I hope Disney caters breakfast to these poor souls handling the phones on these days. Food and Patience delivery I would imagine would be a MUST!

Not sure if your use of "thing" was supposed to be a dig at my question. Regardless, I definitely understand where that is a possible reason. Disney has to keep the image of things being magical and showing people the reality of the world while they are on vacation likely does tend to shatter the image they are trying to present. That being said, I know the Wonder and the Fantasy have both picked up Cuban refugees so if that really was the source of blowback I would think they are taking that risk every time they do a Caribbean cruise.

No. Not a dig at your question at all.

On other forums for other lines I have seen people saying they didn’t want to deal with “that thing” or “see those people”.

I am not sure the blowback is as great against Cubans - not sure why other than they are not Middle Eastern...(trying not to get too political here) Not that it should matter, but it does to some people.

Okay, I wasn't sure. I was hoping it wasn't.

That's true, I have experienced that as well while travelling on other lines.

I would assume it might also be, at least in the case of Disney's primary audience of U.S. and Canadians that the amount they pay is far more to do Mediterranean than Caribbean and therefore feel more entitled. Regardless, it's sad that there is such blowback, especially if it prevents others from experiencing the world with DCL.

I was quoted 25 minutes and am still on hold.

My husband has been on the phone for about 1 hour and 45 minutes now. Hoping he gets through soon!

I'm trying to decide if I should sit at my desk with my phone on speaker tomorrow... I work in a lab mostly alone, so not like I'm in a cube next to lots of people...

Booked EBTA from Miami to Barcelona today during Gold Day. Was only on hold for 15 minutes at noon. Agent said that tomorrow (Silver Day) and Thursday (General Day) would be INSANE.

Unless you want the Walt or the Roy, most rooms are still open on that one.

 

[Tigger2ntinkerbell]

Busy signal
Is 866 325 6348 the right number

 

[ShellB8585]

[Tigger2ntinkerbell]

My dog is hiding, because of my unmouse like language.

G booking from yesterday
7/21 Magic Iceland/Norway 10A 2A1K (10) $10,363.62 [$4,059.00] [$4,059.00] [$1,758.24] and Taxes/Fees: 487.38. No: Transfers/Insurance Yes: OBB
I switched this from a 9A and cut the cost by about $2000

 

[ShellB8585]

I wish they could come up with a way this could be done online I'm sure they could come up with a way to only allow certain levels of CC each day since they have databases with that info

You know, you're absolutely right! I logged in yesterday thinking, "hey, now that I'm Gold CC, I can book online a day early!" FAIL. I almost booked the 2018 EBTA instead of the 2019. DW caught it and I had to get in the queue on the phone. Sigh.

Silver here but haven't tried calling yet (I'm on the West Coast), gotta get the kiddies off to school first. Looks like it's going to be a long morning.....and afternoon!

We did the Greece and Turkey cruise the first year it was offered. Have been crossing my fingers for more! I really want them to bring back a cruise in Venice.

Yes! I really wish they would do a cruise to or from Venice
