What time do excursions/activities open?

[KashasMom]

Our excursions/activities open up on the 13th (tomorrow). Does that mean they open at midnight or sometime in the morning? Someone in our group (who refuses to believe that it's almost impossible to get a cabana on CC) wants to try. Thanks!

Midnight Eastern. You have to log into your account at midnight - you cannot already be logged in.

 

[KashasMom]

Thanks. I would have already been logged in!!

So... I decided to try it out and if I go to Port Adventures Bahamas/CC - the cabanas don't show up. Are they somewhere else?

The are under the port adventures, toward the bottom of the list. They may be all grayed out (sold out).

How can they be sold out if our activities open at midnight tonight?

 

[KashasMom]

And how do you get to the page you displayed? If I go to my cruise activities I am sent to my cruise reservations.

Are you Concierge or Platinum?

When is your cruise and what's your Castaway Club level?

August, Gold. They open tonight... So Platinum/Concierge have already scooped them up?

You can't get to your excursion/activities booking page until your window opens. So you can't see the cabana information until then.

Often, even Platinum can't get them. Concierge guests provide shoreside concierge services their desired choices at 125 days out, and in the split second that the booking window opens at 120 days out, Concierge gets first crack. With only 27 cabanas, and over 2500-3700 guests on any given cruise, they pretty much go immediately.

Thanks! I guess the upside is that she won't have to stay awake until midnight.

I don't believe you can see the cabana info -- if any are available or not -- until your booking window opens tonight. Just like you can't see the excursion times and such. While highly unlikely, there may be a very minimal chance a cabana is available at midnight tonight. But most likely they have been grabbed by Concierge and Platinum CC members who booked online at 120 days (unofficially, 125 for concierge). Have you joined a cruise meet group? Someone on your cruise meet might be able to tell you if any are still open if your friend still wants to try at midnight.

If she really wants one, she can stalk the website going forward and watch for cancellations. People do cancel occasionally and that's usually how Gold, Silver or new cruisers manage to catch a cabana. It's really just a matter of being in the right place (online) at the right time (when someone cancels).

Good luck and enjoy your cruise!

Keep checking the cabana availability though. We were able to grab one at one month out from our trip as there was a cancellation!

Which ship? I got a SB cabana at midnight on my date as a lowly silver. For Presidents' Week.

Meant to quote the OP. Just saying there is hope.

Fantasy - DVC Member Cruise. I'm sure they'll be gone.
