Where are the cruise prep "tiles" on DCL.com?

[squirk]

I have not sailed since the DCL.com site redesign. Our PIF date is at the end of November, and I am just starting to pull stuff together - Port Canaveral hotel reservations, renewing kids' passports, etc.

I went to DCL.com to view my cruise details, and I can no longer find the page with all of those dark-blue "tiles". The first was a countdown tile with Capt. Mickey and days remaining to our cruise, and the others were like "Directions to the Port", "What to Bring with You", "Online Check-In", usually with a graphic of a Disney character or something else cruise-related like a life preserver or some-such. I'm sure you old hands know what I am talking about.

Seems like now, whenever I pull up my res, I get a page listing my reservations and when I click on "View Details", I get a pop-up window recapping the itinerary with a little Flash graphic of the itinerary map. There are a few links at the bottom about prepping for your cruise, but not nearly as many as there were on the tiles page.

I liked the "tiles" format because it laid out most of the things you needed to think about on one single screen. Is that page no longer available, or is it still lurking about somewhere?

Thanks!

I agree with you! I so miss those tiles and that set-up. Seeing the characters like that even on the page helped get me even more excited. Now it's just "meh" like pretty much any other cruise line website.

I've been told that when you can book activities and click on that link the tiles/buttons page appears, but I don't get to see if that's true until midnight Thanksgiving Day.

Me too! Are you on the 2/25/17 Fantasy 7-night SWDAS cruise?

Just booked stuff last night and it's true that when you click on the "Book Now" link you get tiles for booking stuff. Same with online checkin.

The countdown is the first screen on the DCL app for iPhone.

Where are you seeing your check-in date on DCL.com?

Where are you seeing your check-in date on DCL.com?

"My Reservations" under "My Disney Cruise"

I see mine and my parents' reservations. But it's all in list form.

For Activities and Online Check-In I see this...

"Activities: Booking begins November 24, 2016
Online Check-In: Available November 24, 2016"

Ah. There it is. Thx.

Still miss the tiles.

If you look below the tab that says Link Reservations, there are the sections for Get ready for your cruise . They are left to right on the page on the bottom.
