Ahoy, Amy, and welcome back to planDisney!
It sounds like you have a holly-jolly
Very Merrytime Bahamian cruise coming up soon! One thing you definitely won’t want to miss is the magical Tree Lighting Ceremony in the atrium on embarkation night...t’s the perfect way to kick off your holiday voyage.
As a
Platinum Castaway Club member, you can begin your online check-in and select your Port Arrival Time 38 days before your sailing, which means your window opens on November 4, 2025. You’re a well-seasoned cruiser, so you probably know that Platinum guests also receive a complimentary dinner at
Palo, which is one of my absolute favorite dining experiences at sea! Be sure to secure your reservation ahead of time so you don’t miss out on the Dover Sole and the delicious Chocolate Soufflé.
To make your online check-in go as smoothly as possible, have your passport or travel documents ready to upload in advance. You’ll also need to upload a headshot similar to your passport photo (no glasses, hats, or head coverings, and with a plain background). I recommend logging in right at 12:00 AM EST the day your check-in opens for the best chance at your preferred Port Arrival Time.
I Ho-Ho-Hope this helps, Amy! If you have any more questions as you prepare, please sail back to planDisney anytime.
Sea ya real soon,
Eean
