Barcelona Disembark timing 2023

[Mathmagicland]

Hi - I’ve read past threads from 2022 and earlier on this where times were quite varied. I am looking for 2023 disembark experiences for more current information in Barcelona. The Barcelona cruise port schedule shows the Dream arriving at 0800 from Mediterranean cruises. The DCL website says to book return flights no earlier than 12:30pm. What time has disembarkation been starting this season, and what approx is the latest time to disembark? Trying to determine return flight options. Thanks for any help and insights!

We were just on the May 27th cruise out of Barcelona and were able to get off the ship at 8:00 AM. People were getting off earlier. Our fight was originally scheduled for 10:45 AM when we booked and was changed to about an hour later. We did this cruise also around 10 years ago. Someone on the same cruise who had booked their flights through Disney were on a 10:45 AM flight so we booked the same. No issues, plenty of time and would always book this flight if we go out of Barcelona again.

We were on the May 20th cruise. I think separation started just before 8 am. We got off at 9 am. By then all luggage tags had been called. Getting off was easy as there was no customs nor immigration for us (only necessary of the ship left Schengen area). The wait for taxis was quite long though. Well organized, but it just took some time. We were in a taxi to our train station at 9:30 am.

We sailed in May, too. We had a car arranged (due to needing a carseat) and we were driving away by 8:30am - it was a very easy process to leave, no long lines, and luggage was easy to find.

Thanks so much! Who did you use for your car service?
