    Once you pay in full for your cruise, can you book excursions, or do you need to wait until your booking window opens?

    Ahoy there, Jennifer. Thanks for cruising by planDisney with your question for us. I’m so excited for your upcoming sailing in July!

    In addition to picking out the itinerary, which ship to sail on and when to travel, my family and I look forward to planning port adventures while at ports of call. Additionally, my husband and I also try to book a couple of onboard activities, such as an adults-only brunch on a sea day or a beverage tasting class. 

    Final payment is required before you are able to book onboard activities and port adventures. The date in which the final payment is due depends on the length of the cruise. Unfortunately, even though you may have paid your final payment well ahead of the due date, you will still need to wait until your booking window opens before you can book any onboard activity or port adventure. Your Castaway Club status determines when your booking window opens. At this time, first-time Guests can book 75 days prior to sail date, Silver Castaway Club member can book 90 days prior to sail date, Gold Castaway Club members can book 105 days prior to sail date, Platinum Castaway Club members can book 120 days prior to sail date, and Pearl Castaway Club members can book 123 days prior to sail date. Regardless of Castaway Club status, Guests staying in a Concierge level stateroom can book up to 130 days prior to sail date. 

    I hope this information is helpful for you, Jennifer. If you have more trip-planning questions as your sail date gets closer, please feel free to stop by planDisney again. 

    Hope to SEA ya real soon,
    Kiki

Greetings! I have been fascinated by the magic of Disney since I was a little girl; now that I am a mother of two, I love watching my children experience Disney Parks through their own eyes. I am also surrounded by fellow Disney-loving nurse friends whom I enjoy quick adults-only Disneyland Resort escapes or Disney Cruise Line voyages with. Whether you are planning your once-in-a-lifetime family trip or a short adults-only getaway to the Happiest Place on Earth, I am here to help!
