How do you get on this cruise? We would love to do the preview cruise. Do you have to be a TA or media? Alex

 

[casacoco]

gigi,
i signed up for the cruise yesterday on the disney travel agent sight. it was sold out today.

 

[dsnymoners]

I am on it!!!! Can't wait. Glad there are a few other DIS on here!!!!

 

[SeeJ]

Oops... I just realized this is for the 1/23 cruise. So used to clicking on the top cruise that it slipped past me. =)

 

[gigi1313]

as you can see from my abridged signature, (no more cruise ticker) my computer had a meltdown during the registration period and i was unable to register... like a zillion other agents, i'm waitlisted... and very disappointed!! congrats to those that got in!!

Can you answer this!

Alex I believe it is TA preview.

 

[gigi1313]

there will be other groups aboard (although i'm not sure who they are or how they got on, i did see a contest advertising sailing on the preview cruise a few weeks ago somewhere) but predominantly disney's EarMarked travel agents...

 

[marlower]

I'll be on it with you too!! I'm so excited!

 

[mygr8kdz]

I was surprised to see a meet for this one - but yes, I'll be onboard! So excited to have my family join me. As a very unexpected surprise, I have also won a stateroom on the 2 night Christening Event cruise on 1/19!

Gigi - wow - that is horrible that you couldn't complete the registration. I hope your waitlist comes through. I got my registration in as soon as it opened, but within an hour, I noticed when trying to go back and add in details (passport numbers and such) that the site kept timing out.

pixie dust that the waitlist fairies work some magic for you!

 

[lindym]

I'm in, can't wait for the conference and especially the DREAM!!!!!

I'm so sorry, I must have skipped right over this post and didn't realize you were unable to register! Keep us posted on the waitlist.

Do I dare ask....??? Is the price the same as what they are calling the Maiden Voyage or is it a "complimentary cruise"

 

[gigi1313]

neither... the price is very favorable, but certainly not free, and agents were advised that not all services will be up and running, some things (like kids' clubs) will have limited hours, etc...

 

[Eeyore1928]

I am on...with DH and DD. I was not told about limited hours in kids club? Hmmmm...hopefully they are open at night as we would love to just walk the ship without being pulled all over the place! Super excited about being able to tell my clients all about the ship. I will be taking 10000 pics to show everyone. This is going to be very informative! We are giving this to DD as a Christmas surprise...we are booked for B2b on Dream in September and she has been counting down...she will flip over this. She is getting a 7 night on the Magic for her birthday...so the Dream is only fitting for Christmas!

I hope Ivanna Dream is onboard!!!!

 

[J&K'sPrincessMommy]

DH & I will be onboard!

Gigi
I was having problems with it timing out on me as well, I am seriously hoping something magical happens this week for you guys.

 

[gigi1313]

dawn, are you really leaving the kiddos home?

i haven't changed my airline reservations *yet* so i've got my fingers crossed that the waitlist comes through!

 

[J&K'sPrincessMommy]

We are Gigi- I am taking them out of school the week after Thanksgiving for a DCL cruise, I can't really pull them out again so soon
