Booking day for dvc member cruise tomorrow!!

[CarolAnnC]

Off the phone now. We got our 8C!! Yay, everything was still available as of right now except the 8B.

Hang in there everyone. I almost had heart failure when my phone started beeping though, lol. Be prepared and don't hang up if you get a ring. They will get to you all.

Wish I could go back to bed, but cannot sleep with all this excitement!

We got through right away at 8 am (miracle). We are cabin 9660 cat 8B!! I am so excited!!!!!!

CarolAnn,
We also have the late seating with the 7PM show. Thought that would be best. This is our first cruise without our little girl, so hopefully we will be ready to party!!!!

We like the show before dinner and with 8:30 seating, we thought the 7pm show would work ok.

Whooo hooo what a sense of accomplishment. Though the lines are jammed, remember the ship has a much larger capacity than prior Member Cruises, so I feel all those calling this morning should be fine with their bookings. By this afternoon, could be another story though. We shall watch the Member Website to update on the booking categories and the availability.


Hang in there everyone!

Hoping for a cat 5B....Somewhere in the middle of the ship. The DVC site is still showing 8:35 as the last update.

I'm very happy for everyone who was able to get through, but this is terrible - still busy, busy and I can't even get into a queue to speak with someone. Didn't DVC prepare for this with extra incoming phone lines to at least get people on hold?

Congrats, you are now on your way to booking!

 

[alikat99]

Urg!!! Still just busy, busy, busy!! Sadly, I'm going to have to give up soon!

Booking an 8A. It's available but they won't guarentee a stateroom number.

Well someone screwed up. Not sure if it was MS or DCL. Requested 8A, was charged points for an 8A, but DCL website shows 8C.

Don't really care that it's an 8C, but the cost is different. Not in the mood to try all day to get the points fixed.

agree!!!!!

Not sure if it matters, but I stopped dialing the 800# and started dialing the 407#. That is when I finally made it in?

I always dial the 407 number. Mostly because I'm in Central Florida and it's local call.

They do prepare. It is an "all hands on deck" day for DVC and they are going to be working nonstop all day long, and will handle all the calls on hold when their day officially ends at 5:30 pm EST. So if anyone is on hold at that time, absolutely do not hang up as they will take all calls holding till they are completed.

It is frustrating, believe me I know. But the reward will be great! I am very excited to sail the Dream and there will be lots of special events with the DVC 20th Anniversary being celebrated!

Sorry, I am in Virginia.

That worked for me a few years back. I've been dialing both numbers on two different phones with no luck so far.

Hang in there. Pixie dust your way!
