Hi, all. We're Silver, so can book on Weds. morning. We're looking at the 8/22-8/26 sailing. I'm getting nervous, as I see cruises filling and availability going down and I want to come up with a plan to get the cruise/stateroom type we want. We have a Placeholder cruise through Costco and called them to confirm we can use it. They told us to call back the morning Silver can book. However, from what I can tell, they open at 7am PST and bookings start at 8am EST (we're Central, so 9am vs. 7am here) and online may open even a bit earlier. So, do we just miss out on 2 hours of availability vs. other Silvers because we have to wait for Costco to use our Placeholder? If so, is there any way around this, like booking myself online or holding what we want online until Costco is booking for us? We don't want anything crazy hard to get, but would really like a 4C or 4B family verandah, preferably on the bump-outs. Any advice on how this process works or just general reassuring news like lots of the rooms we want are left?
