What time does the window for booking DCL activities open up?

[The Fox Menagerie]

Our booking date is Sunday March 11th, what time does the activity booking window open up? I have read of folks going on at midnight to book; is that midnight my local time (Pacific time) or midnight Eastern time, or something else? Any information would be appreciated.

You can check-in and start booking activities at midnight Eastern time. That being said, the web site often crashes when EVERYONE on the cruise tries to do the same thing as you are trying to do. Be patient, keep refreshing your browser, and eventually you will get your activities booked. Also it is helpful to make a list of every activity that you want and put them in order of importance to your family. Try to book the most important items first and the least important last.

9:00 Pacific time. It's 10:00 Mountain time. Makes things easier for us further west!

Thank you! Just to be sure, that applies to all cruises, including the Mediterranean ones? I am at a crab feed at 9 pm PT on Saturday 3/10, so I will have to get what I want most on my phone and then get the rest when I get home.

Doh! Daylight Savings kicks in on the 11th. I'm from Arizona, so this is a foreign concept for me and I always get confused. Anyway, all I know is that Arizona is the same time as California and that she will be able to check in at 9:00 PM.

Yes, even for European cruises.

Awesome, thank you so much for the confirmation!

Oh! I get it. Don't worry; I've lived with Daylight Savings my entire life and still get confused about it.

This is one of the few times that being on the west coast has an advantage. We don't have to stay up late if we don't want to.
