We just got off the Magic on 12/28 and I wanted to share our experience. That was our 7th cruise in the last 3 years. In February, we bought one on the small Mickey footballs on Castaway Cay for my son. We went on the Dream double dip in June and we took it on the boat and off and on the island 2x with no issues. However, that was not the case on the Magic. We had it in our luggage, and took it on the island. However, it was confiscated when going through security when coming back on the boat. Security said that it was a prohibited item (one that they were selling right there on the island). I was not happy and when to Guest Services. That experience was the worst I have ever had on a Disney boat (and the first time I had ever complained about anything on a cruise). She told me that sports balls of any kinds are a prohibited item on the boat. When I told her we had never had an issue taking it on and off before she said "well if they dont see it they wont take it".
I checked the prohibited items list when I got back and it is not on the list at all. Only baseballs. I am hoping we dont encounter this again when we sail on the Dream in 2 weeks, but we shall see. Anyone else had this issue recently?
UPDATE: I talked to DCL and they said that the footballs are absolutely allowed and should NOT have been confiscated. At least I know we shouldnt have any issues if we take it on our cruise in 2 weeks on the Dream.
