dsb9938 Posted April 14, 2009 Author #127 Share Posted April 14, 2009 i did not realize taxes and port charges were included as well. that is good stuff. Yeah, you have to be careful to compare apples to apples. You can get a bad deal if you don't know what's included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themarm Posted April 14, 2009 #128 Share Posted April 14, 2009 She got impatient, same as I'm about to do, and called the TA and already booked. the "official" one? i wonder what would happen if one were to liftt he contact info from another official thread and just call and ask point blank what can be done for the group (as in i would like to join others, so move this along). in the sweetest way, of course.

dsb9938 Posted April 14, 2009 Author #129 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm sure she'd take the business, but I seriously doubt we'd be able to advertise it on here. And I like it here too much to get thrown off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamanxs Posted April 14, 2009 #130 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I am sure we will hear somthing any day now. I hear that CC and the TA are really busy right now. We have to wait to be official to get the $25.00 deposit and the $100.00 cabin credit. Alaska Week started tonight on the Discovery channel. Think positive!

dsb9938 Posted April 14, 2009 Author #131 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Of course I think positive. I'm positive this will be a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themarm Posted April 14, 2009 #132 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm sure she'd take the business, but I seriously doubt we'd be able to advertise it on here. And I like it here too much to get thrown off. that is a dilemma. a two part strategy would be advisable: 1. call from a payphone 2. invent a completely ficticious screen-name :p (jk) as i was pondering why it might be taking so long to decide whether or not a group rate could be procured, i realized that travel agents might be hamstrung by the fact that carnival is taking their sweet time getting their cruise rates up past april of next year. beyond a certain point, there is just nothing. that has to affect what an agent can work with, and as carnival releases their info, the agent might have a wealth of work to do to promote their business. with the interest this sailing has, i cannot see turning down the money stood to be made. therefore, i shall shift my attention from whether or not this is "official" to discussing what to do once there. essentially, the TA has the choice to have a slice of the pie, or let it all go to carnival. either way, i am happy.

hkolln Posted April 14, 2009 #133 Share Posted April 14, 2009 okay, HOW did you go about getting the credit for a cruise not official? who do i talk to? :) I booked it on my Carnival Liberty cruise end of March and got the OBC of 100.00 (incentive for doing it on my current cruise). We figured we were going to go anyways and we'd get the OBC along with being able to pick our cabin (which we are picky about)...so it worked out for us. You'll get the OBC if you wait for the CC official cruise too so hang in there! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb9938 Posted April 14, 2009 Author #134 Share Posted April 14, 2009 You'll get the OBC if you wait for the CC official cruise too so hang in there! :) No guarantee of that, unfortunately. Although most get it, all do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkolln Posted April 14, 2009 #135 Share Posted April 14, 2009 No guarantee of that, unfortunately. Although most get it, all do not. Well then I'm glad I didn't wait :) You should be thinking positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb9938 Posted April 14, 2009 Author #136 Share Posted April 14, 2009 LOL, people keep saying that. I'm not being negative, I just don't want to promise anything until I know I can deliver it!

themarm Posted April 16, 2009 #146 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Never tried a zipline. But I'm going parasailing in July, so who knows? I'll try almost anything once! high adventure courses are a BLAST! it has been years since i have done one - check out skagway - that is where it is located. at the end, there is a zipline. i hope they let you spiderman zip. kinda funny that with all that is going on in alaska for side trips, a zipline and course grabs my interest.
