Other cruise tips I found, not specifically just on the Disney boats:

* Bring your email addresses with you, as ships now have Internet lounges. An email along with a digital photo is the modern day postcard; so don't forget the digital camera.

* Have THREE copies of all important travel documents (passport, birth certificate, etc) and pack one in your carry-on, one in your checked luggage and leave one with someone at home. Pack your medical insurance card and a copy of any medications you are taking.

* A "pop-up" mesh clothes hamper packs flat in your suitcase and keeps your closet neat on board.

* Have a supply of one-dollar bills handy for tipping airport skycaps and porters at the pier.

* Tuck fabric softener sheets between garments as you pack to keep clothing fresh during travels.

* Pack a pad of Post-It notes to leave messages for your cabin steward, family, and shipboard friends.

* Personal 2-way radios are a great way to keep track of cruise companions, but set the volume low so you don’t disturb your fellow passengers.

* A mesh laundry bag that allows damp clothing to dry out is ideal for gathering soiled garments during a cruise.
