8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 2

[windermerejudy]

Okay I mentioned this to Andy but I didn't want to be accused of hitting the rum. Um Lisa's banner in her sig appears & disappears constantly. When I did see it & I copied it into my sig. it came out blank. Andy tried to help & even he couldn't do it & he is waaaay more computer literate than me. Anyway I settled for the black, but just wanted you to know.

Its the Curse of the Black Pearl ..........

hey Lisa----I thought we got rid of you for a few minutes remember you told me to mind the ship........ (not permanently)

I think more people with kids are looking to do the EB also because of school, etc. There is no way I can take my son out of school in May - it is just to close to the end of the school year.

Ditto...​

NP. I knew that. I'm just wiped out and the kids will be home in 45 minutes.

Need a long soak in the bath and kids get the pizza's in! THANKS

my res change just showed up in DU - $4516 for cat 10 2A 1C - no transfers or ins...this has to be after the 10%!

we were thinking double the price of our Nov cruise and then some - this is actually quite a bit less than double the Nov. cruise cost!

FINALLY.......I GOT THROUGH!!!!!!

After being disconnected, I tried again and after about an hour wait, I finally made it.

No actual cabins available....only guarantees. First she said there were only Cat 4s....more than i wanted to spend, but it would get me on and I could always change later. As we were speaking, a Cat 5 came available....and right after that, a Cat 7.....Yippee!!!!!!! Apparently people are calling and cancelling left and right because of double and TRIPLE booking (shame, shame!) Price was $5,826 for 2 adults with my previous 10% discount, which seems awfully low considering all the price increases. Hmmm, that must be my balance after the $1000 deposit. I guess i'll know for sure when I get the confirmation. At least I'm on with the category I wanted. Now I need a drink.....why is the rum always gone? This has been a long day.....

Hi Jeanne-- Eating lunch at my desk at work. I'm glad you are on the boat, have not heard back from my TA yet. I hope she has some good news as I have been working all day and would not be able to call to change my reservations.

Hello everyone! We are in also! Will be me, dh, ds age 11 & dd age 7. My parents are also in our sailing party.

I started calling at 8am.....on hole for an hour, then disconnected. Kept calling back....finally got thru and was told est. wait time was 167 mins. YIKES! Luckily, after about 45 min on hold, a very nice gentleman took my call.

So sorry to hear about all of the frustration everyone has gone thru today. Hope everyone gets what they want!

hrs. for nuthing. saw postings here that they were getting a
real person..after i was on hold - before them...( being connected).

that's why i was still trying...2pm.

The sinking feeling I've had since early this afternoon was my hopes hitting the ocean floor along with Bootstrap Bill. I don't think we'll be signing up with Davy Jones anytime soon and now that I've seen our quote from DU, I tend to doubt that we'll be joining you. Still waiting to see the results from tonight's NYS Lotto before I make my final decision though... "you never know."

(See what you get for following the "rules"? I didn't double book by hitting the confirm button this AM on the DCL site. Oh well... sigh.)

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

From looking at Andrews navs from 2005, this is what I have come up with for time changes...

Day 1 LA

Forward one hour that night

Day 3 CSL

Forward one hour that night

Day 9 TPC crossing

Forward one hour that night

Now, I do not know how Cartagena will add to this mix. They are in the EST, BUT they do NOT follow DLS. So we may not change the clock until after Day 10. (But Panama does do DLS, but I am guessing it won't affect us since we are not getting off there)

Even though Aruba is in the Atlantic time zone (1 hour ahead of the east coast) they do not use DST so the time will not change for that.

Hope I make sense. At least something else to talk about.

That is correct, and last time I did Cartagena to panama on Princess We did not change the clocks!

 

[windermerejudy]

I couldn't get early dining for 4 people at 8:41 am EST.

I'm going to wait until tomorrow to even bother trying to switch (or waitlist) that. How much power do you wield with linking dining Lisa?

Hey Judy - where are you (on the ship)? Deck 2 right?

Don't worry about the dining thing we will link you to us if you want.

"M" ----read slowly I AM NOT ON THE SHIP ........I AM AT HOME!!!!!!!

Seriously--yes deck 2 --2602, 2604,2606
Roger and family are in 2612?
who was it that had 2614 and 2616?
Can you say block party?

Very Happy For You

Cheers!

Just wanted to jump in and say Hello as we are booked on the Repo as of this morning and I have been trying to follow the thread (it moves way fast).

We are myself (Julie) and DH (Matt) and we're excited (ok I am - he's at work and doesnt know yet). I'm also hoping to convince our other friends who are cruising to join this thread but again - it's a fast mover!

Wow! This looks like a reasonable price. I sure hope DU comes through for me too..
as of yet, my ressie on their site has not been updated to show the repo cruise either. Could this just be busy work for the TA and the reservation has been made? Say at 8:03 am this morning so I got a great price too? Would a TA make a reservation first then transfer the existing ressie to that later? I just don't want to think my reservation hasn't even been made yet. If so, it might be worth waiting until just after May 19,2008 to book this trip when 20-30% or more drop off from not making final payment. Then maybe they'll start offering all those great incentives...
