6/13/2009 Western on Magic

[Brooklyn]

Go back and check now -- there is almost no availabilty left. They put out a whole block of Cat 12's late last week and filled the ship. Now Cat 11 & 10's & 9's are only as guarantees from what I could see, with 2 8's left.

That keeps changing. I keep checking oh like every 5 minutes! It has been changing all day.

We were fortunate and upgraded to two cat 9's on deck 2. First time we ever booked GTY 12 and I was afraid we may not get an upgrade. Was really hoping for two connecting rooms but we will make do with side-by-side.

Hoping that there are more upgrades coming for others who haven't received an upgrade.

Where are you? There are several of un on Deck 2.

 

[triplefigs]

Having never cruised, for upgrades do they go by the Cat you originally booked or the Cat you are in currently? Ie to upgade now (after room assignments) do you pay the difference from a 12- 6 (even though you are assigned a Cat 9 now), or is from a Cat 9 to a Cat 6?

Would there be a price difference in upgrading now vs at the port? We aren't (very happy with what we got), but I was just curious with everything that happened today.

My TA told me there might be problems when linking reservations. Unfortunately, this is what happened... I am sorry for the ones who didn't get what you wanted or preferred.

Hopefully, there will be a chance to upgrade once at port.

Congrats to the ones who got awesome upgrades!

"IMO" ~ You take a gamble when you allow DCL to choose your room... but you got a great deal. I paid almost full price for my cat 10 rm# 7505 *originally 2139 ~ I up-decked!* I am not a gambler & prefer to pick exactly where I want to be. Is it a better room than what I originally had? I have no idea but just glad to have a room.

Donna/Diane ~ you are only 2 decks below me! And closer to the bars!!!

I hope the disappointment wears off & everyone can continue planning OUR FANTABULOUS UPCOMING DISNEY MAGICAL CRUISE!!! Just think there are A LOT of people who can not even afford a vacation let alone a Disney vacation!

We have never done it but from what I understand, if you wish to pay for an upgrade at the port it will be based on the differnce of what you 1st paid.
So-for example you pay for CAT 12 ( but were upgraded to a Cat 9 - you will still be paying the difference from the Cat 12 not the Cat 9)and you want a Cat 6 you will pay the difference from CAT 12 to CAT 6.
Thats why you can take the Chance and save the money with the GYT VS paying and knowing what you will get for sure.

OUR TA never told Diane this! I knew, being a cruiser, but figured TA would do the right thing timing-wise.

I'll defintely need to be closer to the bars !!!

This is why I started the Great rates Thread because the prices for June and July are always so high, even normally for a Cat 12 or 11, so I am so happy just to go and save so much money and not have to worry about taking the kids out of school and it is a true Summer Vacation!!!!

Ok, so who is on deck 6 with us?? Just wondering.

 

[djd7292]

Sorry to interrupt...

Jayde's ultrasound came back normal but she is still having abdominal pain (traveling to the left region) ~ sees Dr again Wed.

A friend was stating it could be an ulcer?!?!

 

[DisneyPoly]

Just think ... you could be me ... who panicked about the flu and cancelled my two GTY 12's, got my money back and am now sad that I'm not going ... in fact, I just called to see if I could rebook ... I still may be going ... will keep you posted.

WOO HOO... that would be great ~ good luck!

HUM?? Is she feeling any better??

Her pain comes & goes... it is not extremely painful but she has been complaining for about 2 weeks.

I hope they can find out what the pain is. Could it be colitis, Chrohn's? What about ovarian pain?

It could also be residual pain from something else - that was my ending diagnosis. I had ab pain that radiating to the left and now constant on the left. I had ultrasound, ct scans and xray - no answer - they have no clue what it could be. I hope her pain goes away or they figure out what it is.

 

[DisneyBaby2004]

I think that that is probably too many dress shirts for DH as he will probably only wear them for a couple of hours. I would think 4-5 would be more than enough.

Okay - that makes sense. I can try to cut them down. I am trying to limit the suitcases to one 29" two 25" and one 21" (that one will have FE, alcohol and water) . I managed to fit the kids clothes into one 25" together. Which I also think I overpacked. Are any of you bringing beach towels or blankets for the room? These five weeks (yes I am counting this as five now) feel like they are going to fly by I found by clock radio so I am excited I don't have to purchase one.

 

[IndyRosa20]

I got category 9 rooms 2536 and 2538. Reports say they are noisy, but I can sleep thru anything... (I have twins, believe me I learned to sleep when I could!)

looks like 2538 & 2540 are connecting... wish we would have gotten that,... But I'm not complaining...

Hey SUZCRUISE ! I have cabins 2540 and 2542 ! And, we're from Indiana too!!!!!!!!!! Where do you live ??? I saw that too about #2538 and #2540 too, being connected... that's kind of silly to me, since we reserved two cabins...must not be too uncommon for Disney to do...

 

[nikkistevej]

Well congrats to all with upgrades!! Yeah for us!!(really I'm just happy to get my room number- LOL

 

[Disneyanna1]

I am trying but it is NOT working. I am so sick over it. I had exactly what I wanted and let it go. It is a lesson learned. I am NOT a gambler so I should have known better.

We are on level 1 too. We bought 2 cat. 12 rooms because it was cheaper at the time than booking 1 cat. 12 for 4 people. I am a travel agent and requested connecting rooms and didn't get it, so it is the luck of the draw. We paid an amazing price, so I'm just grateful we got upgraded and got rooms side by side. The cat. 9 is about 40 more sq. feet than the cat. 12. One Disney cruise agent said we could possibly be all the way across the ship from each other! I read the stateroom reviews and it says it's nice and quiet as there are not a lot of people/kids banging down the halls, plus you get awseome water views as you are so low. Also, it's not as rocky at the bottom of the boat. Cheer up! I know it's disapointing (I'd rather be up higher as well), but I never spend too much time in the rooms anyway.
