Disney Cruise Tips for First

Creator tips

• You can make special requests to your stateroom host, such as getting character-themed bedsheets for your kids' beds.
• The walls and doors in the staterooms are magnetic, so you can bring magnetic hooks to hang hats, ears, or other items.
• Consider bringing a magnetic fan to stick to the ceiling for extra air circulation.
• Most guests decorate their stateroom doors with magnets, which is a fun tradition.
• A 'fish extender' is a hanging organizer you can put on the fish hook outside your door to participate in gift exchanges with other guests.
• The carpet in the hallways can help you navigate. The stars on the carpet always point towards the front (forward) of the ship.
• If the map on the carpet appears upside down, you are facing the back (aft) of the ship.
• Don't miss 'Pirate Night,' where all the characters dress up in pirate costumes.
• The muster drill (safety drill) on the first day is mandatory for all guests, and the ship won't sail until everyone has checked in.
• The adults-only pool is often less crowded, especially at night, since the cruises are very family-oriented.
• In some restaurants, you are given crayons and can draw directly on the paper tablecloth.
