Making Online Reservations

[Admiral Boom]

I know if you're a concierge guest reservations are available 105 days out. For CC members, it's 90 days and for first time cruisers it's 75 days. Two questions:

a) For the 4 night and 7 night cruises: Are you able to book any of: Palo *BRUNCH*, and/or High Tea ?

b) What TIME OF DAY can you start making the bookings? is it 00:00:01 (12:00:01am) exactly 105/90/75 days out, or is it something like 8AM EST/DT ?? I want to be in there right away making reservations and if you can do it at midnight for your time period I want to stay up and do that.

Thank you.

Sorry I cannot answer your second question. For the first question, you can book Palo brunch (I did it), so I assume you can book high tea as well...

I thought I had read that the time is 3:01am EST (12:01am PST).

yes to your first question.

on the second, I tried booking at 12:01 am on day 90 and was unable to do so. I went to bed and when I tried at 8:30 am I got in just fine. Got everything I wanted on the first try, and I made three Palo reservations, two spa reservations, and three shore excursion reservations.

I wouldn't worry about trying it at 12:01 unless you really feel like you have to.

Good luck!

I just did mine last night. For me is was 2:01 am Central time. I did a lot of searching here and there seemed to be a consensus that Midnight Pacific time is when they open it up. Sooooo, last night I set my alarm for 1:55AM (CDT) and started booking my Palo (Dinner, Brunch & Tea) at 2:01 my time. (I did try at 1:59am and still got the can't do it yet message, then reset my clock to the time server and tried again right at 2:01am and was able to get in.)

Any first time cruisers out there trying to book online? We cruise next year and I was wondering if there is "anything left" as far as ressies at the 75 days out mark?

It is eastern standard time that the on-line ressies are availalbe at 12:01.

Not as of the 90 day mark (Yesterday) for the Oct 22nd Magic. I tried at 11:10pm Central time (which would be after 12:01 Eastern) and it didn't work. I also tried at 1:58am and it didn't work. However, at 2:02am (after 12:01 PACIFIC time) I was able to book everything.

Sorry to JSME! It is 12:01 pacific time. I can confirm this with our dis group who lives all across the U.S. When we booked, it was pacific time. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair that the Eastern Coasts could book before everyone else could.
I know this one as a fact. Good luck!

I didn't realize I could book a specific spa treatment until 34 days out, and booked without a problem. Plenty of times left. I also booked Palo Brunch about 50 days out. I think it may depend on what you wish to book. When I went back to consider a Palo dinner at 34 days, there was only one day left available. So, I think if you are near the 75 day window, you should do well. The longer you wait, the less you will find.

3am EDT/EST is correct! I stayed up and got in right away at 3am - got everything we wanted!
