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
