Hello fellow Pirates . . or should I say, Mateys . . .

Well we are definitely on this cruise!! Cat 9 GTY.

I talked with a lovely CM Supervisor today (after another 45 minute wait). Apparently the waitlist that we requested on board the 1/13 cruise is still on the ship . . .LOL. Well, at least the paperwork. She is going to see what the original says. Then we can talk about the price. The good news is that
WE ARE ON THE SHIP!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, I've got to send the email to DU.

Folks thanks for all the help today. I would have been totally lost without this wonderful group of knowledgeable DISers. Even DH has started saying, "What are they saying on the DIS boards??" LOL Can't wait to sail with you!

Back to school for me . . .

The reason why you don't have a quote back yet is because they are getting all of pricing with DCL first and then then updating quotes and getting them out to clients.

For those of you who are not happy with your quotes, I am sorry. It was a huge hassle getting through to Disney Cruise Line this morning both on the phone and through the online bookings. At one point a DCL agent told me that had 300 calls on hold in the queue - and the website kept crashing just as a reservation was being completed.

I realize none of this matters when it is your reservation that is affected, but believe me when I say all of the DU TA's are working very hard for their clients.

I just recieved a message from someone (not a DU agent) who is on the phone booking for her family and has been on hold for over 3 hours and asked if there was some way I could help her. This tells me that everyone is having similar problems.

Again, not trying to make excuses. I just want everyone to know that DU is working hard to get them their quotes in as timely a manner as possible and I am sorry if anyone is not happy.

Thanks for listening.

OK, I don't think that I posted what we ended up getting.

5502 7802.96 2A 2K no trans or ins after 10% OBC taken off. (cat 8)

Great well done!

( Now we know the deck to avoid, I am up three decks from that) Only joking!

Isnt 5502 opposite the laundry????

 

[Verandah Man]

ANDY are you guys going?? is this going to be a mini reunion cruise again??

We are still waiting for our quote to come in, and we'll go from there!!!

 

[ChrizJen]

OK, so when I transfer my ressies to DU, their cancellation terms are the same as DCL, right? If for some reason I have to cancel (hopefully not going to happen, and I won't have to worry about it!) I will get a full refund right?

Wow, for our cat 9 w/ins (but 2A 2K - 2 Adults, 2 Kids - now I understand) ours was $8424.96. Yikes!

Okay, I have a 2:30 meeting with a new website client. Better get back to work so I can pay for the extravaganza!

I left all the turmoil over booking today to my TA, and let's hope that it pays off! I received the following email from her around 9 AM:

"I have a room on hold for you
I will get back to you shortly with prices"

But still haven't heard regarding the prices -- hopefully the price will reflect the room being held fairly early in the morning.

You can be subscribed without getting the e-mails.

Is it alright for me to include the Pirate Reposition Repossesion logo in my sig? If so, how do I link it? As it looks like I need an URL?
