No Plane on Sunday (Jimmy Buffet)

You can throw your luggage down
Lose your cool and stomp around-
But there's nothin, nothin you can do.............

I just had to post these words from the Jimmy Buffet song No Plane on Sunday because I have heard people basically losing their "kewl" (as Scott would say) over their luggage as if it is DCL's fault.

So statistically speaking here. Guess our cruise has been the best of all for the least amount of luggage not showing up when we left Barcelona, Wednesday, July 18th. Guess there were about 100 pieces still missing from those "airlines". Generally seems to happen when people switch from one airline domestically to another airline for their foreign travel. Have heard many stories about it was American Airlines fault according to Iberia Air and then American saying it was Iberia Air that hasn't sent the bags over.

Well 8 days into the cruise and we were on the elevator this morning and one of the cast members from the hotel staff had a piece of luggage with "BCN" on it. I said, oh so another piece from Barcelona showed up? He was so happy, he said "This has been the best cruise yet! We had a 100 bags not make the ship and with this one we are down to 39!" Then he said, last cruise there were 177 pieces of missing luggage.

Just one more reason, why you shouldn't put all your clothes in one bag and take a carry on.

I had one guest tell me as she waited in line to get a picture with Mickey on formal night (1st sea day) that the dress she was wearing (black) was from a cast member for the evening. She had not received any of her luggage and they had arrived in Barcelona Sunday (three days before the cruise). She had been drinking (it was the captain's welcome reception after all) and then she told me that she didn't have any underwear on because she had none (TMI-too much information for me!)

Anyway, don't know if she got her luggage yet, but I haven't seen any panty lines on her, if you know what I mean.

The table next to us at dinner, had a whole group of people come and sing to them last night at dinner. Couldn't figure out what they were singing about, but finally got it "HAPPY LUGGAGE DAY TO YOU, HAPPY LUGGAGE DAY TO YOU"....... Guess their luggage arrived last night in Villefranche. They only waited 7 days for their clothes.

Now.....here's the real question. So your bags finally show up. You have spent $$$$$$ on new clothes for the last eight days of your cruise. You now have to buy another piece of luggage to ship home all the new items you bought that you had not planned on.

Who is paying for the overweight luggage fee on the way home???????
