A day in the life of a travel agent

January 31st, 2007 - by Coleen

Disney Cruise Line opened up booking today for their summer 2008 sailings that are again heading west through Panama, doing some Mexican Riviera, and then back east through the canal again.  The first time Disney did this in 2005 it was a big success and I can say from experience that the Panama Canal is amazing!  So lots of people were eagerly awaiting the rates and hoping to grab a room today.  As a dedicated (and slightly nuts) agent I was determined to do my best  for every request I received.   It was a heck of a day and now that it is almost at an end I can sit back and laugh a little.  I even thought of a little diddy to sum it up.  I think the other agent will appreciate this. 

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
a tale of a crazy day
It started out at 3 AM
with no rates in sight!

The dates were for 2008
the itineraries good for sure
5 minutes before 7 that day
started my 3 hour hold, a 3 hour hold

The website started crashing down
and my desk was getting tossed
if not for the IM of our fearless team
my mind would be lost, my mind would be lost!
