Platinum luck on Treasure?

[rere101399]

How has the luck been for platinum cruisers on the treasure so far for Palo brunch, PAT and CC cabanas? I know it’s a bigger ship and so more people (and more concierge), but with more sea days than the Wish, have platinum cruisers been able to get Palo brunch so far, particularly on the eastern?

Our first platinum cruise will be on the Treasure in May (Eastern). We were able to book Palo brunch (signed in at midnight on booking day). We didn't try for a cabana or anything else. Obviously, we haven't checked in yet, so I can't speak to PAT.

Brunch booked up pretty quickly, though. I don't think there was any availability for gold. I think gold castaway members were able to book last week and there is still Enchante dinner available every night as well as some Palo dinner.

We are on the Treasure on Feb 1 and couldn’t get Palo for brunch or dinner and we are Platinum. Been looking everyday.

We're Pearl and no cabanas

We are platinum and are on the 2/1 sailing and were able to get both Palo brunch and dinner. I have also seen several posts and videos of passengers that were able to add Palo once they were on board. We did not try to book a cabana.

We are platinum got palo brunch and dinner on the treasure for our march sailing. I forgot to book it until two days into the platinum booking window because I had a lot going on in life at the time so its definitely doable. It sometimes just depends on the mix of castaway sailing statuses for a particular cruise date too how fast it books up.

I imagine these earlier cruises are pearl/platinum heavy....and that the Eastern with San Juan is totally tilted towards higher status levels.

I agree completely!

We're sailing on 2/15. We were able to get Palo Brunch and Dinner for 3 with no issue, but Cabanas on Castaway Cay - both family and serenity bay - were completely gone right at midnight when booking opened.

Our PAT is 5, but we're also taking Disney transportation, so I don't know if we have a good PAT because of that or our Platinum status.

Rainforest pass was also gone when our booking window opened, but I was able to grab one in December as I do randomly check every now and again to see if a cabana will magically open up. Also, all massage treatments for non-show or non-dinner hours on sea days were already gone when our window opened.

On the Treasure in May and we were able to get Palo brunch and tastings, etc. There were no cabanas available, but I didn't expect it. I believe that there was no Palo brunch availabiity when gold booked.

We are Pearl and booked the Treasure on New Year's Eve for a January 11th sail date so there were no Palo reservations available before we sailed. We waited on the line at Triton's Lounge for dining changes/Palo and were at least 50 people back. We were able to snag Palo Brunch for 5 people. They added times on our Grand Cayman day as there was so much demand for more times.

Platinum and sailing in March. We got on at midnight and were able to get brunch and dinner at Palo but the cabanas were all sold out.

Platinum sailing 2/22 Western. We got Palo Brunch, Rainforest Room and a tasting. I don’t remember what tasting I booked at this point but I think they were all available. Didn’t look for cabanas. Also, boarding group 9, but not using Disney Transport.

More concierge seems to be a factor, as well as lots of pearls and platinums booking inaugural season. Total passenger count same as Dream class. I would venture if you take out the gross tonnage volume of the Incredizone, the Wish class is actually less gross tonnage than the Dream class. (Which has an outdoor smaller sport court that doesn’t count towards enclosed gross tonnage number) Anyone know the dimensions and the math on GT of that space? A curiosity for me.

We're sailing in May and were able to get Palo brunch. We got everything we had wanted (brunch, princess tea, BBB, tastings, PA). We haven't done our check in yet so not sure on PAT. We didn't try for a cabana but in our cruise group several concierge were upset that they didn't get one and were on the waitlist so I think it's safe to say there weren't any for platinum booking.

We are on the Treasure in March. We were able to book Palo and Enchante brunch. We could have booked them for dinner on any night other than pirate night, but we wanted pirate night as we didn't want to miss any of the themed dinners, and I guess concierge and pearl felt the same.

For excursions, most things were available, but there were a couple that were sold out--mainly pirate-themed excursions on St. Thomas and a couple small group ones. Cabanas were not available to platinum or pearl--they sold out and went to waitlist with Concierge.

For onboard activities the Treasure tea party ("Adventure tea") was a bit weird because it was not available on our booking day, but concierge still got priority before it was released to everyone else and they completely booked up the sea day. We could have gotten day 5 (St. Thomas) but the time was an hour before all aboard and conflicted with our excursion plans for the day.

Drink tastings were a mixed bag. Mixology was completely sold out as was one of the chocolate and liquor tastings. Everything else was available on platinum booking night. But I think part of that was because nearly all the tastings were at 8pm or 9pm later, which didn't work if you had late dinner or if you wanted to see the evening shows.

Spa was mostly available, although 50 minute massage appointments on the sea days were limited times. Rainforest did not sell out to platinum but is also very $$$$ on the treasure ($400 per person).

We sailed on the Maiden Voyage as Platinum and could not book a Palo Brunch at midnight when our window opened. On the ship, we were in boarding group 3 (took DCL transportation from the Orlando Hyatt) and went immediately to the Triton Lounge once onboard to request a Palo Brunch. We were put on a waiting list and told that we should not expect it to open up. They did have Palo Dinner available, but we declined since we wanted to experience all of the MDRs each night. On the afternoon of the 6th day, we received a message from Dining asking us to contact them. They had added Palo Brunch on Castaway Cay day, and asked if we were interested. We of course jumped on it.
Whether or not adding Palo Brunch to all Castaway Cay days will be a norm, I do not know.
