Northern Sights & Mickey's MAGICal Delights - 1st Baltic cruise - June 12,2010

[gydell]

Everybody, I just thought I would stop by and explain myself so that no one gets their feelings hurt. I am so excited for us all -and let me say that I hope you all book and get exactly what you hope for. Now, we are sailing on 7/18 and are in the same boat as you guys - sort of anyway.

Anyway, my reason for coming here, I just wanted to let you all know that we too are in the process of "naming" ourselves and noticed at we have similar ideas too. So in case any of you see something, please don't be upset, its bound to happen that great minds think alike. Its a cause to be celebrated around here We are anxiously awaiting your poll results so that we can tweak (if necessary) our titles should that be the case indeed. So please, don't be offended if you find your poll results at our thread. We are not INVADING you - I may joke about me invading but I'm just watching, so I apologize in advance if anyone gets their feelings hurt - it was not meant to be taken that way. I see many familiar names and hope you have a fantastic trip.

Oh yeah, your all breaking ground for the rest of the cruises so please feel free to stop by our thread after you come back to drop off any hints - any help would be greatly appreciated.

You all stay safe and healthy and Good Luck!

No Problem!

NOW HOW THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEN?

Sorry! One is bad enough, twice is redundant - three times? That's just

Hi Laura - which cruise are you planning to do?

 

[Michelle2]

Time is getting closer, I am getting nervous. I kept waking up during the night, afraid I overslept.

I just don't want to be on hold tooo long.... I know, wishful thinking.

Good morning fellow cruisers! (or was it cruizers??)

Michelle-- I kept waking up too afraid I hadn't heard my alarm. The things we do for our cruises on DCL

Can't wait to see what we get.

I'm all logged into the website, ready to go! I'm also checking out the Christmas 2010 prices just in case

Have you gotten hold of the TA yet??

I can't do anything - website isn't working right, and can't get through on the phone

NO! They have all the phone lines going to the recirder so they can work with DCL.

We had to transfer an existing reservation made on-board, so called Castaway Club at 7 AM. Waited on hold (dead air, no music, which is disconcerting) but got the whole thing done in under 30 minutes.

Booked 8554 (cat 4), so I guess now we're qualified to vote on a cruise name.

Glad you got through Laura - I thought phone lines didn't open til 8am????

Castaway Club opened at 8 AM US Eastern, so we called at 7 AM our time, which is US Central. Not sure about the regular DCL reservations line.

Also, worth knowing that despite all the advertising on the DCL website about half-price deposits, these cruises don't qualify for that. The deposit is $600 per person.

 

[mishoe01]

I've been trying both the CC phone nbr and general res and can't get through on either line.

What cruise are you on Gydell?

They have me on the WB TA and the one before it. I got a SPH room. Shame I can't use it!

 

[gydell]

I am checking on line and the message keeps coming up that there are no rooms available for our date!

 

[granmaz]

They don't seem to have the Baltic cruises up yet for some reason.

HEY....I've been trying to get a SHP on the WB....GIVE IT BACK. (just kidding)

Monica for your frustration.

opps......think the web site just crashed.

 

[Pinky166]

Anyone got a number for the booking line that isn't the 800 number as I can't call that from the UK. Thanks.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi friends.....I'm on hold with DCL......it's only going to be a 37 minute wait until I get to talk to someone. I'm asking about pricing for the Christmas cruise for 2 in a cat 6.

Even though I'm not booking this Baltic cruise, I thought I would come over here and post because that's where everybody is this morning.
