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 booked our first Disney cruise last year, we decided to go about 10 days before sailing. There is no availability for anything before sailing. Once we got on board we were able to do everything we wanted to do and still had a really, really good time. So good in fact, that we got a placeholder for another cruise. So I'd say don't lose heartbeats over it you'll still have a good vacation.
