Thanks Everyone!!!

I'm wondering if maybe the Cat. 1 (or at least one of them) was booked for a special celebrity for the WB cruise. Wouldn't that be fun?! So far, I don't think any DISer has admitted to either of the Cat. 1 for the 2008 WB. I know one on our thread has one of the Cat. 2. I suppose there could be life outside of these boards!

To answer your question, I am waitlisted still for Cat. 1 or 2 for the WB and have not received any call.

We're one of the 2008 Westbound Repo - Cat 2s.

We got it from a IC request faxed quite some time back for Cat 1 or 2 on any spcial itinerary for 2007,2008,2009 over 10 days.

It was originally intended to get us a possible upgrade to a 1 or 2 for our ( soon to be canceled) 7/7/07 11 Day Med in a Cat 3.

Plan on some serious wine consumption on our veranda during Canal day....

I was on the waitlist for an upgrade from cat 11 to cat 9 for the 2005 EB repo cruise. When passengers started cancelling just prior to the penalty date
loads of cabins opened up. Initially it was just a GTY, then an assigned cabin, then enough cabins appeared so that I could make a selection. Fortunately at the time I was able to get the higher cat 9 at the same rate it was selling for on the day I made the original cat 11 booking, plus apply my OBC and 10% discount.
So your chances of getting on board or upgraded (not to sure about cat 1-3) are very good

I had been on the waitlist for a cat 3 on the EB Repo, 2008. I got a call a couple weeks ago and it had cleared! I may have been on a priorty wait list as I had given up a Cat 3 for a Med cruise, so they already had my non-refundable deposit. Not really sure exactly how it happened though!

We were wait listed to get on the Eastbound Panama Repo. A category 10 opened up and they reserved us in it. Few days later a category 9 opened up and we were "upgraded" but unfortunately the pricing was in the highest tier and it priced us off the ship all together.

DOH!

Well there goes one! We're on the waitlist for a Cat 3 as well. I couldn't get through on the phone and so could only book a Cat 4 online.

We are booked but just Category 5 gty still waiting - Eastbound Panama that is.

 

[bridegirl]

We faxed a request, got a call from IC prior to 1/31, then waited and waited - nothing from IC.

We went ahead and booked cat 4's - so we would have something. Called to confirm our "waitlist" status with IC. Put deposits down so we could be "priority" waitlisted.

Still, a month later...nothing - no suites. (And our cat. 4 are only "gty.")

If we don't get upgraded or can't get connecting rooms, we will be cancelling. So far now, just waiting and hoping - and knowing that DCL has 15k in deposits from us.

What is IC?

Is there a Disney waitlist for bookings on the EB Repo? I had a friend call a week or two after Jan 31 and was told by DCL they weren't taking a waitlist?

Where can I fax a request for a cruise that is not available for booking yet?
Inventory Control: fax #407-566-7739
Please note that DCL only accepts advance requests for categories 1 thru 3.

They also stopped taking requests for 2008 around Xmas Time, Not sure of the exact date, but near there.

DCL is not taking a waitlist for either Panama Canal crossing cruise in 2008.

 

[birkner]

I am in a cat. 3 for the WB repo but am still wait listed for either a cat. 1 or the cat. 2.

I too am curious who is in either of the cat. 1's on the WB repo!!

LOL beat me to it again!

I called this past Saturday to reconfirm this. No wait list for either 2008 repos.

We're on the waitlist for a Cat 3 or higher, also.

I think you an be waitlisted for a higher Cat if you already have a ressie. We have a Cat 4 but, really need at least a Cat 3 (dh will NOT like sharing a bathroom for 2 wks! LOL!) so, we are on a waitlist for a suite. But, they already have some of our money.

Can you tell me what happens to your suite deposit when you cancel?

They do have a wait list for the suites, but not for the other cats. I have my fingers crossed for yall.
