CC Bike rentals - sold out?

I had been holding out on booking the bike rentals on CC until we were actually there, but now they're listed as sold out! Does anyone know the chances of being still being able to rent even though the pre bookings are gone?

TIA!

Well I would contact guest service on board to verify that they are all sold out or not. Also call DCL now and maybe they can tell you for certain if they are all sold out or they save some for the day of rentals.

In 20+ Disney cruises I have never booked bikes ahead of time and never heard of them being sold out.

We always walk right up and rent them on the spot if the weather is good. Its never been a problem. I think we have rented bikes on CC at least 18 of our many Disney cruises.

Maybe those they hold to be reserved are sold out but not all they have on the island.

Kind of like Palos. It can be sold out on line for reservation but when you board the ship they always have openings that cant be booked on line.

Bikes are probably the same way. They must have 300 bikes of all different sizes for kids and adults. I've never seen more than maybe 50 people on them at once on the trails. You only rent them for an hour at a time.

There is just no way they could have all those bikes rented for the entire day.

Highly unlikely that they bike rentals are all soldout. I'm willing to bet that you'll be able to rent one just by walking up to the shed on the island.

I suspect most people only keep a bike out for an hour or two so even if they were sold out then, just come back a bit later.

Even if they are sold out, people don't ride them all day long. We have never booked them ahead of time and they've always had quite a few to choose from when we went to rent them.

it certainly does happen!

because it happened to us! i posted about it too after we returned from our April 6 sailing on the fantasy.
bike rentals were "sold out" on the website prior to sailing and when we went to inquire while at CC, we were told there were no bikes available. we were told by another CM there was a "group outing" and that it was possible that bikes would be available later in the day. we never went back and asked again.

Don't sweat it, they will probably be available if you want to ride them. Don't make the mistake I did and reserve them ahead of time, we never rode them, $24 donation to DCL.
