Tip for sweet tea drinkers: In your refillable and insulated drink container, you can add a small amount of hot water to your sweetener of choice to make a syrup and then add the tea and ice!

Or make a very sweet hot tea with only half a mug full of water, steep for a few minutes, then pour that over ice

Here's another idea, when at the dining room ask the assistant waiter for simple syrup. I did and he made me sweet tea. I had it for all 7 nights. This sometimes works with other lines.

Bringing an old card to use for the lights is a good tip. But better yet, glue a magnet to it. Then you can stick it to the wall above the switch when you pull lit out, and not have to try to find it when you come back to the room. And this tip isn't (or at least wasn't) important for the Magic and Wonder. They did not have the key switch, you just turned lights on and off normally. As far as I know that's still true, but I don't promise that those ships weren't refitted when I wasn't looking!

Emma cruises (great KZbin channel) recommends a daylight/sunrise alarm clock for inside cabins so you can get that increasing light levels in the morning so that you get a gentle wake up into something other than pitch black!

@krisrhood2127 10 ай бұрын

Or maybe you can bring a nightlight or leave the lights on?

They don't have the Pirate night buffets anymore. I sailed in January and in September of 2023 and they didn't have it on either sailing. I was told they stopped that not too long after they started back after Covid.

We all know that you can check in at the Disney Hotels, but you can also check in at MCO. I have been doing that for at least 15 years. Disney cruises: Magic 10/2000 &5/2005, Wonder 10/2008, Dream 10/2013, Fantasy 9/2022. Grand Circle Tour, 10/2017 DLS & DLHK.

Idea for carrying food on a windy open deck...take a collapsible food tent that has a bottom. Put your food inside and it helps it stay put!

My son picked up the stomach bug while at the nursery. Disney was great about his care! They provided extra entertainment in the room, and had the dining room send up meals for my husband and I. It helped since he was confined to the cabin.

Piggybacking on the dining thing. You don’t have to order off the menu of the restaurant you’re at. All three restaurants have the same kitchen so don’t be afraid to look at the other menus if you can’t find something you like. I was even able to get some Buffalo wings off the room service menu. Just keep in mind that you can’t get anything off of the special menus like pirate night except during those nights.

@dismom3197 10 ай бұрын

Great advice and this is why Disney cruises, kitchens, and the servers are the best...On our Dream cruise I loved the Black Truffle Pasta from Animators Palate so much and was raving about them to our server. The next night (at a different dining location) our server just came over with a big smile on his face and put a plate of them in front of me! (I didn't even have to ask) WOW!

@DisneyMuggleborn 10 ай бұрын

The Wish has separate kitchens from what we were told the times we've sailed on it.

@MP-cr7uf 10 ай бұрын

Scissors can be brought on board a DCL cruise as long as the blades are 4 inches or less in length AND have blunt tips-like they usually are in travel sewing kits. I was glad to find this out before preparing for a cruise.

My tip for swimming is to rinse off in the pool deck showers and relax while your swimsuit dries. It dries days faster than hanging in the shower. Plus they don't get in the way when needing to shower. It was a game changer for us.

I'm considering using a TA just for the on board credit. However, I like doing all my own planning, hate delegating, and would stress out over not feeling like I'm in control of my own reservations. Any tips or reassurance that I can still manage my own booking, while using a TA? If I book with a TA can I still do online check in on my own, or would they have to do that for me?

@maeg3582 9 ай бұрын

I use a TA all the time just for the on board credit. However, I make all my own reservations and online check ins myself. The only thing the TA does is book the room and pay the reservations. Everything else I do myself! No worries, you're still in control!

@GingerMMT 9 ай бұрын

Most of my clients prefer to book their own activities and I require that they do their own online check-in since they have to upload citizenship docs, give permission for kids clubs, etc. You can totally book with a TA and not give up control of the planning.

Always get at least the basic medical insurance for your cruise. So many incidents happen that require airlift at sea, very expensive.

Can your channel feature the Disney cruise cake that they serve for the people celebrating their birthday? That was the best dessert I’ve had on the Wish. It’s chocolate. Can I buy that anywhere in Disney? I just want to know what kind of cake that is. I’m still dreaming of getting another piece. I want to take my child on a bday cruise just for a piece of that cake again. You’re DFB. Can you tell me what kind of cake it is? Thank you.

My last Disney Cruise was to Alaska so we didn't have a Pirates Night, but on our previous cruise to the Bahamas, we were given free "Pirates on The Caribbean" bandanas to wear. Are they still doing that? This was on the Dream a couple of years ago.

@anagaleski5790 7 ай бұрын

Last Nov 2023 sailing on Magic - we were not given bandanas on Pirates night. Later I found out that it was because we did not have kids with us. Luckily I bought old ones with us. Not sure of that’s a new thing or was a supply issue. On the Wish in Jan 2023, we did not receive any even with a kid with us - so we bought them from the gift shop (we liked them better as they were black). If you have a set - best pack them and not need them.

The thing that's so crazy to me is that we've just completely dominated the ocean environment. It used to be that ships sank all the time. Sailing was serious business, and you had a significant reason to risk getting on a boat. Now though, blue water ocean is a recreation area.
