ABD is really pushing the "free" cruise promotion
I received a message last week from ABD, I had waitlisted a trip before I actually booked a different date, they were telling me that I could get a free cruise if I wanted to book a different date than I had wait listed, then the woman went on to say that she could see that I had actually booked a trip and the date that I booked was not elegible for the cruise but if I wanted to cancel and rebook for a date that was elegible for the cruise just to give them a call, of course I would have to pay a cancelation fee but after all I would get the "free" cruise.
I also own DVC and I received an email today telling me about a "wonderful" oppourtunity to book a ABD trip and get a cruise.
I think they need to give it a rest, I already booked a trip, why would I cancel, lose my deposit and my loyalty discount for a cruise that will cost me money, I also received a free cruise when I added on points with DVC, and that truly is a free cruise as I don't have to pay a dime, not taxes not gratuities nothing and since I would have been going to Florida at the time of the cruise that we are taking for my nephews birthday the airfare is negligible. The confirmation I have from DCL shows the gratuities are prepaid and my balance is zero. Why would they think I would lose money to get a cruise that really isn't free?
I will admit I wasn't happy with ABD when the new itineraries came out and I did research different companies and ended up booking a trip with ABD because of the itinerary, the Airport Transfers (very important to me especially in a foreign country) and the little details.
I just think the phone call was very tacky and is not something a company like ABD should be doing,
Anyone else get the calls or other promotional advertisements about the cruise?
