10 Things NOT to do on a Disney Cruise

[PrincessTrisha]

Uh oh, looks like someone needs to read #7 again!

Perhaps a reminder of number 4 would also be in order?

13. Take photos using flash during any production show.

14. Videotape any production show, especially with the monitor "on" so as to annoy the guests seated behind you.

Ah, showing my age, but I remember the 'Golden Age' of cruising when the ships were elegant and small enough that each passenger was assigned their own deck lounger (teak with a thick pad, of course) AND their own Deck Steward who was always available to service your area of the deck with towels, drinks, etc. I really do miss a more civil society!

WOW!! That would be nice!

I recently saw a new report where the Germans and the British are in a huge battle over hotel pool chairs in Spain. It is a such a problem that new people are putting their stuff on the pool chairs the night before. Others are retaliating by putting honey on said chairs to attract bugs. It is quite a big mess at all hotels over there.

The hotels/travel agents are now instituting a "pre pay for your chair" to try to alleviate the problem...but are only offering it to the Germans. Bizarre!!!

Maybe DCL will go this route...

I just saw this on Nightline a few nights ago! This article has some video of the tourists running for the chairs once the gates are unlocked!! http://blogs.abcnews.com/nightlinedailyline/2009/08/brits-v-germans-a-battle-on-the-beach.html It's unbelievable!

I wish everyone had to take an etiquette class in high school. Life would be nicer but not nearly as interesting.

Please don't let your kid's "rush" or surround the characters.
Kid's can get a little overexcited sometimes and hopefully there is a CM to step in if the parent's or Guardians don't.

They have very limited vision and cannot always see every kid, and sometimes a simple movement can cause a law suit for those that are that way inclined

Mess with Cruella all you like

But:

Those that like to get a discount on their cruise and allow their kid's to do this to characters "because little jonny is only 10 and Scotty is only 15 and they doesn't always remember to behave".

We definitely learned to roll with the punches on our last cruise. My 11 year old granddaughter's suitcase got left in our car at the port. We didn't realize that until all the other suitcases arrived in the room One really can survive when things go wrong. She got new clothes on the ship and in Nassau.

I am a 1/2 full type of person. You really have to scr*w up my dinner order to upset me. I am just happy to be on vacation -- what will be will be.

OP thanks for your posting -- I really enjoyed it.
