When exactly can you start booking on-line ressies?

[asreitzel]

Here I am 75 days out for my Oct 9 cruise, and I still am unable to do any of the on-line ressies or registration. Is there a certain point in the day when it opens up? Maybe I am being really nuts, but I just wanted to be sure that I got on right away so that I could get the days/times I wanted.

not certain, but I put the Oct 9 date into my countdown calandar and it shows 76 days, so maybe you are a day early? just a thought

YOu may want to check with your TA to see if they paid off your cruise. I had sent my final payments early, however even though I rec'd invoices showing zero balance and all had cleared the bank, when my 90 day mark came to book my online ressies, it said I couldn't due to not being paid off. It took all day and lots of phone calls, but in the end the travel agency still had money they needed to send to DCL. Another hint, pay your TA with credit card so payments go directly to DCL. My payment was a check that they cashed, but held onto. BTW, I had to wait a week for all to clear and did not get my 1st choices for Spa and Palo. Good Luck!

If your cruise is paid off you can book on-line at 75 days since you are new to DCL.

Clearly I am a day early. I concluded today was the day from 2 other sources. 1) My last day to cancel without penalty was 7/22 (this was for the land/sea) so I figured the 75 days prior to cruise would be 3 days later...as in today. 2) I looked at some of the counters of others on our Cruise Meet and they were at 74 days, XXhours. Anyway, I will try again tomorrow morning.

So what time can you officially book on-line 12am EST or 3am EST?
