I had the oddest experience with ABD this week. I called on Monday to enquire about an August Alaska departure (on the fence due to the itinerary modifications) and was told they had 2 spots left, so they put those spots on hold for me and DS13 and waitlisted DH (we would do a single for him so we can get 2 rooms). Yesterday, I got a call from ABD saying the waitlist didn't go through and I had to either put us all on the waitlist at this point or confirm the 2 spots (my hold expires May 21 at 11:59 pm). I called back and a different vacationista told me that it wasn't a problem to just keep our hold on the two spots until the Friday expiration and keep my DH on the waitlist to see if anything opened up. This morning, after the website glitch (not sure if it's related), I got a confirmation for DH for the trip so, apparently, he's off the waitlist. I'm just not sure why I got the original phone call yesterday trying to pressure me into committing to the two spots or putting everyone on the waitlist when my hold hadn't expired yet. It kind of left a bad taste in my mouth, but I'm trying to chalk it up to the fact that this summer is in such flux at this point with CDC guidance changing so quickly and now the EU, it seems, opening up to vaccinated tourists. I imagine it's a bit difficult trying to run a travel business right now when things are changing so rapidly? I'm just wondering if any of these itinerary modifications will revert back to the published activities. There are no covid protocols preventing river rafting that I can think of at this point.
