Treasure Activities

[ray3127]

We are Silver CC, and closing in on 90 days until our Treasure cruise. I'd like to have some idea of what to expect in terms of booking activities. We've sailed the Dream and Fantasy before, and I assume the options will be similar.

But is there anything specific to try to snag? We are typically Palo + Special Character people ... not interested in tastings, cabanas, etc.

I'm also a little concerned about the availability of things. With us sailing within the ship's first couple months, I imagine it might be tough to book much with a higher percentage of more experienced cruisers having things already booked.

Just curious of others' experiences so far, as I won't be able to see what I can book until Sunday.

We're Pearl. When I booked our activities, there were no sold out items for or 01FEB25 E Carib cruise. Take it for what it's worth

I'm on that cruise too. By the time it got to Gold, a lot had been taken. The social media group has shared there's hardly anything left for Silver and newbies. Even several of the excursions are gone, no tastings, no Palo slots (for brunch or dinner).

We're Gold and on the January 18th sailing - I was able to book our port adventures without trouble as well as Enchante dinner, but all of the tastings except for beer were sold out, and I logged on right when our booking window opened.

Be prepared. As you saw, the sailing that (I assume) is right before yours is pretty slim pickings. BUT, I will say, that's a very unique itinerary so I'm guessing it's drawn more Pearl/Platinum sailors, and yours may be a better mix of Castaway Club levels. But, I would keep expectations low, as it's still a new ship. Have backups for your excursions, and be prepared to take any Palo slot you see because it probably won't last.

We are Gold on the 12/28. Palo was not booking brunches online when ours opened so we had to call. I think that made it easier to get.

Thank you. Yes, we are Feb. 8. "Typical" Western, so hopefully it's a little less crazy.

Palo's about the only thing we'd really like to have. Hopefully if we don't get a slot ahead of time, they can accommodate us on board.

Part of the allure of this cruise was being on the first wave of sailings ... but I am discovering there is a drawback! I know we'll have a great time no matter what, though.

Oh, for sure you will! Agreed, if you're not able to get Palo ahead of time, hopefully they can help you at Dining Changes once onboard. I've always had good luck with that (though again, never been on such an early sailing of a new ship!).

We are on the same cruise. We have never really had a problem booking our wanted activities (silver level also) but now I’m WORRIED . We like to do the beverage tastings and Palo. Oh well if we don’t get what we want we will just enjoy the ship and save a little money.

Yeah, we booked Enchante for the second night (first full day on board) and then I realized we don't want to miss the new restaurant, so I'm hoping I can switch to Pirate Night once we're onboard. Since we're gold we've been to plenty of pirate nights and don't mind missing it.

We are sailing February 8th as well. This is only our second cruise and we are excited! But last time as a newbie, I was able to pick up excursions and tastings that were not available immediately. I am optimistic that we can get what we want. But FYI, Lou Mangello’s WDW Radio group is on this cruise as well.

silver on the jan 18.

expect nothing to be available by the time it opens.

there was one beer class left when I logged on at midnite. that was it. no adult dining.

that said, by some miracle when I checked the next morning prima notte was available. we got the last two spots that someone had decided they didn't want. keep checking, especially on and around closer to embarkation day. stuff opens up. same thing happened on the norway cruise in 2023 then embarkation day I was able to book two alcohol classes.

Agree with this. We are on the same sailing and some tastings were sold out for Concierge/Pearl.

Sorry- withdrawing question until tomorrow

For anyone on Eastern Caribbean, what night is pirate night? I believe it is Tortola night? (I know I can check when booking window opens but that 2 min counts lol).

For the Eastern Caribbean I'm on it is Tortola night (Day 4), so assuming it's always the same that's when it would be.

To those on the 2/8 sailing, we are Platinum and could not get Palo brunch for the first time in many sailings. We did get Palo dinner, and I plan to check brunch availability once onboard.

No excursions for us. I booked a pedicure for myself and a shave for my husband. No kids so those activities are not applicable to us.

It's always been on Tortola night when I've sailed Eastern Caribbean. I don't know why it would be any different for the Treasure; however, since it hasn't sailed yet no one knows for sure.

For the western on the Treasure, it's day 6 based on this offering.

Thanks. I believe it's usually on different days for the Western than it is for the Eastern (day 6 on the Western, day 4 on the Eastern).

And, I realized my comment above isn't quite right. While no one has yet sailed on the Treasure, activity booking is open for several of them, so we do know what night Pirate Night will be at least for those sailings. Doh, brain fart after a very long week
