    Hello! I’ve reserved an October cruise and would like to book Royal Court Royal Tea, but it says “Check Availability Onboard.” Is there a way to track availability? Can I still book onboard? If so, when and where should I go, and what will I need?

    Hi, Aline!

    Welcome to planDisney! I am glad you stopped to chat with us as you prepare for your magical sailing aboard a beautiful Disney Cruise Line ship. As you begin to pack for your voyage, check the suggested packing list. It will be helpful as you decide what to take with you. I suggest not overpacking, and to stick with cruise casual outfits that you can mix-and-match. And, of course, pack your Mouse Ears as they are the perfect complement to any outfit!

    The Royal Court Royal Tea is perfect for your little royal sailors! To book this, you will need to be paid in full and within your booking window. If you met these requirements and still are getting "Check Availability Onboard" then this activity is currently filled. I suggest that you keep checking for availability as guests' plans often change and reservations are canceled. If you reach your sail date and still are not able to secure a spot, stop by Guest Services as soon as you board your ship on embarkation day to see if you can be added to the waitlist. Hopefully you will be able to enjoy this special event during your cruise. 

    I am happy to say that even if you are unable to book a Royal Court Royal Tea reservation that you are going to have so many other activities to enjoy. Keep an eye on the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App to see all that is taking place around the ship. Do not miss the nightly shows, character meet and greets, family crafts and games, and so much more. My family has different interests, but one thing we can always agree on is playing BINGO during a cruise (additional fee for some onboard activities). 

    Have fun as you get ready to set sail! The countdown is on until you get to board your ship and sail away to the magic. Bon Voyage!
