We are on the 10/29 Magic and I'd love to ship a box - which I've heard you can do. There is a warehouse and they will have any boxes delivered to your stateroom. I posted about this months ago and can't seem to find the info. Help! Anyone?
 
Hi,
I did this on the repo cruise...our box didn't show up till the morning after embarkation however...but that could have been an issue w/ the CA port. Call DCL ask for the address and anything that needs to be stated on the address portion of the box...when we did it I needed the port address, ship name, cruise date, cabin #, and my name.
 
I DID THIS LAST YEAR, I MAILED IT FEDEX GROUND. IT WAS GREAT, MY PACKAGE GOT TO THE ROOM BEFORE MY LUGGAGE DID.

HERE IS WHERE I MAILED IT TO, I WOULD STRONGLY ADVICE YOU TO CALL DISNEY, TO MAKE SURE, THAT THIS IS THE CORRECT ADDRESS.

IDS
9001 Marlin Street
Cape Canaveral, FL 32920
phone - 321-799-9100

pkg must arrive by 5:00 PM on Fri. for Sat and Sun sailings
Pkg must arrive by 11:00 AM on Thursday for Thursday sailings

You must have your name/stateroom#/ship name on the outside of the pkg.

MAYBE, YOU CAN LET US KNOW, HOW YOU MAKE OUT WITH SENDING THEM.
 
Is there a # other than one you canfind if you search on the generic web site?
 

We shipped 3 boxes to 3 different rooms on our repo. To get the address all I did was email DCL and probably within 10 minutes I had their response. EASY!! We got them after dinner the first night.
 
We mailed 4 boxes before our repo cruise left Florida. The boxes were waiting in our room for us when we arrived on the ship. Worked great.

We only mailed things we would not have to take home with us, the gift bags for the disboard people traveling, etc.
 
I found this information in another thread, HTH!

The warehouse address is:
Disney Cruise Lines
9001 Marlin Street
Cape Canaveral, FL 32920

address the package to them and, in the bottom left corner of the package put the following information:ATTN: HOUSEKEEPING
STATEROOM # XXXX (GTY, if you don't know what it is when you send the package)
PASSENGER NAME: (name of passenger on reservation)
VESSEL: WONDER or MAGIC
DATE of SAIL:
NUMBER of BOXES: 1 of 1, 3 of 4 or whatever.
 
The correct warehouse name is IDS, like previously posted. This is not a DCL company.

Has anyone had any problems doing this? My mother will be celebrating her 60th birthday on our cruise and my sister and I wanted to make her a big gift basket. We would love for it to be in her room waiting for her when she arrives. Any suggestions and help is appreciated.
Also, any guarantees............... should I buy insurance or what type of guarantees do I have ? :flower2:

For me this all started last year when dozens of us on the first repo cruise shipped a huge number of boxes of stuff (5 big boxes for me) to the warehouse to be delivered to the ship. The phone number we called for instructions and questions is:
321-799-9100...Kelly was the warehouse rep fielding all our calls...

Kelli said the packages could be sent by any carrier we chose and at any time we wanted (within reason...not last minute, of course), relative to the cruise date, and they would deliver them to the stateroom noted without charge. You just pay for your shipping to the warehouse.
 
this is great info..to know thanks so much...
 
Sorry, just bumping so I can have this information when I need it.

This is great.
 
You don't have to do that. The info is in the FAQ thread at the top of the forum. :)
 
I mailed 2 boxes off to myself last Nov 2005.

One package was 12 lbs the other was 22 lbs. I think it cost me in the neighborhood of $13.00

Yes, I also put my swim gear (no tanks) small boat plus other personal stuff. My plan was leave most behind & I did.

This was the second time I had done this, so I wasn't as nervous as the first.

My choice, in carriers is Fedex Ground. I use there service with ebay, & for me, they are the best problem solver & customer service, I have ever encountered. FYI, Fedex gives you insurance for $100.00 per box & delivery conformation at no extra cost. You can watch before your cruise & make sure it arrives before you. I did have a bottle of wine, & it was wrapped in so much bubble wrap, then newspaper, that it would have survived anything.

Our cruise sailed on a Thursday therefore I mailed it the Friday before. I wrote on the outside box on all sides the above address, my name, sailing date & then my GTY # (have been told that if the room changes your package will get to your new room)

First year 2004 the packages in my room before my luggage, 2005 the packages got to my room, just before the sail away party.

I will do this again, Thanksgiving 2006

Hope this helps,

Patricia

I have also done this while staying at the Sherdian Vistana. When we travel there is a rule that one suitcase per peson (that's why I ship)
 
Has anyone ever done this, then not have their package arrive on time? If they lose it and track it, will Fed Ex catch it up at the next port? Would love to do the one suitcase rule, too. But by the time you add the formal, the semi-, pirate costumes, and the snorkel gear, the undie supply gets a little short!

PM the original poster...she was on my cruise and she did get the box of wine and halloween decorations on the ship...

What types of things have you sent?

One box containing four very long-necked bottles of a liquid substance packed in individual cardboard cylinders often sold at Michael's as decorative wine bottle containers, clothes, 10# of dry dog food, 15# of sailaway goodies individually packaged for all the great DIS-cruisers I met on-line on the cruise meets board during the year preceeding the first repo cruise as well as strangers inhabiting staterooms on Deck 2, 10# of pirate stuff to distribute to kids on board on pirate night. Shoes, bulky stuff, and a LOT of stuff not being taken home again.
