May 4th, 2025 - 13 Night Eastbound Transatlantic Cruise from Port Canaveral to Barcelona (Castaway Cay, Azores, Lisbon, Cádiz)

I loved Parrot Cay. Remembered when they did character breakfasts there where the servers made funny hats out of the napkins…lol

Yeah I don’t like the sit down restaurant for lunch it was at the Garden restaurant at one time and tried to do a buffet but I couldn’t find anything to eat there. Don’t think they do that anymore. That was when they still had those round booths there.

Has anyone else besides our Canadian friends receive their luggage tags yet? Last year, I received mine two days before the cruise.

Some people from the UK posted in the FB group they got theirs, I think.

I'm in the US and haven't gotten mine yet.

Someone in our travel group is in the US and they got their luggage tags today. Mine haven’t arrived in Germany yet.

We checked in yesterday too. I didn't appreciate the 1hr 30 maintenance to the reservation system at check in start time, but we still managed to get boarding group 3 with DCL transport from WDW.

No luggage tags here in Aus yet but we rarely get tags arrive before we leave the country, they travel half way around the world first.

Yes! Got mine yesterday and I live in the Netherlands.

We didn’t know we could do check in early either so only saw the email in the afternoon. So we got group # 12 we don’t know how we are getting to the port yet since we will be staying off site. We could go back to the airport and grab a bus or just get an Uber.

Last time we used the bus from a resort and had 12 too but when we checked in they changed it to 6 . We went to the Platnuim line.

I’m ok with 12 been on this ship a lot so we can go slow . Restaurants don’t open until 12 either so we have been on and had to wait in a line to get in.

I saw this thread today regarding transportation to PC.

The new season of Amazing Race started today! Are you watching?

I haven't been on here in a minute, but, yes, I have been watching! This season feels like another breath of fresh air, the first being 35. I haven't enjoyed a season this much since maybe 29. Loving it!

I was on the phone with my mom yesterday, and she mentioned my luggage tags came in! I'm currently at university, but I will be going home for the weekend in a few weeks for my birthday, so excited to see them soon!

I am not on this cruise but did the WB on the Dream this past October. I took the Azores tour that stops at the pineapple plantation and had a very good time. The volcanoes are all pretty far out of the town so not easy to do on your own. And the roads are curvy but well paved. I know what people mean about the big bus tours but these buses had a front door exit and a 2nd exit around halfway back which made getting on and off a lot easier and quicker. The little gift shop at the pineapple plantation was very nice. We only say one big greenhouse full of the pineapple plants - not acres and acres. Enjoyed the tour - there is not much to see in the town.

The luggage tags are making their way around the U.S. because I received mine today! T - 30 days!

Is anyone else’s check-in still showing as ‘pending review’?

Yes.

It may show that up until a couple days before embarkation.

Is anyone else’s check-in still showing as ‘pending review’?

Yes. As @RedHead0186 said, it’s not unusual to do so until just before we leave.
