Sorry if this has been answered but for those of you who were changed to the western itinerary, did DCL transfer your reservations from the Easteen? For example, if you had a Palo on a sea day, did it automatically transfer over even if the new itinerary is a port day?

The private sail and snorkel excursion sounds awesome -- I've struggled over my last few cruises with young kids to find excursions they can go on. I'm definitely going to look that up in the future!
If your new itinerary is going to Cozumel, my vote with an 18 month old would be the Playa Mia beach break excursion. We did that when our older DS was 18 months and it was great. They have a whole section of small water features and water slides for young kids that he loved. There was a regular pool, too, plus the beach with chairs. And if you do have older kids, there is a whole area of inflatables in the ocean. We also did the Turtle Farm in Grand Cayman on that cruise -- not as much of a favorite for me, but DS did enjoy it. Fair warning, though, the "touch a turtle" section was a bust as they would not let kids that young touch the turtles. We just walked around the secured port area on Jamaica.
Good luck! You'll still have a fabulous time -- the Fantasy is an awesome ship and you'll still get that great topical feel from the Western islands! Enjoy!
All my reservations for Palo, beverage tastings, and character breakfast are still showing booked on the days/times I booked them. DCL hasn't released the excursions yet for the new itinerary. I'm wondering if stuff will change after that happens.
They have done "double dip" cruises that were scheduled that way. And they tend to be considerably more than "regular" Castaway cruises.
To my knowledge they have not randomly added a day at Castaway before.
When I looked yesterday all my reservations had been moved to new days with the exception of the port adventures.
I just checked again and mine are still in place. Hmmm...
Are you happy with the new placement??
For the most part yes. My only disappointment was that I had the character breakfast and a chocolate and liquor tasting for one of the sea days and now they have been moved to the Grand Cayman day. This is the only port that my husband wants to see so I guess I will have to cancel the tasting and the character breakfast.
Thank u!NOW for th 10/7 Fantasy cruise!!!!!!
Free for all......So is Grand Cayman your other sea day? We are on the 10/21 Eastern cruise and waiting to see if lose our Palo Brunch. We want to go to Grand Cayman. Any one move the brunch to the last sea day? Also, is there any booking priority? We are Gold and it sounds like there is no priority booking and it's a free for all?

I'm on the 11/4 sailing so I'm assuming we will also get moved to a Western itinerary. Thank you for keeping us all informed so we can be ready. How did you know when to book the new excursions? Did you get an email? I see concierge got to do it the day before--how about platinum and silver? Did you all get an email telling you when to book? Thanks so much!
Most all of them I was reading on Cruisecritic.com. Just glancing at them, looks like RC, Carniaval, MSC, etc went/going to Cozumel instead of Eastern. . . .
