From my perspective the booking excursions issues had been worked out by the time we cruised - we were the last cruise of this summer for them. We made our reservations in the hotel lobby in Basel before we ever transfered over to the ship - so I guess the pre-night folks had an advantage...

We absolutely loved the canoeing. We got to canoe through a "lock" - it was super cool. Beautiful scenery. We also loved baking Macaroons. Heidelberg Castle tour was great - costumed guides that were very funny and knowledgeable. My whole family read The Diary of Anne Frank before the trip...

We did the pre-night in Basel. The hotel pool was so nice (indoor) for trying to stay awake - it's refreshing. We walked to the Market Halle - an awesome international Food Hall for dinner or lunch about two blocks from the hotel. Also, the Marketplatz in the middle of town is very close as...

Hello - My family had two cabins on the July 29th Rhine River ABD Sailing. This is our 7th ABD and we are Platinum level on DCL. (18 cruises). The River Boat adventure is different from DCL and different from ABD, but we LOVED it. I believe if you have expecations that it will be like the...

Is anyone else waiting for a call back from ABD? First they said we would book that too today with the cruise, then they said they would call back at 2:30 for that part and now no one at member services knows when we will hear - may be tomorrow. CRAZY.

All done. My CM took my credit card - didn't have to go to the payment center. Cabin 7626. Now we just wait for Adventures by Disney to call us back. Fingers crossed. Total time was right at an hour.

We are working with a CM to make reservation now. Got through at 9:02 and have been on hold since then until just now. We also want to book Adventures by Disney prior to cruise. It seems they are going to put us on a list and have ABD call us back later today? Anyone else get this response...

Where is your thread with progress?

I got through the busy signals at about 9:04 but have been on hold ever since. Listening to Disney tunes and holding my breath. How is everyone else doing?

Well, for those of us that ARE going to "dialing for cabins" on November 15th - can we plan to meet here on this thread with updates? It will be helpful to share wait times and availability with one another. I can see from reading the link shared above from last year's reservation day that it...

That thread helped me SO much. I can't thank you enough. My expectations are more properly set now. AND I never though of dialing on two phones! Great idea. :)

Thank you. I'll go to bed early the night before and have on my game face. :)

We are Platinum Level Castaways (been on 15 DCL voyages) but never on the Member Cruise. We are sincerely interested in this September 2016 trip. My question is how hard is it to get the reservation on November 15th when the phone lines open up? Should I expect to wait on hold for hours to...

Alldiz - they apparently know up front which trips are guaranteed - only certain ones are - but it is not on their website - you have to ask them or your TA. I have always shopped flights myself since I book a full year in advance and have assumed I was getting better flight prices. What I...

I am coming back to the thread too - Wanted to let everyone know that at 62 days out ABD did confirm our trip to France in late July. With only 14 people on it. (still may be more that book it between now and then?) I am HUGELY relieved. I honestly cried when we got the call - tears of...

Thank you CaliforniaGirl09. I think with your positive vibes it is ALL gonna work out. Stay tuned. :)

It may be "rare" but right now it is ME. It is "dire" enough for me to worry. My TA and ABD have been clear that the trip is not guaranteed, that there are only 14 people, and we are about 70 days out, and there is a chance it will be cancelled. This is a trip we booked May of 2014 - we paid...

TXTransplant - that was VERY well written. I couldn't agree more. I've traveled Europe myself many times - but as a single mom I want to relax and enjoy the trip with my daughter and not have to be in charge. I'm willing to pay top $$ for that. So now we are at 70 days out from our ABD...

The only way I know that you can find out if it is a gauranteed trip (after you have booked and you are waiting for your trip to 'make the grade') is to call them and ask. Some are still for sale on the site and are confirmed. Some are taken off because they are cancelled. Some are taken off...

My family is currently scheduled on an ABD trip to France that starts in 75 days (July 25) and it is STILL NOT GUARANTEED. This is our third ABD trip. I have been RAVING about how much I love ABD to anyone who will listen, but my opinion has changed significantly due to this issue. We booked...
