Question about booking cruise

[SoCalDCLfan]

I can't get through to Member Services, so I'm wondering if someone here can answer my question. I'm wanting to book a summer 2022 cruise tomorrow (Gold Castaway day,) but have to go through Member Services since it's a rebooking using a points/cash future cruise credit. Member Services has just been a constant busy signal. If I get the busy signal again tomorrow, can I book the cruise directly (cash) with DCL and then call DVC at a later time/date to have it switched over to points? I'm worried about not getting the reservation we want just because of issues with Member Services' busy signal.

I was looking at the cruises yesterday too. Go to your castaway account and they have a link with all the details about early booking during your castaway window. I believe it said if you are using points you have to call DVC member services. If you were and DVC member and just using the early booking window but paying cash you can call the cruise line directly.

Thanks, princesscinderella. I was trying to see if I could book online and then transfer it to DVC, but I think you're right. I'm stuck calling Member Services. Hoping I can get through this morning. Thanks for your help!
