On our first DCL Dream cruise, our cabin steward made us do the same thing when I asked him to take all of the books I had read to the CM library! I did as I was asked, did not want him to get into trouble!

My DD 8 and I will be taking our fourth Disney cruise in a few weeks, but our 1st without DH, as he has to work. In fact, we have canceled a few DCL trips due to his work. I saw a VGT rate pop up a few days ago and decided to just go ahead and book a short getaway for us girls...I still can't believe I hit the purchase button! Neither can my DH...Needless to say, this is the shortest time frame we have ever had to get things together and I simply don't have time to be too creative this time around.

I would like to be prepared with some small bottles of sparkling wine to leave with some of the CMs upon our departure. I would appreciate any information about whether it is easy for the CM and if they are indeed allowed to accept it with no issues. Thanks so much!

No problem at all ! We leave everything & add a little note for the state room host to enjoy ...

I saw some in December in the kitchen department of Dillards department store if you have that where you live. They were actually the same price as the Nassau store.

I think we often meet people for a reason. I am Facebook friends with a former DCL CM I meet on a past cruise. My story is of taking a tour of Nassau, we were on our first Disney Cruise after 6 on Carnival to Nassau. We just wanted to take a taxi to the Atlantis. My DS 17 suggested we take a tour and picked out a loud woman to join her group. It was a fun informative tour. We looked for her two months later but could not find her. I made a point find her card and arrange a tour for my other DS and my DH. She meet us and we had a private tour. Six years later and she is my best friend. She has visited WDW with us and I have stayed with her in Nassau. She attended my sons wedding. We are like family. While taking a chance on a stranger is not something I would normally do, I think we meet people for a reason.

Keeping in touch with those who have touched our lives, and whooshes lives we have touched can be special.

On our last cruise, our table mates privately gifted our lead server with a small bottle of scotch. We later learned that the poor woman had to hide the bottle for fear of reprimand. In a separate discussion with a Palo server, we then learned all cast members are subject to periodic cabin inspections - no hard liquor allowed. I'm not definitely sure how beer or wine plays into this scenario, but we decided to stick with candy going forward. We would be so sorry to see a well intentioned thought result in negative consequences for anyone.
