ACTIVITIES ONBOARD
1. Go to at least one program/activity a day. The cruise staff is great, and you get to meet people other than the ones you see at meals.
2. Play bingo. It's a blast. WARNING - BINGO IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE, but FUN, FUN, FUN!! WARNING – IT IS EXPENSIVE, but FUN, FUN, Fun!!!!
3. Walk off that extra dessert on deck 4. If you are a walker or jogger you'll be happy to know you can do so on deck 4. This promenade deck goes all the way around. Four (4) laps equals a mile.
4. Rather do your walking on a treadmill? Then head up to the spa. The gym portion is free and open to all adults. Added bonus here. While you are on the treadmill you can look down on the bridge!
BEFORE YOUR CRUISE
1. Join your cruise meet thread & participate. That way you get to know some of the people with whom you are cruising. It makes the cruise so much fun.
2. If you don't already have it, order the cruise DVD from reservations - then plays it for you kids often! They will be more comfortable with what to expect and it "extends" your vacation by thinking about the fun before you even get there!
3. Arrange to have your mail held and stop your newspaper delivery.
4. DO your cruise documents online, PRINT THEM OUT AND BRING THEM WITH YOU!
5. If you're doing Disney excursions sign up online before your cruise OR
6. Check out the shore excursion info on the
DCL website and then contact the vendors directly. You can sometimes save a bundle on the very same event. When one DISer went on the Mexican Rivera cruise the Dolphin encounter with all the bells and whistles booked through the ship would have been $300+, but when the place was contacted directly the same excursion including the DVD was $75+/-. You will have to make your own transportation arrangements there and back and won't get the lunch if it is included in the DCL package but the savings more than offsets that.
7. Use a label maker to tag everything that might leave the room. One DISer got his/her disposable camera back this way. Make and bring extra labels in case you forget something.
8. Turn off the water to your house. If your water heater decides to go while you are gone, or the water line to the fridge goes, or a hose on the washer goes, etc. you will not have a mess when you come home.
9. Put contact info on your memory cards for your camera or on tape media if using a camcorder. If you drop them you might be able to get them back.
10. Take advantage of the ability to send a box to the ship ahead of time - a great way to get FE gifts or pirate gear on board without giving up valuable luggage space. In the box, include what you want to ship and a packing list detailing the contents of the box. Address your package(s) to:
Disney Cruise Line Warehouse
Guest Name / Stateroom # (GTY, if you don't know what it is when you send the package)
8633 Transport Drive
Orlando, FL 32832
Phone: 407-566-8196
11. Type up address labels to apply to postcards. That way you and your family have the addresses at hand and you just peel and stick onto the postcard, write your private message and then send. Also, at the end of the cruise you will get color coded luggage tags to put on your luggage. Information needed is: (1) Number of pieces of luggage (1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3), (2) Stateroom number, (3) Name, (4) address (including city, state and zip code). Make those up in advance on your address labels. Then when you have to pack it will make it a little quicker. Plus by being printed it is easier for the porters who unload the ship to help keep your pieces together. Tag measures approximately 4 inches wide by 2.5 inches tall to help you figure out which size label to use. Or, use the freebie address labels that you get in the mail. My luggage tags were oval shaped.
BOARDING DAY
1. Arrive early on Day 1 of Cruise to have more time on the ship and to eat lunch. The port opens at 10:00 a.m. & boarding starts around noon. Characters come out to greet guests in the terminal. So, have your camera ready or just let the Shutters’ photographer take the picture. You can also give your camera to a CM to take the picture.
2. Check EVERYTHING (except for your meds, valuables, camera, etc.), eat, tour the ship, and then go to your room.
3. Either wear your swimsuits under your clothes when boarding, or bring them in a day bag (there are several restrooms near the pools where you can change). One of the best times for a not so crowded swim is in the period of time between embarkation and the safety drill.
4. Lunch is served at both BBB (outside) and Parrot Cay (where it's easier to leave luggage since a server will assign you a table). Both serve the same thing so you just have to decide whether you want to eat outside or inside.
5. Not real hungry or have kids that want to head right to the pools, then head up to deck 9, grab a table and chairs by the pool, grab burgers, hot dogs, and chicken fingers at Pluto’s, and let the kids swim. Also, one person in your party can go through the buffet and bring back food to the table.
6. Attend your DIS meet to get to meet the people you were chatting with for so long.
CAMERAS
1. Take lots of pictures! Take pictures of everything, if you don't you might regret not having a photo of something.
2. The best time to find characters is during the sail-away celebration.
3. Take all the memory cards you own. Once you've finished one, put it in a separate place from your camera so if you lose one, you don't lose both.
4. Bring two waterproof cameras with you if you are planning on doing something like parasailing or jet skiing. That way you can get two different perspectives. For example one person can take one camera up with them if they are parasailing and give the other to someone in the boat. That person can take pictures of you going up and coming down and you can take pictures while you are up in the sky. Also, they are good to use at
Castaway Cay while just sitting/playing in the water.
5. Give your kids their own disposable camera, and another disposable waterproof camera. Let them take a picture of whatever they want. But once they use it up they are done. You will get some great candid shots.
CARRYON CONTENTS
1. Don't bring on so many carry-ons when boarding. The will get in the way and are not-so-fun to carry around until your rooms opens up around 1:30PM.
2. Your carryon bag should include all prescription medications; travel documents including your
trip insurance, if they are not in your wallet or purse; sunscreen; sunglasses; bottled beverage(s) of choice (ahem!); camera, batteries, memory cards, etc. and charger; cell phone charger; and a couple of postcards that you can start writing while you wait to get into your stateroom.
3. Bring a luggage carrier or something w/wheels for the soft pack cooler since you can carry on beer and wine.
4. Bring your own beverages and mixers and cups w/ lids to mix the drinks.
5. Bring an extra carryon filled with bottles of water. You can buy less expensive bottled water at home and, as you drink the water, you are emptying the suitcase for souvenirs to bring home.
CASTAWAY CAY
1. The post office sometimes runs out of post cards. Buy your Castaway Cay Postcards at Mickey’s Mates, and fill them out prior to leaving the ship for Castaway Cay, drop them off at post office first thing, you'll save time. If the Post Office is not open, leave your post cards at guest services & ask if a CM will mail them next time the ship docks at CC. You'll need some cash for postage, so don't forget small change.
2. At Cookies BBQ, the line right in front is sometimes long (facing beach) go around the right side, and you'll find another serving station that is usually empty.
3. There is a fruit stand on the other side of Cookies, closer to the ship.
4. You can have your purchases sent to your stateroom from the shop on CC.
5. Bring a beach bag or something to lug stuff out to Castaway Cay and use on other excursions.
6. Snorkel early at CC - the bottom gets stirred up bad and visibility becomes very limited.
7. For those with kids or those who are kids at heart, bring your own sand toys for Castaway Cay.
8. There are free wagons at CC. This is very helpful for toting all your bags or little one.
9. Use baby powder to sprinkle on sandy feet, wait a second and the sand just brushes away with a towel.
10. Don’t forget to put on Safe Sea which stops jellyfish and sea lice stings.
DINNER
1. Though some people say arrive 5-10 minutes after your scheduled seating time, this can be very inconsiderate to your tablemates and servers as they try to serve everyone at the same time.
2. Tell your server that you want the kids served first and they will get them out very quickly, then one parent can drop them off at the club or the lab and be back before the main course is served. Most of the waiters watch and know not to bring your food when you are delivering you kids to the club. This allows you to enjoy time with the kids and still have a leisurely dinner to yourselves.
3. If you are full at dinner, ask for your waiter to pack up dessert to go.
4. You may order anything you want off the menus. Your servers will be happy to mix and match menu items, even combining veggies from one entree with main course from others. You can also get multiples (more than one appetizer, main course, dessert, etc. so you can sample more things). If you like one of the sides on the entrees, but it’s not with the entre you are ordering, request that side and your server will bring a small dish of it out to you. Bring an appetite but try not to be wasteful.
5. If you do not want to get dressed up for your normal dinner seating – you can go to Topsider's or Beach Blanket for a more relaxed meal. This is offered each night except the first and last of the cruise.
6. Talk to your servers, they are really interesting people and come from all over the world. Also, let them know right off the bat if there are things you absolutely do not like. They will tailor their recommendations to your likes.
7. If you have something at a meal that you particularly like, ask for the recipe, your Head Server can usually get it for you.
8. If you speak with your head waiter you can preorder any dish from any of the menus and they will prepare it special for you. It must be done the night before, same thing if you have allergies and need to modify the way they prepare the dishes.
9. You can (try) to request a specific restaurant outside of your dining rotation and they will accommodate you if they have room (according to Mousesavers).
10. You can order off both the adult’s & kid’s menus.
11. Don't hesitate to ask your server for a Mickey Bar for dessert (off the kid's menu). They will be happy to deliver it to you. It comes in a bowl, covered with sprinkles!
12. Call DCL ahead of time to note any food allergies and/or medical conditions (e.g., diabetes) that you or your family members may have.
DISEMBARKING
1. The instructions on disembarking will be broadcasted continually on the stateroom televisions on the last full day.
2. Your luggage needs to be outside of your door by 11 pm with the character tags on it that they will give you on that last day (BTW, big tip....take address labels with your name/address on them and then all you'll have to do is fill in stateroom number and your number of bags--i.e. 1 out of 3, 2 out of 3). As you disembark the ship you'll be directed to the luggage holding room where it will all be categorized based on who was on your character tag (Donald, Mickey, Daisy, Tinkerbell, etc) so remember your character.
3. Do not wait until the last night to pack. Use a collapsible hamper and store it under the desk for laundry during the cruise. Empty it periodically into a large laundry bag and put that into one of the pieces of luggage that are stored under the bed.
4. On the morning of the last full day, pack all of the remaining clothes EXCEPT an outfit to wear off the ship the next morning which you can wear after the final show if you want to spend the evening walking around the ship, visiting friends, and/or going to the ‘Til We Meet Again show, one outfit for each of you with shoes to wear to dinner, PJs for the last night, and a swim suit to use at Castaway Cay. After coming back from Castaway Cay rinse the suits and pack them in a couple of 2 gallon ziploc bags and put them in the front pocket of one of the big suitcases. After the show come back to the room and change into the outfits you will wear off the ship and pack up your dinner clothes and shoes in that last bag and put all your suitcases in the hall. In the morning all you have left to do is pack a carryon with the last of the stuff in the bathroom.
5. Make sure you leave a set of clothes out for debarking. People have been known to pack EVERYTHING the night before and leave the ship in their nightgowns, pajamas, etc.
6. If you have early dining, then you will be assigned the early breakfast time (6:30 a.m. I believe). If you do not want to go to breakfast that early, you can go to the buffet and eat there or in the morning bring some pastries and fresh fruit back to the room for breakfast, and then disembark.
7. Do not disembark early - that is for people who are rushing to catch a plane or other transportation or rushing to get to the parks. If you have nothing to rush to, be the last ones off the ship! Do not go to breakfast in the restaurant - go to the buffet, pick up a tray and fill it for everyone in your cabin. Back at the cabin, take your time, have a nice shower, breakfast on the verandah in port - relax - the cruise is not over yet! When you are ready, you can walk off the boat; no crowds easily find your luggage and cruise through customs. You have to be off the ship by 9:00 a.m.
8. Luggage at disembarkation is located in room order. Porters are there to assist them. Use them.
9. Use the address labels you made before you left to place on the luggage tags.
10. Once you & your family leave the stateroom, you will not be able to go back into the stateroom.
EXTRA THINGS TO PACK TO USE IN YOUR ROOM
1. Roll of bubble wrap for anything you buy that's breakable.
2. When traveling with little ones (toddlers) take along a bath mat for the shower/tub and baby bath bubbles to use to get the sunscreen off of them. Don't forget a little bath toy. The bath mat rolls up easy and/or just lays flat in luggage.
3. Over the door shoe holders. Take two for the split bath, one for toiletries and the other for the shoes. Buy the cheap ones and leave them t here.
4. Air freshener (for the bathroom) and dryer sheets (for the clothing storage areas) to keep everything smelling fresh. Rather than just air freshener for the bathroom, pack a small can of Lysol, does double duty as an air freshener and surface sanitizer. The Glade Flameless candle can also be used.
5. Extension cord for iPod, hair dryer, cameras, travel clock, etc. Easy to plug things in overnight and take them for the next day.
6. Different color highlighters to mark navigators.
7. Post its and pens for the room. Great to leave notes for the family who “cross like ships in the night” or even for your cabin steward.
8. Bring a well lit digital clock/travel clock if you like to see what time it is in middle of night, attach to extension cord. For most standard staterooms a good place to keep the clock is on top of the storage trunk.
9. Bring hand sanitizer and/or liquid hand soap. Frequent hand washing is the best defense against getting sick on a cruise or period. Also bring Lysol wipes and wipe down the telephone as well as TV remote.
10. Little bathroom cups for rinsing your mouth after brushing your teeth.
11. Dish soap to wash items in the sink and hang to dry or to wash snorkel gear in the bathtub.
12. Clothes pins for hanging up wet suits in the shower and to close curtains to keep that morning sun out of your room!
13. Bring 2 bungee cords (one for each door) if you have connecting rooms to keep the doors open. They are heavy doors and will not stay open by themselves. If closed, you cannot open them from the other stateroom.
14. Little flash lights and pass them out to your family. Also keep 1 in the bath room. Flashlights that only work while you are holding down the button. This solves the problem of the little angels falling asleep with the security flashlight on and going through a set of batteries every other night! Or, keep the light on in the bathroom and shut the door, light comes from underneath and works fine.
15. Nightlight for bathroom.
16. Your own hairdryer. The ones in the cabins are weak.
17. 3M command hooks are great for hanging hats & jackets/sweaters.
18. Mesh laundry bags – one for colored clothes and one for white clothes.
19. Wire hangers to hang your clothes. The wooden ones take up a lot of room if you have a lot of hanging clothes and 4 persons in your cabin OR leave the hangers at home and ask your stateroom attendant for more.
20. Extra batteries for any battery operated items, i.e. cameras, flashlight, I-Pods, travel clock, etc.
21. Crayons, books and plain paper for kids during the down time (is there such a thing on DCL) in the room --- have them make a "picture" scrapbook for when they get back home!
22. Assorted sizes of zip bags! They are life savers! You can keep books, camera, etc. in them, especially when you go to CC. You can use sandwich zip bags to put cereal in for snacks (if the ship is using dispensers for cereal).
23. Lanyards for your KTTWs.
24. Two-way radios.
25. Soft sided cooler to bring off the ship for excursions and beaches.
26. Buttonhole extenders (in case you eat too much ;-))
27. Bring (especially if you have a verandah) a small pair of binoculars. It's great for looking at passing islands, dolphins, etc. Be sure that the kids keep the cord around their necks when they're using them so they don't drop them overboard.
28. Windex wipes to clean your glass on your veranda - the salt spray accumulates and obstructs the view (the 1/4" glass is clear).
29. Several large-mouth plastic bottles (that will fit into your collapsible cooler) for excursions, or for keeping drinks & water in your stateroom beverage cooler. Keep them full of ice/water from the drink station and make your own ice tea, lemonade, Crystal Lite, etc.
30. Baby powder - sprinkle it on sandy feet, wait a second and the sand just brushes away with a towel.
31. If you can, either pack or send beforehand sand toys. The ones to purchase there can be expensive.
32. A portable hard drive if you don't want to bring your laptop and use it to download your pictures to each day using the shipboard computers.
33. If you are traveling with a baby, bring a couple of extra "binkies" or pacifier's of the type and brand your child likes. A lost binky can make a good day go bad really quick...
34. Get individually wrapped hand sanitizer sheets - they can clean almost anything. You can get them at most warehouse stores. You can also go to Smart and Final (or your local equivalent) and get individually wrapped moist towelettes, super handy and they pack small.
35. "Off" brand bug repellant makes towelettes which also come in handy if you are going somewhere where bugs are abundant.
36. Check your local dollar store for book lights. They pack really small and come in really handy.
37. Safety pins can come in super handy and also a needle and clear thread in case you need to make a quick repair on anything (like replacing a button or repairing a strap on your evening gown).
38. Small strips of Velcro - used this to keep our closet doors from sliding open and slamming shut with the movement of the ship.
39. Hydrocortisone for any rashes (e.g., rash from sand fleas) and Vitamin E cream for sunburn.
40. Don't forget the duct tape.
41. A pitcher with water filter instead of buying or bringing water on board.
FOOD & DRINK RELATED
1. Notify DCL ahead of time regarding allergies or special dietary concerns.
2. Sodas/beverages are free at:
The 24-hour drink station (self-serve)
When ordered at any of the sit-down restaurants (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
The buffets (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
Any of the self-serve drink stations on Castaway Cay
Sodas/beverages are not free:
When ordered at any of the bars (onboard and at Castaway Cay)

When purchased by the theaters
When purchased as part of a Cooler pack from a cast member
When purchased as a case of water from a cast member
3. The beverage station located aft on deck nine that includes milk, tea, coffee, water, juice and or lemonade.
4. You can make ice cream sodas and/or milkshakes on your own at the beverage station and Goofy's Galley - Coke floats using vanilla ice cream from Scoops and Coke from the 24-hour drink station or Banana splits using bananas from Goofy's Galley, vanilla & chocolate ice cream from Scoops, and chocolate & caramel toppings from Scoops.
5. Pack ice cream cones and/or sundae toppings (nuts, marshmallows, sprinkles/jimmies, chocolate, etc.) for Goofy's Galley.
6. Take big gulp sized mugs for the beverage station to cut out the amount of refills you need to run up for. Use the cups provided by DCL to refill your large cup to prevent contamination.
7. Bring a cup carrier (like from McDonalds etc.) to carry your fountain drinks back to your room.
8. Bring several large-mouth plastic bottles (that will fit into your collapsible cooler) for excursions, or for keeping drinks & water in your stateroom beverage cooler. You can also fill these easily with Ice, water, etc. from the drink station on Deck 9.
9. If you buy the refillable beer mug bring it back to the next cruise and save yourself the cost of the mug again. Just pack it in your suitcase. DCL policy states you have to buy a new one each cruise.
10. You can request a cork screw and wine glasses from your stateroom host/hostess.
11. The Cove Cafe Fanatic "frequent user" cards are buy 5 coffee drinks, get one free. You can use them on multiple cruises to save up the "stamps" (the CM just marks it with a pen) until you get to 5. It's just a small business card sized card, which can be slipped into your lanyard pouch behind your KTTW card so it was always with you. You can probably also combine them, like a couple could just use one card to get coffee drinks and pass it back and forth. All alcoholic drinks, non-alcoholic drinks, and gourmet coffees are available for an additional charge. Guests who purchase a specialty coffee mug – available in Cove Café and other shops onboard – are entitled to a complimentary coffee in Cove Café. Snacks are complimentary. Cove Café is for adults only (18 & up).
12. Though the drinks in the Cove Café are not free, the snacks in the Cove Café are free.
13. Bring back some fruit from the breakfast buffet and boxes of cereal to snack on. Fruit is available at Goofy's Galley throughout the day.
14. Skip the lunch buffet at least once and eat at Tritons/Lumiere's.
15. In the buffet there is a 'hidden' stairwell on both sides, right past the cereal(breakfast)/dessert(lunch) bars, a lot of mornings one of us will go load up a tray and use them to bring it back down to the cabin, it's always empty vs the main stairs or the elevators. You'll quickly get familiar with the route if you're aft as it's also mostly the path for the safety drill.
16. If you are celebrating something and forgot to make note of it when you made your reservation, be sure to tell your head server as much in advance as you can. It is amazing what they can make happen for you!
17. Not sure if you want to eat breakfast or lunch at Triton's or up at Beach Blanket? Here's a tip. They post the menu for Triton's near the back entrance (the hallway right near the Promenade lounge). Stop by there and see if there is something on the menu you'd love. If not head on up to the buffet on deck 9.
FISH EXTENDER
1. Personalize your fish extender so there will be less chance for it to “float away.”
2. Secure your fish extender with a cable tie to the fish outside your stateroom door.
3. Put labels on the back saying "Stolen from the XXXX Family"
KIDS
1. Register your kids online for the clubs & book online for the nursery.
2. Talk to your kids about the clubs ahead of time. Let them look at some navigators that others have posted. If available, have them watch the DCL videos that are out there.
3. Show your kids the clubs and nursery on embarkation day so they can become acquainted with the room.
4. Make sure you have the CM test the pager before you leave the club.
5. Bring books and plain paper for kids during the down time in the room. Have them make a picture for the scrapbook when they get back home. Crayons are provided for the children at the table.
6. Tell your server that you want the kids served first and they will get them out very quickly, then one parent can drop them off at the club or the lab and be back before the main course is served. Most of the waiters watch and know not to bring your food when you are delivering you kids to the club. This allows you to enjoy time with the kids and still have a leisurely dinner to yourselves.
7. The counselors in the children’s programming are not tipped positions, but appreciate a small gift (candy is a popular gift).
8. Let your kids involved in the kids program right away. The sooner they meet kids the easier it is to make friends. Once the friends “pair up” it is more difficult to break in.
9. If your child is in Scuttle Cove remember to return every couple of hours to reapply sunscreen as the CMs are not allowed to apply it.
10. Give your kids a spending limit and then let them spend it as they wish. You may not think that a rubber snake is a great remembrance, but tell that to a six year old
. This is a great use of your free shipboard credit (and it can be split amongst KTTW cards by the ship).
11. You can note on your reservation or ask your stateroom host for a diaper genie and/or a pack ‘n play.
12. Pack a bath mat for the bath tub so your little one won’t slip during bath time.
13. Make a “dining bag” for each night of the cruise with disposable spoon or form, disposable bib, disposable placemats (if you want), and wipes. Doing this you can just grab the bag and go if you are running late.
14. You can take your baby to the kids’ club and have them play there as long as you stay with your baby.
LUGGAGE/PACKING (Besides your, passport &/or birth certificate, picture ID, clothes, underwear, & swimsuit)
1. Pack half the clothes and twice the cash.
2. Roll you clothes. You can fit more in the suitcase if you do this.
3. An empty duffle bag exclusively for souvenirs and gifts (member cruise) and/or dirty laundry. Invariably, you wind up going home with way more stuff than you came with.
4. 2.5 gallon zip bags makes packing and travel much easier. Put socks, underwear, and a complete kid’s outfit in individual Ziploc bags. Then roll it to get the air out or compress it somehow. If your bags are searched at the airport, your clothes will not get touched and/or it’s much easier to stay organized especially with a full stateroom. If kids can dress themselves, then they will know to just grab a bag and everything they need will be in that bag.
5. Instead of packing the normal sized toothpaste, shaving cream, deodorants and stuff, buy the sample sized ones and leave them behind when you come home. They are almost used up anyway.
6. Pack your clothes that you don't want to iron on hangers and in dry cleaning bags for your suit bag - you won't have nearly as many wrinkles (your drycleaner will give you extra bags if you ask for them).
7. Pack one suitcase full of stuff, and then put that suitcase inside another one. Then when you get where you're going, you've got an extra, empty suitcase for all the stuff you know you're going to buy!
8. In case of lost luggage, make sure that each person has some full outfits in each suitcase.
9. To cut down on clothing, bring a nice pair of black slacks. They go with just about everything, and just change tops each night. Plus you only need one pair of nice black dress shoes to go with them.
10. If and ONLY IF the weather is not too hot and not too humid the nights you wear a polo to dinner, the next day you can wear the same shirt (if you didn't get it to pitted/stinky partying the night before). You should be able to pack 3 or 4 less shirts (therefore less stuff in the suitcase).
11. Save your old socks, underwear, swimsuits, etc and have them make a one way trip with you. By tossing out old clothes you'll have LOTS of room for souvenirs et al when you pack to come home.
MAGNETS
1. Visit the creative DISigns board or cruise magnets thread to request magnet designs.
2. Use magnets to help identify your door.
3. Personalize your magnets so they will not “float away.”
4. Put labels on the back saying "Stolen from the XXXX Family" or “This magnet belongs to room # xxxx.”
5. Magnets that have name and room number on them are less likely to disappear.
MEDICAL SUPPLIES
1. "Keep cool" or "migraine ice" adhesive strips-slap one on the back of your neck and lower your body temp immediately.
2. Ask your pharmacist for the smallest bottles available with your prescription labels on them (can pack just enough for the trip and don't have to schlep around the larger bottles/worry about having prescription meds without the prescription verification).
3. Vinegar can be applied to jelly fish stings. Vinegar is available from room service!! Vinegar can also be used for sunburns. Soak a wash cloth in it and apply to the burn.
4. Bring Sea-Bands for motion sickness. Ginger Root is also great for motion sickness. You can go to herbsforkids on the net to get it in liquid form for the kiddies.
5. Papaya Enzyme chewable tablets, helps digest food in case you eat something that doesn't agree with you.
6. Correctol, gentle laxative, for men or women. Nothing worse than have that bloated feeling while on a cruise.
7. If the ship stores are closed and you need a toiletry item of some kind you can ask at guest services. They have aspirin, feminine products, and seasick meds.
MONEY
1. Bring SMALL bills for porters, Castaway Cay postage, Room Service tips, etc.
2. If you are driving to Port Canaveral from WDW don’t forget change for the tolls. If you are driving to Port Canaveral from WDW don’t forget change for the tolls. Depending on the route you take, you will need between $2.50 to $3.50 depending on the route you take.
