New website

[ppiew]

Anyone else dislike this like I do? Is it me or what? I find it hard to navigate. It seems i need to press a lot more sites to get the info I used to get very quickly. For instance, I wanted a cruise in April 2017 I couldn't get all of April on the same screen nor could I get the classes of room available and their price. It was one at a time and after one go around I quit. I didn't book anything frankly I just don't like it.

On the new site, if you just select April 2017 in the "Dates" menu (on the top of the first page) all available cruises for April 2017 will show up. I just did that and it shows 23 cruises.

I am in the same boat. This will take a little getting used to! My problem has been with being able to see all categories and pricing for a cruise. It seems to only show the lowest price and not all of them to compare.

I actually really like the new web site. I find it much easier to quickly compare multiple cruises to zero in on the one you want based upon price and sail dates. Much less cumbersome than the old site.

Aside from the new site LOOKING better, I HATE everything else about it! Agreed it takes too many clicks to get to what I want, but the killer is that there are too many things missing. Most notably, the ability to see availability or select a favorite cabin that does not appear on the extremely limited 8 (per category per deck) they choose to show. If I can't select or see availability for the SPECIFIC stateroom I want, I am NOT going to use their site to book a cruise! For me, the new site is irritating and useless!

It seems that all the Disney sites are going with this format,
DCL/ DVC/ WDW/ Ext ...

Something new and standardized through the Disney....

I was interested in a specific cruise but only if I could get main dining. Turns out, per the DCL representative I spoke with, late dining is automatically chosen but apparently you can change it online after you book. That doesn't make a lot of sense.

I agree that there should be a way to see what rooms are available in a given category and, for that matter, Which categories a given room is in.

The ability to change the dinner seating once the reservation has been made was also available on the old site. But you could make that choice during the booking process on the old site, not on the new.

To see what category any given room is all you need to do is check the deck plans on the blog.
