Selecting a Stateroom in online booking?

[jenhelgren]

I haven't checked DCL prices in awhile and was curious about the new itineraries. The whole website has changed since I last used it. When I select a category it is only showing me 3 or 4 rooms to chose from. I know there used to be an option to select your room number and be able to see deck wide what was available but I cant find it anywhere!

The option to ask for a specific room seems to have disappeared on the new site. You can only select from what they offer you. If you want to ask for a specific room, I'd say you need to call DCL to make the reservation and have them look it up if it's available.

Thank you! That's sad..I like to see my options. We don't have a single stateroom that we want but its nice to be able to choose and not be given a total of 6 rooms to chose from without calling DCL. The 2017 cruises are not showing up yet on Expedia, Orbitz, etc. Can you chose from all available staterooms when using third party sites still so I could get an idea of what to ask for when calling in?

Well, even on the old site, we were only typically offered 6-8 rooms to choose from. Regardless of how many were actually available.

I've read that there are 3rd party booking sites that will show all available rooms in a category, but I don't recall which ones they were.

I have found the new website to be good in some areas and severely lacking in others. Can't input stateroom numbers to see if available, can't select dining time and some other things I can't think of at the moment.
