I finally got through after over two hours. Interesting, I had two cell phones and a landline going, and the first phone to get through was the last one I got through on, about 15 minutes after the others! It seemed the CC number was better than the other one, even though it gave me a busy signal for a while.
The other two lines came through while I was on the phone, I just canceled them. Hopefully that gets others through quickly.
We booked the following:
July 5, 2011 sailing
Cat T, three adults w/insurance $12,990.89 ($800 pp deposit)
Cat 4A, two adults w/insurance $7,926.26 ($300 pp deposit)
Couldn't get connecting rooms, but got two rooms next door to each other.
Transportion is $49/pp round trip. Not included in above.
There was a category R available for August 16 sailing, but we couldn't do that cruise. Otherwise no R (Walt/Roy suites) available for Alaska. But I think that will change as inventory control works through the list of their pre bookings.
I got some information on the pre-post stay hotels. There are three hotels:
Fairmon Pacific Rim ($345 for 3 people, $294 for 2 people)
Fairmont Airport ($300 for 3 people, $249 for 2 people)
Fairmont Waterfront ($325 for 3 people, $274 for 2 people)
