Silver Check-In at midnight & and got 11:45 PAT?

[griffindesign]

My check in time was supposed to open at midnight this morning. It didn’t. I googled and found that some were able to book an activity, then it opened. That worked for me, but it was 12:20 by the time I got my PAT and the earliest was 11:45. That really surprised me. I’ve never gotten that late, even when waiting until within the 75 day window. Any thoughts about why so late? It’s a 3 night dream.

While it’s possible that cruise is highly popular with CC members, my guess is a glitch. Check back regularly and you may find earlier PATs open. But, honestly, 11:45 isn’t bad because you’ll have minimal wait after checking in until boarding, plus the crowds are thinning out as early arrivals board.

Enjoy your cruise!

Yes, I will definitely be checking back for earlier times. It seems strange for 90 days out!

Are you flying in the morning of the cruise? When is your plane arriving? That can cause early PAT times to be unavailable, if DCL feels you won't be able to make that time.

No. Flying in the night before, but did not even enter us as flying in for now because it was taking so long to get into check in.

Perhaps it's just because of the type of cruise you are going on? Maybe the 3nights are more popular with FL residents, who are likely to be more frequent cruisers, and thus a higher status than silver? Although, from what I've read on here, most gold/platinum members like to arrive at the later time, have time in the parks in the morning and then just board straight away and go to their rooms. I guess your particular cruise just has lots of people, with a higher status, who want to check-in early? But like PP said, check back regularly. We had an 11.30am PAT on our previous 4-night initially and were able to snag a 10:45am PAT closer to the sailing date. Good luck!
