Princess Meet and Greet Sold Out!

[KaityB]

This is our 1st Disney cruise, so naturally our check in was 75 days out and so I got up early to complete the online check-in that morning. I found both princess meet and greet days completely sold out! Does anyone know if there is a chance for spots to open up? Or...What is the likelihood we would see the princesses without the ticketed gathering (i.e. regular character appearances on the ship)? The main ones my daughter cares about are Belle, Tiana, and Ariel.

Keep checking. I've seen reports from a few different posters that more time slots opened closer to their sail date. Also check once you board. There will be a time and location listed in the Navigator to go for tickets.

There are usually some princess meet and greets that aren't ticketed. Which ship are you on?

ETA: Below is a link to the Navigators from a 3 night on the Dream. Character appearances are listed on the last page of each Navigator. Day 1 on this cruise had Tiana and Rapunzel. And there's something listed as "Princess Appearances" on the last night in the D lounge. I haven't been on a cruise that has had that so I'm not exactly sure what it entails. Lastly, on the last night of the cruise there is something called "See Ya Real Soon". All the characters come out, and there will be a brief period of time when you can meet characters.

It's possible that tickets may become available again. Just keep checking. Also, often, there is limited availability once onboard. Check the Navigator you get at check in to see where/when to go for that.

For the most part, except for Anna & Elsa, the other princesses do have individual meet & greets throughout the cruise. Those will be listed daily in the Navigator.

It will all work out. Keep checking back sometimes more will open up. Check the week before your cruise also.
They do hold some back. The day you board go to the port adventures desk and you should be able to get tickets.
Also throughout the week there are meet and greets with the princess that don't require tickets. These will be listed in the Navigator (newsletter) that you will receive once onboard or you can download the app.

Oh thank you! We are going to be on the Dream and I had forgotten about rapunzel, she would probably want to see her too

Thank you all, that's very helpful. We got tickets for Anna and Elsa, there were plenty of openings for them. I'll just keep checking!

Just as a side note, depending on which ship you're on, you might not get both Anna and Elsa for the Frozen M&G. On the 6/25 Dream it was only Anna when I got there, and I was kind of disappointed.

That's good to know, I would be disappointed too!

I was also on the 6/25 Dream. I was able to snag tickets for Princesses and Frozen on 6/22; they released a ton of time slots that day. The Princess session had Cinderella, Belle, Rapunzel, and Tiana. And as noted above, "Frozen" was just Anna. I swear every kid asked where Elsa was.... You can also see Olaf on Castaway Cay.

Keep checking and especially once you board. Many times they become available. I have given a few back to GS for one reason or another. They said I probably made a little girl really happy. I assume they have a list or something.

Well, it's difficult for both Anna and Elsa to be away from Arendelle at the same time for prolonged periods. Once in a while one, or the other, must return for official business.
