I'm in same situation for Dream out of NOLA July 30. Was able to purchase one for my room (myself and son1) but have been unable to get FTTF for second room for wife and son2. I have checked 10 times a day for 30 days and still no openings...

What is the 'most last minute' you have ever booked a cruise. 1 day out, 5 days out, 10 days out?

Just to follow up, yesterday was 73 days out from my cruise and they opened up some late last night. When i got on the site, there were 3 left. I needed the package for 2 cabins but managed to only get one booked before they ran out. Hopefully they will open up again. If not, what are my options? call and request since i have two cabins? cancel the one i have? Thoughts or ideas?

anybody have any idea how many chairs there actually are on a given ship. I know its dependent on capacity but.... any guesses?

Thanks everyone!

I have read that as time gets closer to full payment and to cruise date, they open up more slots. I am curious if anyone has experienced the best "time of day" to snag a new slot? Meaning, do they open up new slots at a specific time such as midnight or noon. Or do they open the slots at random times with no predictable timing?

Since i am the OP, let me first say "THANK YOU" to everyone for the information. I had several reasons for the question, First, my kids are 15 and 23 so i don't intend to take a 5 year old to the casino. I agree with most that the casino is not a good environment for 5 year olds. Along those lines, I was just curious if i should expect kids to be running in and out of slot isles if i decide to spend some time there. And from your answers, this is not the case. Second, my 15 year old is mature enough to understand how the world works and knows how to deal with the things adults do. So i was curious how the casino would view it if he were to stand behind me and watch if i were to play blackjack. And again, from your answers, he would not be allowed. thanks again for your answers and yes i am a responsible parent and understand all the ramifications of exposing my kids to the things of the world. :) leaving july 30 for 7 on the dream

How is this handled? Not allowed? Frowned upon? Overlooked? Is it different for a 5 year old verses a 15 year old.

First time cruiser walks onto the ship for the first time, now what? What are some suggestions on what to do, OR not do, within the first few hours on the ship.

Be sure to .....

Don't do this because.....

Pretty much open ended question, thanks in advance

Does the 15 drink limit only apply to drinks with alcohol? Or is it a combination of everything including water, milkshakes, etc?
