Thank you, ladies! I couldn’t remember how long it took since I didn’t pay attention on previous cruises.

So, we got the stateroom assignment this week and now it feels like there isn’t much to do but wait until it’s time to pack. I have started thinking about that, pulled out my summer dresses to see how they fit and the small weightloss since last summer does show, which is great!

I also started to print out various documents to have with me in case online doesn’t work. Still need to buy an eSIM card for data in the USA. My trip already starts in 10 days!

Have to get through Easter first my kids are coming home this week . One lives 6 hours away so don’t get to see them as much as I like. I do Easter dinner for other family too so busy week ahead.

We alway set our clothes and stuff we will take out on my son’s bed . It will be used by son, fiance and dog .

It’s easy to pack since we aren’t using summer clothes here yet. We will be heading to Iceland after our cruise that one is hard for me but will only be 2 days so if I don’t get it right I will be fine.

Has anyone ever purchased the DCL WiFi? If so, did it work most of the time?

Not on a TA, but I've used it on most cruises. Yes, it works pretty well. It's not super fast, but gets the job done. There may always be 'dead zones,' especially as we cross the ocean.

Check in finalized! I hope all of you have received your luggage tags by now. The only thing left to do is buy some snacks.

Happy Passover and Easter for those who celebrate it!

Still waiting on our luggage tags, but online check in was approved (and we're working on snacks )!

I finally got the email today that it’s finalized. Feels really nice!

I also got the suitcase out of the basement today and wrote my packing list. I am afraid I am bringing too much stuff… I looked at the current weather in the Azores, Lisbon and Spain and it’s not that warm at all, so will bring two pairs of long pants… And then some nice dresses for the cruise. Before that we are in Orlando for a good week, so need themepark wear. I will get everything packed this weekend (except toiletries). I don’t know how people deal with fish extender stuff on top of their regular stuff!

I am leaving on Tuesday already, going to Berlin for a night with my sister before boarding the plane on Wednesday! The trip is nearly here!!

What kind of snacks are you bringing? I am thinking about tossing a bag of nuts in my bag.

And I think I will pick up a few cans of IPAs in Florida to take onboard.

Safe travels!
