The OFFICIAL... "This is how long I was on hold, this is what I got" thread

[trampslady]

Frustrated here...called back to consider last three days of current 10-day vacation....nothing...but the first three (that I waitlisted for this morning) were said to be available......put me on hold to modify my existing reservation, and then came back to say only one day now available....but it was the @&$#@* day that WASN'T available this morning--now the two that were available are supposedly unavailable....back to square one, but only after quite a fright when she noted that the original reservation at BCV was now modified to arrived three days later than scheduled......after I had time to eat my lunch on hold, the original BCV reservation was restored...whew!

I'm not sure they know exactly what it or is not available today....no fault of the MS folks, just a bit chaotic right now!

I called about 11:00. Had to dial twice before getting through. I ended up being on hold for about 15 min. I got my Std View studio for the night of September 9th no problem.

I called at 11:00 attempting to get a 2 bedroom for Aug. 5- 10 ... had no 2 bedrooms but did have studios available for anyone looking

??? back on the phone now to see if maybe there are studios available after all....

The cost of a 7 day western cruise was less than a 4 night bahamas cruise? We're on the 4 night cruise starting 12/2.

on Carnival Legend it is . Couldn't pass it up: Tampa, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize, Costa Maya; 7 night upgraded aft view, extended balcony for 3 pp; less than $1,700. Got good reviews, don't expect the Wonder - just hope it's decent.


back to topic @ hand, sorry to hear of the long waits for those trying to book.

Unbelievable! I called back 3 hours after my morning phone call...and now they HAVE my first choice dates!!!



So I cancelled Sept. and re-booked for August!

The CM said that availability was literally changing minute by minute. Her comment was, "it's so crazy, you have to see it to believe it!"

After a bit of indecision I did finally call and after 12 minutes on hold got a std view studio for 9 - 13th December - I was really very surprised I thought we stood no chance!

Ah, I won't cruise Carnival. I've heard too many horrible things about it, sorry. I'm not into "party" ships. I like the family version that is Disney. (And I don't even have kids!)

I called at 8:58, and listened to EVERY option until I was sure it was 9:00, and I was the girl's first customer. I got my dates in July, October, November, and December, so I was a happy customer. The only disappointment was that I couldn't get savannah view in July, but everything else was great, except that I was 1/2 asleep.

Got thru about 9:30 after 30 minutes of holding. Had my nights then they were gone. Called about about 10:30 got August 5 - 7 std studio. I am so glad I called back.

I called from work (construction site) at 9am got a busy signal. Kept calling off and on and kept getting a busy signal. At 12:15 pm I tried one more time and finally got the recording. Then I was on hold for about 20 mins. When CM checked on Standard studios he said they showed a few open but could not booked till he cancelled my first 3 nts at BWV SV to use those pts to book AKV. I thought they put them( the room) on hold to do the transaction so you wouldn't lose both ressies. He asked if I wanted to chance it and I said yes. It worked and I got our AKV standard view for Nov 29 and 30 th and Dec 1st. Then on to BWV till DEC 7.
