DCLCrazy Posted August 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Has anyone ever been spontaneous enough to drive to PC the day the Dream leaves without a reservation and hope they get one? I wonder if that’s even possible. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cltdad Posted August 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I suspect that with the cruise lines having to review passenger manifests for safety concerns that this last minute stuff is not possible anymore. But I am sure someone on here knows. Sent from my SM-G955U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted August 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2018 IIRC, since 9/11, cruise lines are required to submit passenger manifests to DHS three days prior to the cruise. That would likely affect any cruise that embarks, disembarks or makes port in a US port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would likely affect any cruise that embarks, disembarks or makes port in a US port. The requirement is to submit the manifest one hour before sailing. There have been reports of folks doing what the OP described and being successful...but with little to no break in price. The reports that I have read have not been for Disney, nor have they been for Port Canaveral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted August 15, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2018 CALL they are not set up to handle this at the terminal anymore .... you need to show your reservation just to get in the terminal but folks have called as little as 24 hours b4 and gotten a berth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that’s even possible. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Unfortunately, I think those days are over with being spontaneous. Too many requirements for safety and security reasons and I don't think they allow same day bookings. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted August 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 30, 2018 If you "just show up," you can't even get into the terminal area. 2 years ago it was possible to phone shoreside and make a "same day" reservation if space was available, but you had to make the phone call and have a reservation before trying to get into the terminal area. This cannot be done on line; it required a phone call to shoreside reservations. I don't know if it is still possible. As noted, the manifest doesn't have to be completed until shortly before the ship actually departs--there are often "no shows" and other changes from the preliminary.
