Anyone else send a request to their TA for Alaska 2011??

I want a mid summer cruise, but am also waiting for the Vancouver/LA (or vice versa) repo dates to be announced.

Thanks, I did finally see them.

Can't wait to see the ship in SF. I've always though they'd look magnificent here. I'll probably try to be out on the Golden Gate taking pictures of her either coming or going, depending on schedule.
If I do try for one of the repos, it would be the Sept 20 one, but would have to go without my son. He'll be a junior in highschool and probably on the football team so he couldn't miss a week of school.

I have a view of the cruise ship terminal from my office in SF. So stoked to have the Wonder here.

I am very excited to hear about the Alaska cruises! I'm hoping that money will work out and we'll be able to go!

 

[Bareacuda]

I caught it somewhere Magic is back in the Med on 28 May 2011.
Ive looked at so many posts and websites Im sooooo confused!
So I dont know if that's a repo or the first day in Barcelona.
I'll keep looking.

We leave on 15th for 2 weeks at SSR on our first trip as DVC members, looking forward to it so much. Finished work at lunchtime today and dont go back until 4th Oct, I need this break after a very busy year at work but not complaining as it gets us over to Florida every year
Hope you all have a good weekend....

Hope you have a great holiday

Oooooooh I would love to do one of these cruises with the Alaska 7 day cruise aswell - do you think the Alaska cruises will be really expensive?

We are paying LESS for this TA then we did for the PC in 2005!!! With the same cat and all !

Another update. Still no answer but Roy at DCL is working on it still. Right now checking to make sure all that have a handicapped room need one. The message on my answering machine got cut off after that. So still up in the air but still continuing to believe in the magic of disney. Hubby not so sure. I am the disney addict. But have never had anything extra special done or a magical moment. But that is ok because I just love the message of Disney. If you can dream then you can do it.

He just figures we will not be going. I have not lost hope yet.

Hope Disney comes through for you.

What part of Barrie are you in? I spent most of my summers going up near Brentwood Marine on the south side of the bay.

I hope it does work out for you to go to Alaska Joe and I just came back on Saturday and it was beautiful!! We had some of the best weather they had up there all summer we only had one day with a little rain rest of the time the sun was shining and it was warm

Just a note if others missed it the castway rewards is working. I am gold so if you have taken 5 cruises you are gold. Since we were not sure if you had to have taken 6 since it was 6-11. Nope it is 5 finished cruises.

Woot early booking. But lets see if I even get on the ship since still no news on a handicapped room. I did email yesterday today I will call.

I'm with you at the 5 cruise level. Also noticed this means we get invited to the Castaway reception but Silver members dont!

We thought of getting an apartment too.

From what I have heard from people who have been to Barcelona, you want to stay at the "top" of La Rambla...as is gets a bit "seedy" towards the bottom (on the way to the docks.)

There is a nice hotel (more like a B&B with only 25 rooms), called Casa Camper. You can get a room with a "lounge" area and free hot breakfast and snacks 24 hours. We booked a delux room there for 229 euros a night...and also a room at Le Meridien for 179 euros a night......we haven't made up our minds yet which one we like better. They are ALOT different......Casa Camper seems more unique and Barcelona like....Le Meridien seems like a high priced hotel like you can find in any city.

Casa Camper looks very nice indeed!

I'm still sending pixie dust!

That place sounds nice,I think that is what i am after, just so we can make coffe(and store our wine in fridge) like you say,some of the hotels could be any city.
I am going to check it out, it is just with the 4 adults it will be cheaper/can get a really nice place if we put our money together and go for an apartment.
Location. that is a interesting point,glad you mentioned it as I was trying to get nearer to the port.

Lynne, I think location near the port tend to be more expensive in general looking at prices.

The suspense must be killing you! Are handicap rooms more expensive?
I mean would someone book one for... I dont know, just incase or the extra space?
I suppose also when the balances are due to be be SOMEONE is going to back out, but thats a long way off. you want it sorted before that!

Good point! Also expect alot of people to start transfering when the new itineraries open this month and even more when Dream gets announced.

I have been looking at places close to the port too - with the idea that it might be nice to be able to see the Disney Magic from the bedroom window! If you stay at the Disney recommended hotel *Le Meridien* do you think they would take your baggage to the port from there or is that only if you actually book via Disney?

Really hope the pixie dust works and Disney come through for you
Hopefully there will be some good news soon

I think from what I've read they do take your bags to the port! You have to put them outside your room the night before like you do on the cruise or at least that's what other people said!

NO they are the same price. But they are big rooms. So people who do not need them do booked them. And if no other person with a disability needs them, then they get to keep the room.

My best guess is there is a handicapped room available in a higher level but before he can do anything he needs to find out if all the 11's are for people that really need them. And I am sure that since I booked asap. Meaning I put in a request while on the ship. I was near the front of the line.

When they announce new itineries if you are lucky enough to be on the Wonder or Magic You can fill out a form. Of where and when you want to go. This still allows you to get the 10% discount and the on board credit.

This form puts you a head of others booking on the day allowed. The only other people that would be in front of me would be people who put in a request on the last transatlantic and maybe anytime before. So it means that anyone that needed a handicapped and was booking the cruise on the day it opened would be behind my request.

And I paid the the deposit that day.

Like today when they announce the new itineries anyone on the ships now will get first dibs. Not sure how the new tier system will work now for new itinaries. So might be different.

There are only 4 handicapped rooms in the 11 category. My hope is when the new ships come out there wil be alot more.

So all Roy had to do was track backwards and see yes we only requested a handicapped room. When we paid and know they messed up.

And he did say we are sorry for not being able to hold your handicapped room. Which ot me is an acknowledgement of yes I did have one but someone imputed the wrong info.

Since I was told yes I had a handicapped room but they could not tell me which one. So somehow it went to gty 11 which should have been GTY handicapped. But I did not know any different. Just that we did not know our room number so when I saw they gty I thought nothing about it.

Right on my reservation is says requires handicapped room. From the very beginning it was there.

I know it is a long way off. But my hubby wanted to pay half of it now while our dollar in high.

So we continue to wait and see. Just makes me very leary booking like this again.

The stress is not so bad now I am over the shock. NOt knowing is kind of discouraging. But I continue to believe I will be on this cruise.

We also booked flights with them so now have to be nervous of are they taking into account my scooter? Well I will sure be on them for that to make sure it works well.

I'm sure this will work out! We are all routing for you!

I remember this from the last time..as we boarded on Saturday but did not leave until Sunday - but the life boat drill was at 4 so u needed to be on the ship - you could still leave the ship after the drill.....which I am sure u can do this time as well.

This is what Im hoping!

HI fellow cruisers, been a while since I posted but I have been still reading them all. Welcome to all the recent new folks, seems there will be a lot of Disers on board.
Well this weekend we are going to be packing ready for this years pilgramage to WDW.
We leave on 15th for 2 weeks at SSR on our first trip as DVC members, looking forward to it so much. Finished work at lunchtime today and dont go back until 4th Oct, I need this break after a very busy year at work but not complaining as it gets us over to Florida every year

Think my sister got Waitlisted for the Panama and Alaska but not sure. Will be interested to see how many people transfer out off this one when they open up.

I caught it somewhere Magic is back in the Med on 28 May 2011.

Thats the first med one so the repo will be before that for 14 days. Looking at it its following the 2007 TA's

I'm surprised that Disney is just leaving Dream in the Caribbean mind

YEAH!!! Wish it was coming quicker lol

Checked on DCL site and we are definately Gold members so says we can start booking from June 5th!

 

[jewelmicky]

I have been reading some to the threads about the new 2011 cruises.

How do you think this will affect our cruise? Will many people bail and decide to wait and do one of the new itineraries?

How full do you think our ship will be? Seems like our WB is more full then the EB...just wondering what my odds for an upgrade are?

On the DCL website it said that the sailings will start on 28 May, with 10 and 11 day sailings.

I read soooooooo much yesterday about the ships I was confusing myself

Too many cruises to choose from!

Ann
So yes... the TA will be 14 days before that.
