7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 4

August 23-30, 2011 – 7nt Alaska cruise

Category 5C

Total $6202.52 (includes 10% off for transferring on board "dummy" reservation)

My TA did all the work as usual because she is the best!

I would go with 1:45 . . . since you are supposed to be at check in for international flights three hours before, it means you would have to get there at 8 for the earlier one - and things can be unpredictable.

Morning Robert,

I haven't flown out of Barcelona before but in the interest of not having to listen to your wife if you would happen to miss the 11:00 flight I would book the 1:45 flight to be safe. I know that I'll be booking the later flight out of London for our flight home so we don't have to worry about missing the earlier flight. Just my thought for you.

Yeah I think it makes sense 11AM seems a bit early, we are not scheduled to get into Barcelona untill 7AM in the morning that cuts it a bit to close!

I think I will book on Wednesday!

Congrats Julie. Caro and I are still waiting on my TA to get back to us. She has several clients to book and I've heard the wait times are hurrendous so I'm sitting here patiently waiting for her to call.

Those couple of hours will be peace of mind for you. Besides it give the DW more time to shop in the airport.

I would hope TA's get a special number to call!

They do have a special number to call but still get thrown into the queue with the rest of the calls. Their hold times can be just as long.

Well, at least they probably didn't have to listen to the busy signal on the CC line like I did!

Have you gotten thru to make your booking and what cruise are you booking?

 

[jilljill]

Julie is your ressie showing under your CC log-in yet?

I haven't even tried yet! Let me try and get back with you . . .

Robert, I'm pretty sure it didn't show up over the weekend since my TA just called this morning, but I never looked either!

 

[bellelinus]

Barb, the reservation is there under my upcoming cruises . . . wow, that was fast!

Still nothing showing up under mine and I haven't noticed anyone posting prices/ressies for the 8/9/11 cruise. Now I'm starting to get impatient.

 

[jilljill]

Heard from the TA about an hour ago and we are booked in a cat. 7A, 7620, for the 8/9/2011 Alaska cruise. Caro, Andrew and the girls are just a few doors up the hall from us. The ressie is showing up on the CC site under my cruise plans.
I was happy with the price: total with 10% onboard booking discount is $4,921.89 plus $275 OBC. This is for 2 adults and 1 17yo.

Congratulations!

Thanks

Since you will be going before us we want to hear all about it when you get home.

We are on 8/23, so I think your cruise will be over before I even leave

I guess I've been seeing too many numbers this morning and thought you were going the end of July. I guess we'll have to tell you all about it then.

No, keep thinking the earlier time . . . I'm going to have fun feeding you fake information about all the wonderful things I saw and did: " Be sure to go up to Christiaan and ask him to sign your bottom -- if you do that and show your bottom to the on board booking woman you get a free cruise! Really!" and "Bring a harness and rope for hanging off the side of the ship to get closer views of the whales - Disney encourages this but charges $500 to provide the equipment."
