Finally gave up after 40 mins on hold ... have to go into work at some point.

Hopefully it'll be easier to get through around lunch?

In the past have prices increased much during the first few hours?

I'm just looking at the 5nt Magic before the EBTA in May and a couple different Fantasy 7nt Easterns in May/August.

They can go up substantially, it just depends on how popular a sailing and category is.

Apologies if this has been asked a million times before - could someone please tell me where DCL stand on cancelling reservations?

I can't decide between the 2015 EBTA and the 12 night northern europe cruise so thought i oculd book both and cancel whichever one we choose not to do at a later date. Obviously I would not want to pay for having to cancel!

Will this just mess things up for everyone else? I dont want to prevent someone else from booking a category which we may end up cancelling!

The opportunity to sail from the UK seems too good to pass up. Especially as, for once, we won't have to add airfare to the cost of our holiday!

Speaking of the UK - does anyone know if there is a UK number we can call tomorrow?

You can cancel and receive full refund up until the PIF date -- which is 75 days for most US-based closed-loop cruises, and I *think* it's 120 days for repositioning (one-way) or cruises originating in a non-US port. After the PIF date, cancelation penalties begin with deposit (20% even if OBB), then more as the sail date gets closer.

Concierge deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred to another sailing.

AFAIK, it won't necessarily "mess things up," but it will contribute to the ship appearing to be booking up more quickly, which drives pricing up more quickly for the next guy. It could also have the potential of someone not being able to get the category they desire, but technically that would "open up" when you cancelled.

After 40 minutes of not getting through, I celebrated now hearing hold music. I regret that now after 1 hour and 10 minutes of hold music.
