[alexissimpson]

First timer cruiser! Are the disney cruise packet that is send and the spiral notebook the same thing? I've received my spiral notebook and was unsure if I should be expecting something else.

It's the most wonderful, magical, and happiest little spiral notebook ever!!!

I'm sure someone will have a better answer, but I think we got ours about a month before.

You'll typically receive them around 30 days out. If you used a TA, and the TA had the documents sent there first, it'll be a bit longer.

No TA, we booked ourselves through the site. Thanks!!

Did you find your luggage tags hidden inside the notebook?

Thank you all!

The notebook is a good review of things to do in preparing for the cruise. Even though they say to bring it with you when you sign in (and I do every time), they never ask for it. Just make sure your paperwork is printed out and signed with your passports and the mouse is happy. Have a good one...they always are!!

We've been asked for the booklet on several of our cruises (when entering the port/terminal). Yes, you can do so with just an ID (that would have to be checked against the passenger manifest), but the booklet is easier, IMO.

I printed out my Online check-in Port Arrival Form but I don't see anyplace for a signature. Am I missing something? Are there other forms that need to be printed?

Check your online check in to see if anything else is needed/signed. Some documents have changed and don't need signing if done online.

They updated the form. I too freaked out when I didn't see the place for the signatures. After a frantic call to the Castaway line, I was calm.

I generally receive my packet within a month or so of departure and it's always exciting to receive it. I do feel that these will eventually go away, so enjoy them while you still can. Royal Caribbean is all done online now with no credentials sent through mail.

I am 17 days out from my cruise and still no booklet for me. I called DCL and my TA (Costco) last week and they said they would re-send the booklet. Not a big deal if it doesn't show up, just have to deal with writing our stateroom on the blank luggage tags at the port. But it is nice to have because it has the Halloween theme on the cover.

I was unaware that they had certain themes. That's very cool, but hopefully your book shows up in time.
