ALASKA - August 30th, 2011 - Mickeys Mooseketeers & the last Alaskan Cruisade! New Th

[PBader]

We are planning on taking the quick shuttle from Seattle into Vancouver. When I was reading the FAQ Vancouver thread they mention there is a coupon in the Entertainment book for 50% off for 2 people. RT is $99 each. Entertainment has a deal right now for $15 a book, additional ones are $10 with free shipping. I verified there is an online coupon for this. You pay for the shuttle and then you have to mail it in for the refund. But a ggreat deal to save $99. I ordered 3 books to have enough for my party.

Tracy I will be sure to tell them we are in the same group and I will let you know for sure whether or not we book this

 

[poohj80]

Is the coupon good if we only plan to go one way?

Thanks!

 

[PBader]

It should be, you can purchase one way or round trip tickets. It just says it is good for 50% off It wouldn't be as great of a savings, but still save you some $$

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

You can buy entertainment cards on ebay really cheap - just the card - for about 2.99 usually, take that number, put it online, and you have an 'entertainment book' so you can print coupons

I see we have outside and up left on our cruise -I imagine some upsell calls will come soon.
I would kill for a verandah, but not in the budget this time

Never received an upsell call...how early are they usually made and how good are the offers typically?

 

[MPS516]

They are releasing the 2012 Sailing info tomorrow at 1p. Added departures from New York, Galveston and Seattle. AND announcing their April 29 special 15 night cruise to Hawaii

New York 8 night Bahamas will include a stop at Port Canaveral with a 1 day Park Hopper and transportation Others will be a 5 night Canada and 2 night cruise to nowhere. Galveston is western Caribbean and Seattle is Alaska. Dream and Fantasy will do the duty from Port Canaveral

Can't wait to board the Dream in 2 weeks and head straight for the re-booking desk

I would also love an up sale call but I don't think it will happen. We have an ocean view right now and would love a verandah too.

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

I don't know - but think they may have done some for the 2 cruises before us - they were showing nothing but higher priced verandah and suite available for a long time and now all of a sudden there are ocean view and lower verandahs. We have no inside left, and they can sell these easier to fill the ship - maybe soon?

 

[poohj80]

I'll definitely post if we get a phone call.

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

Just made final payment!! OMG its so real now!
Love the dollar right now - I only paid $1060 canadian for my final $1100 payment!!

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

I am bummed to report that we will have to bow out of this cruise with everyone.

For the last couple of weeks we have been cutting parts of our vacation as money has gotten really tight. As a result, we were not going to be able to see Victoria, BC which was one of the things I really wanted to see. We were having trouble finding our way to Vancouver as well. We have family in Seattle and I want to see them and then go to Vancouver. Everything was very expensive so I was going to have to cut my family visit as well.

When they announce the 2012 sailings..it seemed like we had our answers...We could go to Alaska in 2012 - out of Seattle and get to see Victoria. Everything was a win-win with the exception of postponing the cruise (we had already postponed it from 2010) and not getting to cruise with all of you.

I am really sorry as I know I started this thread. I don't know if there is a way to put someone else in charge of the updating outside of starting a new thread. DH says the logo that was posted should work fine for everyone for shirts and signs. Let me know if youhave an issue and I will be happy to work with you to get it to work for you.

I hope to cruise with all of you soon!

 

[Chirple]

I'm sorry you have to cancel this cruise. Thanks for starting this thread and creating the logo; you did a great job!

 

[PBader]

Congrats Liz~~That's a WONDERful feeling to be paid in full

Des, I am so sorry to hear that you all are cancelling, but I totally understand the reasoning behind it. This is by no means an inexpensive cruise especially when you throw the travel into it. Are you doing the pirate reunion cruise June 23rd?

I'll transfer the info from the 1st post to a new one if you will put a link to it on the top of yours and I'll keep it updated

Hi all... just as I am finishing up my FE gifts, I have fallen and broken my ankle... so this cruise is in jeopardy of being cancelled/postponed until next year, at least for me... Depends on how much of my personal vacation time I have to use and how much is covered by my employer, it was a work related accident, so I don't know for sure yet...

 

[PBader]

Oh Betsy, my ankle hurts thinking about yours. Hope it heals quickly for you


Well I am officially PIF today

Made reservations last night for the Sutton Place booked 2 bedroom rooms. Slowly but surely it is coming together

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

Oh no! A broken foot! that isn't good.

Sorry for the OP who had to cancel too - but it does make sense.

When this came out today I did think to myself 'disney might have shot themselves in the foot now for this summer' - I think a LOT of people will rebook for 2012 and we are going to see a bunch of openings now. Airfare is outrageous and getting to Vancouver from Seattle is a pain.
This is why we are going on this cruise- we don't have to travel to seattle to fly somewhere to go on vacation for the first time!!!

I've noticed a majority of the cabins above are on the starboard side of the ship. Is this just conincidence or is this the preferred viewing side?

Thanks!

We had no option. We were wait listed and it is what came available but we do enjoy the view when they back into Castaway Cay.

We're always on that side for Castaway Cay, just wondered if we were misisng something in Alaska everyone else knew.
