IDIOTS!

Oh my. You're kidding me. Did you get them on the line and they hung up? Or were you just hung up on while still listening to the hold music? I'd be livid!

 

[lbgraves]

Well, I did what I probably shouldn't have done but seeing's how I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown, I went ahead and booked us into a gty cat 8 - it's costing me $8699.72 w/o transfers but does include insurance. What gets me is that I could of booked the cat 6 I wanted this morning for only $200 more.

I'm still hopeful that my TA will pull something out of a hat and I will be pleasantly surprised, but from some to the things I'm reading over on the regular boards I mgiht not.

So, by hook or by crook, I'm in - now it is just a matter of WHERE and WHAT CATEGORY!

There are other boards???

We got on line at 8am.. got an operator telling us we had a 60 min wait at 803 am and at 920 we were talking to a CM.. 1015 we were all booked and ready to sail.. So many decisions to make with 4 people going with us.. UGGG!!!
And then risking the chance of the room guarantee thing.. i do like having my rom # in advance.. but they are telling me I will have the one I like.. so what are we to do??

I'm wondering about this myself. And quite honestly getting a little peeved about it. I could be playing with the website to see what's there. I could try and book something on my own. But I don't want to drive up the prices by playing with ressies. I'm sitting back waiting for an email from my TA. I have no idea if she has gotten through yet. And if she has I have no idea what tier pricing she got for us. But I'm getting more and more upset with all the prices being raised. And the only thing I can believe that is doing it would be the playing around on the site while you are either waiting for your TA or waiting for DCL to pick up the phone.

No it doesn't hold the room. Besides, when you go to book it most of the rooms are coming up saying sorry that room is no longer available.

There are somedays I know that I have totally lost it. DH says I need to not cry about this.

I'm back on the ressie phone again. At least the "yo ho" pirate song is playing as I wait . .. LOL

Here's my challenge:
While onboard 1/13, submitted request for May & Aug REPO.
Called today. Only saw May REPO reserved. Cat 9, QUAD, $5889.96 (w/10% off).
CM couldn't find Augst REPO Reservation!!! Got reservation (and 10% OBD) for a whopping $8424.96 (Cat 9 GTY, QUAD).
Now I go back to the DCL website and the price for Cat 9 is only $8000!!! w/o the discount.

DH said to call back and explain to them that I should have a reservation for AUG and THEY need to fix this!!!

Any suggestions????While I wait on hold . . . AGAIN (was on for almost 2 hours last time!!!)

Firstly thank you for all the congrats re the 3,000 last night.

As far as I am aware I am on! havent read anything else yet, see you later.

The way people are feeling with these price increases & hold times, it might not be too safe for the mouse to show up around here at the moment.

Although some might welcome the chance to take a big bite out of him right now since he's taking such a big bite out of all of us!

 

[Hanover]

I feel sorry for the CMs taking the calls right now. This is how it has been before & lots of people tried to get the word out to warn others so this wouldn't happen again.

The DCL agent did tell me that if the prices dip down at all after Feb. 3 when the deposits are due, we could call to get the difference in prices. I asked if they would automatically refund the cost differences and she said no, I'd have to call.

Still no news from my AAA agent on whether she could get the 10% off of the $11,908 or if she got a higher quote from DCL. I can't comprehend why she couldn't get through on her "special line" and I did (even though I had to wait a long time). She asked if I wanted the Westbound instead because it had a bunch of 6's left! I figured with me asking over 2 weeks ago to secure a category 6 that she'd have been on the phone at 8 AM and at least gotten through before the prices rose nearly $2,000. The original price I saw this morning as $10,008.00 for a 6 without transfers. I thought AAA may be able to beat it!
