Who's calling to book the member cruises?

[bobbiwoz]

Done! Got exactly what I wanted, 2 connected cat 9's on the Alaska cruise. I dialed for exactly 2 hours, held for 50 minutes, talked to Dave for about 17 minutes, then waited on hold for 15 minutes while he confirmed it. I didn't transfer to anyone else, just gave him my credit card number.

Good luck to everyone else, and thanks so much for everyone's advice. I'm going to take a shower, after all this stress! Oh, and I should feed my kids.

so happy for you!

Booked to Alaska! I couldn't believe I got through the phone lines. Paid cash and points. Not sure why I did that. Should have paid the entire amount in cash. Oh well, I'm just glad we're going!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Am I correct, based on the member website, that the four-day cruise has not yet sold out? It says category 9s are still available.

Still available...I changed my cabin 1/2 hour ago.

Thank you! Yes, I did get what we wanted for the 4 night cruise! We are traveling, I was running out of power!

Disconnected, running out of power, Akk!! I'm just so glad you got what you want. Just sorry we won't be on the same member cruise.

We share 3 home resorts, I hope we connect in real life someday!

Have a WONDERful time in Alaska. We were on the Wonder this spring as she went through the Panama Canal.

Wow I'm surprised by this. For the August 2014 cruise everything was gone by noon. Wonder if it's the price, the time of year for booking (we're all outside doing other stuff), or the fact they offered two at the same time?

Me too! Wow, Panama! Once I get an Alaska cruise off my bucket list, a Panama canal cruise is definitely going on!!

Any updates on what is still available? I couldn't find it at DVCMember (unless it's b/c I was on the mobile site)...

No, it's not just the mobile site; when I found that, I went to my computer and saw the same thing. They cut off all of the availability data. The last time I looked (and it was pretty early in the day yesterday) the Alaska cruise was sold out of cat 6 and 7, and the Bahamas was sold out of one or both of those plus 10. Anybody have any more up-to-date data, or experience when calling? Did either or both of the cruises sell out completely?

Maybe they'll post data again today once they've got a full count of where yesterday went, or maybe not.

I had seen 5 categories sold out on the Dream & 4 on the Wonder. Now the Member Site just says sold out, call to go on a wait list.

Where do you see that it's sold out on the site? Boy, I find this new site hard to find anything!

Thanks,

 

[keaster]

I just logged on, the only one showing sold out is the August 2014 cruise!

The availability for both the 2015 Alaska and Bahamas are not there (it was there yesterday up to close to the end of the day.)

 

[bobbiwoz]

I do not see what I saw earlier today

Oh well, yes, I see the August 2014 sold out.

I'm with you. I cannot for the life of me find where it says sold out. It takes me forever to find the things that use to be fairly easy to locate lol.

It does not say that. What I saw may have been a figment of imagination!

The member website says the Bahamas cruise is sold out:

Bahamian Member Cruise in August 2014

This Bahamian cruise is sold out. Members will sail from Port Canaveral, Florida aboard Disney Dream, August 24 to August 28, 2014.
​

I found this by clicking on the "Read More" link from the Member Cruise article that appears before you actually sign into the site. The "read More" link took me to another page that I could read after I logged in. At the bottom of that page was another link to read more information about the cruise. That is where I found the above information.

There is probably a more direct way of finding out this information, but my convoluted way gets me to that page.

That is the 2014 one, not the 2015 one...

Here is the FB group for the 24th-28th Cruise!!

Awesome. I just requested. First name "M" last name "S" is this a private group (so others can't see the craziness?)

Don't feel bad, wdrl, I made the same mistake yesterday while I was on hold and nearly had a panic attack before I realized that it was 2014, not 2015.
