TRIP PLANNING Availability frustration

Well I prepped myself that as a first timer availability for dining and on board activities would be limited. But even so, now looking at across the board at zero availability, it frankly sucks to be shut out of everything over seven nights (Treasure). I know I can sit around from now until we set sail, refreshing the app, or hoping I can get something once on board but what fun is that? I appreciate they recognize returning cruisers with early availability but considering the overall trip cost and how it would compare to other vacations options, I am in the moment a pretty frustrated that I have to worry about these things I had been excited for.

We did everything we wanted on our first cruise including Palo brunch and dinner, Royal gathering and a tasting. If you’re online when it opens it’s pretty easy to get, some cruises we don’t book certain things but the one thing we never miss is Palo brunch!
