OMG on hold.. Haven't been so happy to be on hold.

 

[doctorofpeace]

TA just got disconnected again, I haven't had one connected call. This seems a little over the top for Disney. Does this long of a wait time/busy time seem normal?

I hope it goes quickly...!! Lines have been open 8.5 hours now... surely its starting to die down a little? Maybe?

Apparently there are a lot more DVC members who have never cruised who decided they wanted to. It was bad the last release, but I don't think it was this bad - the primary difference (well, besides the obvious time of year and itineraries) seems to be the DVC members as Platinum and Gold did not seem from reports on here to be that much different from last release.

Disney Magic 9/8/19 11B, 2A $3658.32 (1680) (1680) no ins/trans/OBB

I was in tears because after holding forever (not to mention 2+hours of busy signals) I accidentally leaned against my phone and hung up right after the cast member had picked the room. I was sobbing and then a few minutes later I received my hold confirmation email. We hadn’t even gotten to prices, but I am so thankful that she put it through regardless. She saved my day for sure!!

I'm not sure there is a "normal" for this yet as they only split up CC status recently. It sure feels like silver is taking longer than last time though. Maybe word got around better about that change by now? It used to be silver just booked on opening day with the general public and platinum/gold shared a phone in day.

Howdy neighbor! I have a hold on this cruise too! Did they have rooms on starboard side now...? Yesterday the CM and I could only see the Port side ones!

Don't forget they added DVC into the mix today. I wouldn't think there were that many DVC members who hadn't cruised that went "OMG, we can book before the general public!" - but maybe there were.

Or maybe it's the summer itineraries are different itineraries thing.

Definitely summer has *something* to do with it... I don't think gold had as long a wait last release either. It was about the same to start but it died off earlier I think. I had a 40 minute wait at 8pm EST last night! I can't image the Adventure by Disney people added much either but hey maybe so...

I believe OBB - stands for 'on board benefit' - the 10% discount one gets when they book a holding reservation on an existing cruise. For example I paid $250 USD on our last cruise - we received a 10% discount on the cruise that we booked today. You have 2 years to cruise and get the benefit - otherwise you get your money back.

Thanks so much! So all these prices thst people say OBB I should 10% to the total?

I want to thank the Nor'easter for closing my workplace, since I never would have been able to do this if I wasn't snowed in.

 

[Maggie'sMom]

It'll be slightly less than 10% higher as the OBB 10% discount is only off the base fares, not the port fees/taxes...but yes, for quick math, add 10% and then be pleasantly surprised when your cost is a little less than that!

 

[AquaDame]

That should get you very close, yes...if the price hasn't gone up!

Added up to here!

I’m not sure on that, I have room 6105 which was the first one she offered : ) Midship location.

 

[disneymagicgirl]

My TA started at 6AM and has still not been able to get through. 6 hours later, one disconnection and still no reservation. I'm so stressed. I've been trying to get through too and nothing but a busy signal.

I haven't heard from mine at all yet and my placeholders are still placeholders. I feel awful for the TAs. DCL needs to get it together.

I think she chose very nicely! I'm just curious by nature. It also weirded me out that this quote was exactly the same down to the penny for a different sailing, in a different cat, on a different ship in midsummer! They were the only two I requested!
