8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #7

[captaincrash]

Done it now.

The on line check in came available for me about 9am today, thats 4 hours after the 00.01 (usa) 5AM here it should have come available. Yes you have to put in passport nos etc.

Good Morning Andrew!

And I thought you of ALL people should have had no trouble timing the ressie thing last nite?

Hope you (and everyone else) gets what they're looking for in the way of advance ressies! Me, I'm relying on my TA and her handy dandy DCL group coordinator to handle my needs.

Got to say I still thing the process last night was a total *joke*, and at one point I felt like canceling my 2009 cruise.

We all knew this was going to happen DCL said it wouldnt and it did, even the Wonder cruise had problems.

The bumping out, the not paid in full, the someone Else is accessing your reservation, was so frustrating, I have never ever had that before, I was so pleased I pre booked Cabo and PV in advance, they were in the bag, and Aruba my own private tour.

I didn't have to do to much just Cartagena and Acapulco, a brunch and a dinner.

But for many its a total lottery.

Sorry for anyone who had problems, well done on any room number assignments.

Now to plan for Disneyland Paris.

Good morning, everyone!

All I can say is WOW! What an interesting and frustrating process. We tried to get into the DCL site at 12:01 - at 12:55 we turned off the computers and went to bed. Our systems never even got to the site, it just kept timing out.

When I went on this morning at 5:30, I was able to book the Best of in Cartagena and the Acapulco Divers. For Palo, the only offerings for 2 were for dinner and we will try and book brunch at a later time -- I know some of you can see some Brunch openings; however, I have been checking for the last hour and nothing for 2. Our only other excursion is the Signature Dolphins in PV that Disney booked prior (the 11 to 2 time).

Many, many thanks for everyone who posted what was happening. This is our first time trying to book on-line and it was good to hear that some were getting into the site and it was working. It was also equally good to hear that others were either seeing what I was and then I knew it was not only me. Sorry, I guess misery really does enjoy company!! So glad to hear that almost everyone did get what they wanted, sans Brunch -- I will take the advise of the "wise ones" and keep looking closer to the 75 day mark.

Stacey -- Thank you, thank you!! Your words of wisdom and encouragement took the level of frustration down a level. The posting of times for excursions prior to last night also was a huge help in deciding what we were considering.

I hope everyone has a good day and for those on Holiday today -- Victoria Day here in Canada -- enjoy!!

See everyone in 90 days,

Michele

Well Its the worst one I have ever done, I am sooooo pleased I have a Cat 3 for next year so I do not have to worry about this, and so glad I prebooked so much to soften the blow of this mayhem.

I told everyone, I two months ago I went forward with the Doctor to do this and have three hours of scuba mickeys Its so bad I cannot change that time-line!

I hope so!!! This is the time we booked too!

Sorry it was so bad for you,

I had a recent look and some of my predictions ran very true.

Dolphins- (anyone any port) was sold out very quickly,
Horseback also sold out quickly.
Some small boat trips sold out.

[Andrew DEREK UK]

I hope so!!! This is the time we booked too!

In 2005 we were gong through the last lock during dinner I was in Lumière's and we saw the lock walls, it did get dark quickly I remember it was dark by the middle of the meal as I had a quick walk to deck 4, between courses.

Horseback in PV was never available
Dolphins in Acapulco still showing available

Interesting Acapulco had gone when I looked, maybe someone canceled.

-Not the observer?

 

[radioclash2]

No sure which I'm more jealous of - WDW or booking!



Brunch is available right now!

Can't find the original Stace, but I hope your dad is better this morning.

[radioclash2]
