We're cruising in October so our time to book excursions is coming up. Other than that, what things can we book? We're on the Wish, so I think there's a chocolate tasting experience and probably adults only dinners. Anything else?
 
I can’t speak for the Wish specifically, but usually there’s a bunch of other tastings (adult-only), like champagne, scotch, mixology, beer, wine, etc. There’s also the spa services. For kids, there’s the bibbiday bobbidy boutique and Royal tea (not sure if you are sailing with kids). There used to be the ticketed (but free) character meet-and-greets as well but I don’t think that has resumed yet post-Covid. Palo and Remi can be booked.

I just saw on the news thread ticketed princess meets are returning

I just booked some things for my September trip and I didn’t even see the chocolate and liquor tasting as an option (other sold out events showed up), so I’m not sure if it was available at all on the Wish. Other things you can try to book, include photo packages, bibbidi, boppidi boutique or pirate experience, spa services, adult dining for Enchante and Palo (dinner, brunch, dessert), tastings. I noticed you could start booking salon services in Tangled on August 6, so about 30 days prior to sailing.
 
If you search for the "Wish activities" thread (I'm not allowed to post links), it includes a sample of activities you can book on the Wish beyond adults-only dining, port adventures, and spa treatments.
 
It will be interesting to see if the tastings are still as popular since the prices dramatically increased recently.

The only tastings left on the 4 night when it got to my Silver booking was a beer tasting and a cognac tasting. I think I got the last spot for the beer tasting and the cognac one was sold out within 15 minutes of my going online. I believe they hold back spots for booking once on board the ship, but what they did release is already sold out for our cruise.

Wow. We won't do it again at the new prices, since we generally don't enjoy 100% of what they serve. For ~$50 we can sit at the bar and befriend a bartender to make some drinks for us that we will enjoy.

When you booked as silver, did you see if Olaf’s picnic or bippity boppity boutique still had openings or was it booked prior to silver booking opening?

Olafs was sold out. Bippity Boppity had availability each day of the 4 night.
