Heres a tip and packing list I have been working on maybe it will help?
(Can we say "Over pack?)
Marine Life Bite/Stings symptoms:
* Possible marks
* Pain
* Swelling
* Possible allergic reaction
Care
* If jellyfish-soak area in vinegar.
* If sting ray - soak area in non-scalding hot water(as hot as you can stand) until pain goes away
* Clean and bandage wound
* Call local emergency number, if necessary
Moray eel
If you ever get bitten by a moray eel, you can forget all about vinegar, meat tenderizer, hot water and what-not. These just won't help. You need to see a physician and get some antibiotics as soon as possible.
For Sting Ray and Jelly Fish
# Deactivate the remaining stingers. In the case of a plain old jelly fish sting, place a 5% percent acetic acid solution (white vinegar) on the sting with a clean cloth. Blotting or pouring the vinegar over the affected area is the preferred method.
# If no vinegar is available you can use any type of meat tenderizer to bring out the venom. See Warnings regarding the meat tenderizer treatment.
# Deactivate the remaining stingers by washing the sting area with salt water (sea water) if none of the previous ingredients are available.
# Remove deactivated stingers by applying shaving foam to the sting area. Scrape the skin closely with a razor or other straight edge such as a knife blade or even a credit card.

Create Than-you cards for tipped and other crew members.
Dis-Tag Participants - start with the person directly below your name. Deliver your item and leave the Mickey magnet at the top of their door. Should your item be too large to fit in the fish mail holder, locate any Stateroom Host/ess and request they take your item directly into the room (may not be a bad idea to inform your Stateroom Host/ess you will be expecting deliveries). When someone leaves you an item & mickey magnet, deliver your surprise & received Mickey magnet to the next person on your list and so on. When you get to the last person participating at the bottom of the page...start at the top of the list. Continue until you get to the person listed above YOUR name. If, by end of day Wednesday, you still have item(s) to deliver, please complete your deliveries by end of day Thursday (OK by noon Friday). REMINDER participating in this game is an opportunity to enhance your cruising experience (period) have fun with this have fun 'delivering smiles' to our new friends. Most importantly cherish the time you will be spending with those you love.
\IISer Tag data: Each team/room received a list o w/cabin numbers and a tag magnet. Each team started with the first name on their list and delivered their goody bag and put the dis tag magnet on the top left of the door. Whenever you received a bag/magnet you then delivered to the next person on your list. Some of the magnets went missing during the game but if you got a treat bag you knew to deliver a bag. Bag contents were super varied and all very thoughtful: lots of items for pirate night (tattoos, stickers, gold coins, bubbles, etc.), tons of snacks and candy for the movie theatre, bunches of Disney themed items (even got a really neat picture frame), magnets, postcards and items from hometowns (bottle of someone's local BBQ sauce was the most unique!) and little toys/trinkets, etc. The bags we made had a special magnet we designed for the cruise, pooh, Mickey head and Disney princess post-it pads w/magnets on the back, metallic gel pen w/Mickey head cap, Disney stickers, pooh mechanical pencil, Mickey dry erase marker, small highlighter (for navigator), Disney magnet and candy
Teen Rules Aboard Ship
1. Must have dinner as family.
2. No going into other cabins but ours.
3. No visitors to our cabin.
5. Charging limit of ??? per day.
6. Must be with parent at all times when leaving ship in foreign port.
#5. On 7nt cruise, Who Wants to be a Mouseketeer show, wait to sit down until everyone else is. Pick out an empty row or one that has very few people. When the computer picks seats for the "Hot Seat" it is done randomly. If the seat is empty they go to the next closest one. So....if your row is practically empty you have a better chance.
Don't leave "Disney Dreams" early. This is a "must-see" show, but at the end, don't join the people who leave before the final bows. There is still one more surprise to see.
Allow your kids to participate in the kids program at the end of the cruise. They get free t-shirts.
- order sandwiches /chicken strips and all hands on deck tray the night before a day on land and put them in your soft-side cooler. Megans Bay in St. Thomas was super expensive for food and wished we had our sandwiches that we had in St. Martin from the boat.
-store all life vest and suitcases under bed to give more shelf space
Pre-Written address computer labels for post cards.
3) Skip the lunch buffet at least once, and eat at Tritons/Lumiere's
9) Play, or at least attend Jackpot bingo the last night. It's a blast.
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 jammies!!!
By tossing out old clothes you'll have LOTS of room for souvenirs et al when you pack to come home.
We like to take a mesh laundry bag (Wal-Mart) and hang it in the closet (loop over the hanger) and put dirty clothes in there, when we pack, all the dirty clothes are together in one suitcase.
Use label maker to tag everything that might leave the room... we got a disposable camera back this way..... Make and bring extra labels incase you forget something
If you do not want to get dressed up for your normal dinner seating -- there is always an alternative site available for a served meal in Parrot Cay, Lumiere's, or the Topsider's area (where the afternoon buffet is)."
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.
The last night of your cruise you pack everything up except what you will need in the morning (clothes and grooming supplies) Your luggage needs to be outside of your door by 11pm 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)
In the morning pack up all the rest in a carry on and take it to breakfast. 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, etc)
