DCL Onboard Restricted Items Policy Updates: Decorations, Ducks and Ashes and More

[Husker Mike]

None of this should be a surprise, as we've seen photos and reports of people pushing the envelope on decorations and the like.

I'll need clarity on the gaming system before we sail. My teens have a Nintendo Switch that they hook up to the TV at home. But when we travel, they use it as a handheld when we're in airports or hotel rooms.

As long as they use it handheld and not connect to the tv (don’t even bring the dock and cords) it will be fine

Has the source been confirmed?? It's not that I dont believe the original post but I like to know sources and be able to confirm information.

I can confirm

Can you bring a DVD player that attaches to the TV?

No

I see it more as “so and so travel agency” or “so and so custom magnets” “so and so small business” “so and so blogger” where your trying to get business from people walking by

That would be my guess - especially given that they fairly recently cracked down on people offering their services - for a fee (but generally lower than the VIP tours) - as tour guides in the WDW parks by trespassing them and banning them from property.

 

[Dug720]

No

Agreed. Anything that requires moving cables around and changing the settings. There are too many times people have done that and messed up the tv for the next guests in the cabin. This is another one I'm happy about.

Did you mean to say DVD?

What if you brought your own tv?

This was recently updated onboard but not on the website yet, following shoreside visits to various ships so your mileage may vary depending on the crew members and their managers if they’ve been trained on the updates:

• Popcorn buckets and Beer Mugs purchased on previous cruises may be brought onboard. However, they may not be refilled.

• Guests are welcome to place magnetic signs on their stateroom doors with the exception of Concierge Guests on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.
  • Guests are prohibited from affixing any magnetic signs that carry any other company name than Disney

• A Guest may bring rubber ducks onboard. However, pool toys (e.g., rubber ducks) cannot be used in the pools.
  
  Note: Guests cannot hide things, such as rubber ducks, in staterooms or public areas.

• A Piggyback Rider or similar child carrier may be brought onboard the ship; however, it cannot be used onboard.
  
  In ports of call, it would be the Guests' discretion to use it.
  
  
• Gaming units such as Playstation®, Xbox and Nintendo that require TV connection cannot be brought onboard the ships. Virtual Reality (VR) headsets or similar video game consoles are also prohibited.
  
  These devices are not compatible with, and cannot be connected to, stateroom televisions.
• Guests may bring store bought collapsible lightsabers onboard.
  
  Guests should refrain from bringing homemade lightsabers onboard, as they may experience disappointment and delay in boarding.
  
  Any items allowed onboard are up to the discretion of the security team.
  
  Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Lightsabers:
  • Lightsabers built at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge are not collapsible and, therefore, may not be brought onboard.
  • Guests should be encouraged to inquire about shipping services through Walt Disney World when purchasing the lightsaber, or make other arrangements.

• Disney Cruise Line regrets that the Crew Members onboard are unable to provide food preparation, refrigeration or storage for personal food or beverage items. As Disney Cruise Line cannot verify the cleanliness of the environment in which pre-cooked or homemade food items were prepared, for the safety of all Guests and crew, these items are not permitted aboard the ship.

• Samsung Galaxy Note7 devices may not brought onboard.

• Hair-dryers, curling irons and flat irons may be brought onboard as long as they support the ship's electrical system.
  
  *The ship's electrical systems are not able to support Dyson or Shark products, therefore, Dyson and Shark products may not be brought onboard.

• Guests who request to bring an urn of their loved ones ashes on the ship may do so. Make sure the Guest is aware there are no provisions to accommodate burial or ash disposition at sea onboard the Disney Cruise Line vessels or at Disney Castaway Cay. Please advise the Guest that the ashes cannot be released at sea or at Disney Castaway Cay.

For some reason I've yet to see you a mention of this on any other page or source

It’s not a difficult reason to understand. It is information that has been released to CMs but has yet to be updated on the website. @CMontheseas was posting to let you all know before it was updated so you can plan accordingly

Sorry I’m reading quickly, what was your point?

My point was in a world where everyone wants to be the first with news I am surprised that this information hasn't been posted on other sites claiming the information as their own

Got it. I don’t post on other places such as Facebook etc but we need to be careful that we don’t overshare on social media. Sharing this kind of info under our own names on other platforms could lead to problems
