Ahoy there, Neal! Welcome back to planDisney.
I’m delighted to see you’ll be sailing on my favorite ship,
Disney Fantasy, in a couple of months. My family and I did this itinerary on the
Disney Dream from Barcelona to Southampton during its inaugural season and had a wonderful time.
While I’m on vacation, it’s easy to lose track of time since I’m having a blast. However, with time zone changes, it’s important to stay in sync with the ship’s time to ensure we don’t miss the “all aboard” time after a fun day at port. From what I recall, we were instructed to change our watches and clocks several times before going to bed during that particular sailing. Since Barcelona and Lisbon are 1 hour apart, I remember needing to set our watches to reflect the local time. Your safest bet is to follow the instructions once you’re onboard. This information can also be found on the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App as well. Thankfully, we had a wonderful stateroom host who reminded us of time changes whenever we ran into him!
As you continue to gear up for your upcoming cruise, please don’t hesitate to visit us on
planDisney again if you have more questions.
Hope to SEA ya real soon,
Kiki
