Overall, a great job. You have a few errors in here, but they may reflect changes since old ideas were posted.

Your room steward will be happy to prop open the connecting doors for you--no need to bring bungee cords.

The safes are being changed to a "you set the combination" deal--no need for card. OK, which ship has been changed already? (sorry...too many recent sailings!)

If you have leftovers that you wish to give to your stateroom host, you need to give it to him, not just leave it. If you leave it, they are obligated to turn it in to the lost and found.

The dessert buffet is at 11, not midnight.

The Castaway reception is not a cocktail party--it is mid day and has soft drinks, tea, coffee, bottled water, etc. The Captain's Gala is for everyone (not just repeat cruisers) and is in the atrium. There is very little seating for anyone, whether you arrive early or not.

I don't understand the comment about a pre-set amount to charge on your child's card. Unless something has changed very recently, a card either has or does not have charging. There was no way to limit the amount other than by a verbal agreement between the parent and child.

Phone cards are really not a good CM gift any more as most have cell phones. Munchies are always appreciated by CMs in non-tipped positions. i-tune cards are becoming popular (write CM's name on card if you want this to go to a specific person!)

There is no longer a "boarding line" at the terminal. You will be given a boarding group number as you enter the check in line. Your whole party is free to roam the terminal, etc. until your number is called.

You no longer have any use for quarters on the Magic--the laundry machines now operate on KTTW swipes. The Wonder is scheduled to be changed over, but it's currently on quarters.

Reconsider $2 bills--some US store clerks don't recognize them and think they're fake. You're trying to be nice in tipping, not make problems for the CM.

Who Wants to be a Mousketeer is no longer in the WD theatre. It is a very "minimalized" version of the original and is in Studio Sea. You'll get a paper with your number on it when you enter--disregard the seating tip above.

While your bags will not be inspected as you leave the ship, DCL does not recommend that you take any food from the ship as they cannot assure proper storage to keep the food safe. In some ports, bringing in certain foods (unprocessed fruits, veges, meats) is illegal.

As I said, all in all, a masterful job. These are not intended to be critical, just accurate updates.
