Return cruisers....small perk I almost missed....

When you arrive at the terminal....there are two separate entrance rope areas for check in. I waited 10 minutes on the line that seemed to be miles long before noticing a rope area with a Castaway Club sign. I approached the CM that was standing there and asked her if that was for return cruisers and she said yes, as long as you were listed as a castaway club member in the computer. Since my first cruise was a make-a-wish, I had called Disney in advance to make sure I would still be a CC member. Filled with excitement, I followed the roped area only to end up being first in line and sent to the next available person doing check-in. WHAT A WONDERFUL THING!!!!!

If you are going on your 2nd or 52nd cruise......be sure to look for that CC line for check in. It saved me by far over an hour of standing and waiting.

Tracy......p.s. my son was waiting in the line to board the ship while I was checking in, so when it came time to go to the boarding line, I was again up front! Was Great!!!!!

That is definitely the best thing about being a CC member. LOL! It may be the only benefit they give you besides the towel & pins in the stateroom but it does save you quite a bit of time. There was noone in that line when I went to check in on our last cruise & I walked past the growing line with a smile on my face.

Funny, last time we checked in, the CC Member line was LONGER than the newbie line - guess which line we used??

I agree....depending on how many return cruisers there are on any given sailing....the CC line can be longer!!! LOL!!! We have experienced both.....short CC line and long CC line....I still feel special on the CC line, though!!!

We go to whichever line is shorter. Often times the CC line is the longer of the two.

For our December crusie we were one of the first four families in the terminal and the second in line. We had a wait a few minutes for the cast members to set up and then we were in!

Unless of course you are not from the US, then you have to go to the NON-US Line whether you are a CC memeber or not!
