Like you said, the final balance won't be so bad, but DCL has my money for almost 2 years instead of me.

If it would have made a difference in the long run we could have just booked a new ressie to get the 50% deposits and had PJ reshop it on her cruise but not worth it IMO either.

Guess I will be quiet about it. SHHHH.

Angie, your original OBB must have been made in 2008 when the 50% was active. Is it from the WBPC repo perhaps?

The list in the CC tier thread is from a TA.

I was told by the CM that as gold we get $275. He read the information from one of his information sheets that they got with their packet yesterday before the phone lines opened. Plat is $350.

Hey Robin!!!!

"Got Disney" · 09-23-2009, 01:02 PM

Morning everyone....or afternoon depending where you live.....

It is a hot day here today, 100 already

and it is only 10:53

. The winds are blowing hot air and am on Horse rescue alert in case of fires in SD. They are already sprouting up in LA.

Right about know It would feel good on the deck of the Wonder in Alaska. Dh and I are thinking maybe if the Dream does the 7 days in the Caribbean also in 2011(big if)....we will just do this cruise and that cruise

Hot than cold or cold than hot.... Coffee and umbrella drinks...

ahhhhh life is good..... we are also thinking about doing the MR Christmas cruise....good lord we just cant make up our minds. In the perfect world we would just do all 3....

Has anyone here ever been to Alaska before or been to these ports????

We are planning on staying in Vancouver for 304 days before the cruise to take in the sights. Anyone else???

pjpoohbear · 09-23-2009, 01:23 PM

We have a nest full of robins on this cruise.

I will update the roll call this evening.

Angie you booked a brand new booking right? That would be why you paid only $300/person. The rest of us geeks transferred old onboard bookings, so we are locked into full deposits, but we get obc. $275 will cover tips and the whale watching or train tour I would love to take, hmmmm.

No, she transferred a booking that had the 50% deposit on it that was made in 2008. Our bookings were done on the 2006 cruise probably and didn't have the 50% deposit so they have to stay that way. DCL is making this the most confusing booking opening EVER!!!
