4/24/2010 Med cruise: Friends, Romans, Countrymen lend me your Ears

We are going to keep one of our rooms from the TA for the MED. Had to pay out more money but at least we don't have to impose on all our DIS friends to keep our hanging clothes during transition and I can avoid packing up and moving that day.

So, we are keeping one of the balcony rooms. Asked DCL to give us an inside room close to the balcony we are keeping. Per DCL we can't even have the same deck. Balcony on 7, inside on 6. Oh well, they are starting to annoy me :)

That must be so frustrating, especially seeing people being moved around with no rhyme or reason, you'd think it wouldnt' be hard to accomodate a simple request. This is of course not begrudging anyone who got an upgrade (or who will!).

Hopefully you'll be moved yet...keeping my fingers crossed for you. BTW where on deck 7 are you? we're on deck 7 as well.
 
I second that! :thumbsup2

Perhaps you can whip me up a magnet reflecting my feelings :lmao:

We are 7102. Where are you guys at?
 

We just booked last week, is it to late to play?:banana:

We just join this cruise. Looking forward to meeting you. My DW and DD are joining me.

Welcome Aboard to all our new cruisers!!!

to all those who've received upgrades!!

Although we have a great stateroom - is it too horrible to be wishing for some pixie dust too? We've never gotten any upgrade and although we don't expect it - it sure would be really nice :hippie:

Sending lots of

to everyone still waiting stateroom assignments and also hoping everyone gets upgrades :thumbsup2

Not at all! I was thinking the same thing...

Jeanne we're in 7088 and 7090, so only about 15 cabins down?!?! :rotfl:

Always good to wish for pixie dust! Even though I haven't gotten any on these two cruises, DCL has dusted us well in the past :)

Even closer I think, like maybe 5 cabins in between :)
 
I got our assignments, but I am now afraid to tell anyone what we received...because I'm afraid of making people mad :upsidedow

I know it must be frustrating for those of you that booked long ago and are paying higher than people that just booked. On the upside...you have had all these months to be excited and to dream and to plan. Meanwhile, I am staying up all hours of the night planning a trip that would normally take me a year to properly plan (I am really picky:rotfl:). I totally sympathize with your position, and probably would be calling Disney if it were me. But again, on the upside, you are soon going to be going on a simply amazing life experience, so don't let these random upgrades take away from that. Many people booking recently took a major chance...granted, many have been upgraded amazingly, but it just as easily could have worked out otherwise with the least desirable inside cabins. You pay to book late or a GTY by gambling...sometimes it pays off, and judging by the number of people getting upgraded, jackpots are being hit more often than usual.

I would just hate these discount/upgrade issues to taint this amazing experience for you!
 
I was working on the FE groups last night (on the website) - trying to balance # of people, kids, etc. - so don't take them as the LAST WORD - although I doubt I'll do anything more than add the final cabin to each.

Just wanted to say ...

Please post it!

The problem is not with the people getting the upgrades it is how DCL does it.

Post please!
 
I second Brooklyn! Besides, I need to know where to deposit your FE gift...
 
Me too! Me too! :yay::yay:I don't want to have to pick some random door to leave your FE. "Eenie meenie" doesn't always work in my favor :rotfl2:

I don't think anyone is mad at anyone else getting the upgrades. It's exciting to see what everyone is getting!
 
Ah, okay. Promise no one will go to bed crabby! Certainly not me, because I am bouncing off the walls excited.

All three of the couples (our two "travel with" couples and us) were assigned three cabins in a row, which is exciting by itself, but also Cat 6:cool1:. Yeah, pretty happy.

We are 6130. We will have an FE list though, right, before everyone leaves for the TA? Because as of right now, I have no idea where everyone is located. But my FE is super cute:rotfl: And my gifts to everyone just arrived, and I love them! Not sure if Jill is participating (Caroline'sMom), she is 6128, I think she said she was participating.

Oh, BTW, we were cat 11.

Just wanted to say that I totally agree with you on this, and as a GTY 12 cruiser still waiting for a room assignment, would like to say congrats for your upgrade.

Perhaps Disney needs to add one little checkbox to their IT reservation systems, that allows customers booking a specific rooms to mark they are willing to receive an upgrade. Because some of people put a lot of thought into making their room location decisions, and don't want to move.

Were you CAT 11's GTY?
 
Dicecatt! Congratulations. Woohoo again! Fantastic news especially 3 cabins all in a row.

I didn't even think about this. Good point though Lara.
 
Congrats!

Were you CAT 11's GTY?

Yes, we were! I know some 11s aren't assigned yet, my best guess is they are hitting the "travel with" reservations first. Perhaps 12s will be tomorrow!

Last time we were cat 12, we were upgraded to a 10 and a 9 (two cabins). But this cruise...so much availabilty still! They are still selling every category.

That is great! I would have never thought I would see such amazing upgrades as I have seen on the TA and this one. To be honest the 11's were a lot higher priced then the 12's (which is not always the case). It is like DCL rewarding you for not just taking the "cheaper" way. Which I can totally understand. YEAH for you!!! I am sure your whole travel party is super excited!!! :cool1:

I do however feel bad for Charlotte as she had booked a higher category then the last 2 people who have posted their upgrades to verandahs and she has stayed in a CAT 9. It is like booking b2b has worked against some people which sucks for them. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you Charlotte that something changes!!!
