What time YOUR TIME did you submit your request? Still waiting for my Dutch buddy to get his confirmation email, which was done around 2pm Holland time.

Well that means I submitted 2 hours before Wallie and I still got nothing. Although I think Memnoch sent before me.

We filled ours in at 1:45 AM Central US time. Still nothing...I was hoping to see something by now.

by **Memnoch** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 11:52 am

Just got home from a day trip to Tallinn, Estonia. So, I put my request in yesterday at around 10am (9am CET). I received my confirmation today at 11am (10am CET).

I wanna pay in full, but right now they have me marked wrong
the 5% discount plus the incredible weak dollar make me save quite a bit

by **Ecliptica** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 2:00 pm

I'm an idiot with technology.

I want to pay in full, but I don't see how to do so. I'm marked down for 4 payments. Meh.

I also have no idea how to add cabinmates. Right now I have a quad all to myself, but I did solidify three more people that want to pay ASAP.

the thing with the payment, you'll have to take care of via email - I just sent such an email, too
but I don't remember how things went concerning the cabin mates - this time we just answered to the mail where the booking request was confirmed

maybe someone else remembers the right way to add the other passengers to your room

The dollar is still dropping against the euro, so I don't mind waiting a few more days before I can pay.

Does anyone know until which date I can confirm the details of the other people in my cabin without paying additional fees?

don't you have to name'em within 48h like all the other informations?

by **Ravenlord** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 4:03 pm

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it said on the confirmation email that you have 48 hours to ensure all information is correct.

Last year I called the first day of booking and had all the information ready and gave it to them over the phone. I don't know if I can do the same this year and don't want to clog up the phone lines, but if that's the case, I have 3 of the 4 people's information and can get the last one's if I need to. I just don't know if he trusts me with his credit card info and whatnot

by **AlaskaRachel** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 4:15 pm

I read somewhere that either the lead passenger pays in full or each roommate pays their own way. I'm not the lead passenger, but I'm paying the for the full room (long story why we're doing it this way). Does anyone know if this is going to be an issue? Do I have to give all the money to the lead passenger and have her pay it?

The way I see it, in that instance you would probably just put the lead passenger's name, and booking info on the first page, then use your payment details on the payment page.

Wow alaska! Welcome to the forum .. :)

by **DrAmygdala** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 8:02 pm

So my partner sent the booking yesterday morning and he got a confirmation, but it's only for 1 person (price is $100 extra, so seems like they charged him for the single ticket)! So now I don't even know if I'm booked :( We have sent an email and left a phone message, but I'm so stressed out that this is going to be the worst long weekend ever! I hope they are working overtime so I can get this sorted out asap or I'm going to have a heart attack!

hang in there Sarah! It's all a process... Was that different from last year? i remember some hurdles for me to book by myself as they kept wanting my 2nd passenger--well I AM the 2nd passenger!!LOl// Maybe, I'm the only single loser that books a double room...

by **KDibildeaux** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 8:30 pm

I did that, actually. Mostly 'cause the people going with me kept bailing, hah, so I ended up paying double, grrr

It took a total of about 40 hours for our confirmation to come through. It will get to you eventually.

Wah, still nothing :(

I got the initial promocode email at 12:39 a.m. (when I was asleep), booked about 4:30 a.m. early Wednesday morning (the only time I can say that I was actually GLAD that I woke up in the night

), and got the confo at 4:46 p.m. yesterday - so a total of a little over 36 hours.

by **juggernaut** » Fri Apr 22, 2011 8:31 am

Please let the public sales start. I really want to go this year!!

by **Ravenlord** » Fri Apr 22, 2011 8:39 am

The pre-sale has only been going for 2 business days so far and they are up to their tits in bookings.

Be patient daniel-son

by **juggernaut** » Fri Apr 22, 2011 8:51 am

I know I have to be patient. But I dont want to miss it again.

The press covered this so heavy (the 2011 cruise) and so I expect it to sell out before the bands get announced. I wonder what losers (Like the dude who sold a guitar that he had all the bands sign at the meet and greets on Ebay) will sell their cabins out and make profit?
