Disney Cruising? What to Carry onto the Ship

Disney Cruising? What to Carry onto the Ship

            Each person is allowed a reasonable amount of luggage when cruising. You can mail one box ahead to the ship per cabin. Each person in the cabin can have two standard sized suitcases that will be checked in either act the airport went Disney picks them up or when you get the ship and check them with the baggage handlers. You are allowed to carry one standard airline size carry-on bag, a computer bag and women can carry a purse when you board the ship. They are moderately strict on this.

            The bags you check-in you will not see Intel sometime in the evening. The majority of the bags make their way to the cabins before dinnertime first night. It is possible that your bag will not arrive in your cabin until after dinner. Occasionally bags be mislaid for a day or two. We all know things like this can happen when you’re traveling.

            Because of the possible delays recommend the following items they carried onto the ship with you placed in the checked bags.

·        Identification

·        Other boarding documentation needed

·        Medication (break in our original bottles with labels)

·        Medical Equipment (such as CPAP machine and one extension cord just in case)

·        Door decor (magnets to decorate your cabin door)

·        A change of clothing for dinner if you wish to change

·        A set of pajamas for each person

·        Camera(s) (batteries, extra memory chips)

The most important thing to bring on the ship with you is your sense of fun. Leave your troubles on the dock and be ready to relax and enjoy!
