Procedure for online checkin

[nikkistevej]

OK, this is probably a dumb question, as I have done this 4 times. My online check in and times to book stuff is coming up, do I have to do the online check in first, or can I book my Palo brunch first? Also, it is gonna be Jan 14th, so that would be midnight of the 13th right?

The only thing I'm certain of in this is the time. If the 14th is your day, then at 12:01am eastern you can log in and start. One key thing is you must log in after midnight, it is not sufficient to be logged in and simply refresh after midnight.

You are correct and yes you can book excursions and Palo first.

As long as you are PIF before online check-in starts.

Be aware, for excursion/dining/spa/etc reservations you must be paid in full.

For online checkin, you do not need to be paid in full yet.

 

[nikkistevej]

Yep, I am PIF.

You do know that more than 50% of all reservations for Palo is held for on-board booking?

I'm sailing Presidents' Week (not exactly a dead time) and had my choice of brunch times at my 90 day mark.

Yep, I sure do, this is my fourth DCL cruise and have gotten one for all the others. So hopefully no problems for my 5th one. Also excited because after this I will finally be gold.

That makes me feel better, we had good choices for our Thanksgiving week one too. Thinking Spring Break will be just as packed. Glad you got yours too.

Yay- I got my Palo brunch, and the time I wanted. It's getting real....

That's great! One less thing to worry about. We have gotten it 3 out of 4 beforehand. We got it the other time too but all I was thinking about was I had to get on the ship quickly to make those ressies!

What a great place to celebrate an anniversary! We celebrated our 25th on the Fantasy last year.

We love Palo- last time they sat us in the honeymoon round seat(and we weren't celebrating anyt. It was romantic, BUT the sun was bright in our face. Needed our sunglasses. 18 years marriage for us, we deserve it!!!
