August 23-30, 2011 – 7nt Alaska cruise

Category 5C – two adults, two kids (16,14)

Total $6202.52 (reflects 10% discount from transferring an onboard reservation)

My TA did this so I'm not sure what the wait time was - good luck to all of you still waiting.

Not a bad price. Your quote is exactly what I would ask for but I am looking for 7/26. Did they quote you any other dates?

I'm a TA and called 758 and told it wasn't open yet. I hung up and called right back. After getting all the announcements at 801 am I was told that I had 102 minute wait. I'm still waiting. Been trying to go online but I'm told my Castaway registration name doesn't match my ID #. I tried to re-register and was told I'm already registered. I went into get my ID # and I copied it and pasted it and I'm told it's still wrong. I'm frustrated but not hanging up.

Good luck to everyone. Hope everyone gets want they want.

You can't book online today anyway so deal with that later.

Congrats on snagging a SPH I'm hoping to get one for June 7, but after such a long wait I'm not optimistic.

Lisa,
Your original post did appear, but once you have the prices copied over, maybe you can just close this thread unless there is some reason to keep a record of the wait times and frustrations over being disconnected.

It will stay stuck until 9/28 so that those CC members can find it for price reference. I looked up the threads from the 1/31/07 & 10/14/08 bookings and skimming through them brought back the anxiety from the day as well as some of the laughs. At least when people ask what to expect for phone wait times next year and don't believe us when we say hours we can just post the link.

My time is dewindling away. I am going to have to hang up if I don't get someone in the next few minutes - aka when my boss gets here.

DH is in the same "boat". He has a meeting at 11am

i'm on hold too...called in at 8am,was given a 66 minute hold time....which has come and gone 15 minutes ago.

i have to say i am surprised with the amount of disboards members that so few of us are getting through and posting prices. there's alot of chatter about everyone being on hold, and being disconnected (yikes!), but not nearly as many posts about those getting through.

so if we are not getting through, then who is????????

 

[trekygirl26]

we decided to book through DU instead of waiting on the phone this morning, and when i went online to check on a reservation we have for november, i noticed that we had a reservation for the repo cruise!!!! i couldn't access the reservation yet, but it's there! It showed up on the Castaway Club page under "View your cruises."

 

[Wachsdds]

What price did you get for June 14. I'm in the same cabin on May 31. I paid $2609 for 2 adults no transfer, no insurance.

 

[joksten2000]

Now that I have the Dollars for the trip I want to know the points They have to transfer me to a specialist for the Alaska cruises

 

[sandiedvc]

I am poised with both my home and business phone lines, and Tony is poised to start dialing with our fax line. I wish they didn't have that stupid long introductory thing that plays now (at least on the line I am using) before you find out if they're open yet or not.

with all the cruises you took, dcl should of let you book last week

 

[bellelinus]

Sorry, but my TA did this so I have no idea! I had selected this date in part because I suspected the end of summer cruises would be less expensive, and also because I like to have some kind of vacation "blow out" at the end of the summer. I was happy with the price. Good luck and I hope you get what you want!

Alaska 5/24 C5B $4487.26 2A0K, no xfers yes insurance

 

[Cindy Girl]

I have been on hold for 90 minutes ...well past the 55 I was quoted. I am exhausted as I got up at 4:45am to start calling....baby will be up soon....then what????

 

[zakerdog]

Does anybody have a per adult price yet for a cat 7? Appreciate any info - thanks.

 

[ct7878]

I will ask when I get through and post the info in the first post on this thread...if someone else doesn't confirm or get different info first.

Unfortunately, that is how I understood it to be, based on the conversation I had with the CM who booked my trip. He stated that the half price promotion would end as of this Wednesday.
