it was sold out?

I did the search too, the date shows up for 2 adults but when I tried to add children to the reservation it didn't show anything available for that date. They stop accepting childrens reservations when they have met the maximum the clubs can hold. Try the Wait List.

Oh, I see! I only put in for 2 adults. Didn't even think of that. Good catch, DMOMof3!

This is why when you book onboard, if you only want to put a deposit down for two you need to get your kids signed up before an adult (or teenager for that matter). You won't have problems adding an adult to an existing room, but you may have a problem adding a child to an existing room.
