runcassrun_07 Posted August 8, 2008 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2008 abw2005: Glad you booked your first cruise, they are such unbelievable fun. I think your first cruise will be such a surprise, having even funner and exciting times than you expected. Even though you have a long wait for the cruise, you can spend alot of time at cruise-critic and keep learning. The cruise will be here before you know it.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for a callback since 9:30 am Eastern from a certain "Big Sale Today Only" TA company. ;) I think we are on the same page w/ the TA hehe I called mine this AM and got a call back right away, but she informed me that it would be probably later today when she got back to me since she was already backlogged! I was up at 8am eastern(7 central, where I am)to see the big 'deals' for today! Hope you get a call back soon too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw2005 Posted August 9, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Must've been quite the sale, I never got a call back. Wow, that's not like them! I got a call from the person I was working with about 15 mins before she was going to leave work, booked my cruise, she emailed me the authorization and I sent it back to her before 4pm eastern...I hope they are still able to honor the sale since you called in but never got a call back...! Have you tried to call again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried to call again? To be honest, I completely understand that they were busy, so I'm not particularly peeved. Having said that, I'm not exactly jumping at the chance to start a relationship with a TA who doesn't return my calls. ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

want2cruiseagain Posted August 11, 2008 #16 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I just booked today as well! Friends asked us to go on this cruise, don't have to fly to another city. We've never cruised with Carnival and I was a little skeptical about Carnival being the party boat, but I think we are going to have a great time!
