11 Things You Should NEVER Do on a Disney Cruise Ship!

today in the 11 Disney Things You Should Never Do on a Disney Cruise, from armed guards to general drills, we've got some surprises here and speaking of arm guards, we'll start right there, one thing you

should

never

do on your Disney Cruise. Disney. It's a lie and specifically here we're talking about pregnancy it's kind of a general policy that you really don't want to travel in the third trimester of your pregnancy some travel options will allow you to get a note from your doctor stating that you're fit to travel Disney Cruise Line is not one from those places there are now many articles about this because she was escorted off a Disney

cruise

ship

by armed guards for being too pregnant yes that's right, armed guards for being too pregnant according to the cosmopolitan Emily Jackson and her family was removed with the help of a rifle She was traveling with her family, as well as her two-year-old daughter, and her

cruise

ship

was ready to set sail during her 25th week of pregnancy.

Now, Disney Cruise Line policy states that any woman who has reached 24 weeks of pregnancy as of her embarkation date or will enter during the cruise will be denied passage due to safety concerns, will not accept a medical statement from a doctor or a disclaimer and of course they will not be responsible for any complications, that is why they simply do not let you in after 24 weeks. Emily was traveling with her family and was not aware of the pregnancy policy. It does not matter. That's why it's so important to educate yourself about Disney vacations because they are unique in many ways, while they were at the port preparing to board their cruise ship, or so they thought, Disney staff had called the Miami-Dade Police Department, which resulted in Emily, her family, her children and her parents being removed from the port, two guards and one of them carrying Rydal escorted them completely from the premise, now I know that there are many armed guards in many places, it is not something that you're necessarily used to seeing when you go on a Disney trip, so I think that would be a little bit.

It's surprising that if you're pregnant or have someone in your party that will be pregnant during the cruise, just make sure the cruise is completed before that they reach the end of week 23 of pregnancy number two. I have to say I was really surprised, another thing I've

never

done What you want to do on a Disney cruise is raise your voice in port. There is a lot going on inside the port. There are different lines for Castaway levels. They have different arrival times at the port. The concierge has its own location. New cruise ships have their own location so it can be a little frustrating or overwhelming especially if you have a lot of people in your group, whatever you do don't raise your voice at anyone inside a port and obviously don't be mean to people, but only if you speak out loud. don't raise your voice inside the port don't raise your voice inside the cruise board because what happens is that the port security in the cruise ports will also be armed.

I don't know why, but I was very surprised to find this. During our research, it makes a lot of sense, of course, they have to have those safe places, but it's a little surprising to see that kind of thing on your trip to Disney, so make sure you never raise your voice on a Disney cruise. member within the port and I have to be honest, don't do it on the boat, whether it's a vacation, it can be frustrating, it can be fun, if you have any problems on the boat, make sure you contact Guest Services, don't accept them. frustrations at home with you, they want you to have a five star experience, they can't fix

things

they don't know about, so if you have any problems contact them.

We have had a couple of occasions where air conditioning was needed. a little help and they were happy to come take care of number three is also very important with Disney Cruise Line. Now you need to make sure that you are not early or late for your arrival time at the port. Those arrival times at the port can be assured. during your online check-in is when you will go to their website or browser app which by the way, pro tip, download that browser app as soon as you book your cruise, it's the Disney Cruise Line browser app that you will use.

You can check-in from here. You can link your party activity selections. You will have everything you need once you are on the boat. The Navigators' daily schedule, event activities will be there. The menus of all the restaurants. Room service. Etc. The character meets and greets. Absolutely everything is in this browser app, so take the time to download it and get familiar with it and get back to number three. Do not arrive early or late at the port arrival time. The arrival time at the port is usually approximately 15 minutes. say 11 to 11 15. it was very important to be within these time frames during post coverage travel, it is still important even though they have eased almost all of their social distancing restrictions etc, you still want to make sure and get there inside that.

Arrival time at the port, if you don't, you could be turned away and you will have to return later that same day. Nobody wants to do that. You want to get on the boat. You want to have fun, so make sure you arrive within that hour. time frame don't be too late either you don't want to miss your ship and that brings us right to number four never ever fly on the morning of the cruise don't don't don't don't don't. I can't emphasize enough that if your flight is late you missed your cruise, if there is bad traffic from the airport to the cruise you may miss your cruise.

I wouldn't drive on the morning of a cruise either, if you're anyone. more than an hour or two away because you never know what kind of accidents can happen and completely close a road, obviously that's not a normal thing, but neither is your luxury Disney Cruise Line vacation. It is better to get there the night before. You're ready to go and I have to tell you, it's like Christmas morning when you wake up on embarkation day and you can see the cruise ship from your hotel room window. It's so fun, exciting, it really is like being a kid at Christmas. in the morning, at least for me, anyway, plus it's a nice, stress-free way to travel if there were any problems during your flights, if you travel the day before, you still have time to get to your ship number five, never you plan to swim. a Disney cruise, that being said of course if you go to Castaway Key you can go swimming in the ocean, it's hot there if you have harbor excursions that include a pool or a visit to the beach which is another way to swim .

That being said, on ships there is not enough room in these pools for swimming. The most conducive pool for swimming on Disney Cruise Line would be at Disney Wonder in their adult section. It is still a small pool. It's not really good for swimming, but you can go. round trip in this pool if no one else is there normally, although the people who want to swim are the little humans on the first four ships, they have about three or four pools spread throughout the cruise, they are a little bigger, but there are so many young people there they usually look like tiny humans and the wish, while they have even more pools, I think there are 11 waiting pools at the Disney wish, they are exactly kiddie pools, they are not deep enough nor big enough. for swimming, that being said, here's a pro tip for you, make sure you wear swimsuits on the first day of the cruise if you want to try out their water coasters, the aqueduct, which is your first water coaster at Sea on the.

Disney Dream and Fantasy is so much fun. The Aqua Dunk is a drop slide at Disney Magic and at Disney you wish they had the new first ride in Sea the Aqua Mouse. These slides are actually a lot of fun if you have your suit under your clothes. The first day, you can usually ride those rides with very small lines, everyone else is running around looking at the Etc, so it can be a lot of fun to try those slides during that time again, no swimming, but Try the number six slides. You can never just walk into the Disney Youth Clubs and in the Disney wish, make sure you don't ride the Disney Youth Club slide to the Ocean Ear Club and Lab.

They are very specific with their young people. Club safety is extremely important with Disney Cruise, you can't just walk in or take that slide into the clubs because that's not exactly safe, they will have open houses during these open houses, you can go in there with your little humans, review the spaces and see. what they're doing, it's really fun for them to show you and if you're traveling without little humans it's still fun to go to the open days and the youth clubs, they have a lot of really fun activities for those young people. clubs I think the most popular right now would probably be the Star Wars cargo bay at Disney's Wish or the simulator they have at Disney's Wish at Ocean Air Lab.

With that simulator they can create their own roller coaster and then ride it. How cool is it, I definitely want to try that at some point and the slide looks fun too. The youth club policy is that you want to get in there on the first day, go see them and get their little band. The band tells him. exactly where they are at all times, so they are easy to find and the environment takes the whole no parents policy to a higher level, especially in fantasy and dream, entering the environment at night, especially this metal door which looks really cool.

There is a hallway with changing lighting that you walk through to enter the club during regular hours. Those doors are locked and you can't just walk in there. You have to have your badge that allows you to enter, so if you are a parent, you can't. just walk in there, which is great, I think for them, obviously, if you need to talk to your teen, you can make that happen with the app and you can just call, there's a phone right there, but it's still great for them, I believe, and by desire. that slide takes them directly to the kids area for adults to check them in on deck and then they can take the slide to the youth club.

They also have something I never realized before between the Ocean Ears club and the lab there. It is actually an internal corridor that is only for young people to travel from one to another. They really have thought of everything, just make sure you stick to open house hours for your explorations. Never go in there during regular youth club hours number seven. If you are a smoker, make sure you do not smoke in your Veranda. If you smoke in your stateroom or on The Veranda, you will be charged a $250 cleaning fee. They have designated smoking areas on board the Disney Magic and I wonder if it's on deck? 4 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and deck 9 port forward at any time the smoking section can also be a nice little place to get away there are not always many people there sometimes there are some people who like to go get cigars in the ports to enjoy with a little of whiskey or something, totally understandable of course, a normal cigarette, but what you see is a different area in the ports, we saw these little ones that were so cute and sometimes it's just a quiet place to sit because they just there are not many people.

There I was quite surprised that Disney Dream and Fantasy also have a location on Deck 4 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Additionally, they have locations on deck 12 and 13. Some of the ships will also have cigars for sale on the ships which can be another good way to end the night. The number eight is common at Disney. You never arrive exactly when something starts. You won't get a seat, at least it's very likely not. They have amazing entertainment. Broadway-style shows aboard movie theaters. musical trivia match your buddy which is a very fun late night game show for adults only.

Whatever you go to, whether it's adults only. Specific for families and young people. Make sure you arrive at least 10 or 15 minutes early to get your spot sometimes. people will arrive a little earlier, of course if you arrive about 15 minutes before any activity starts, you will most likely get a place to sit, but if you enter exactly when it starts or even a few minutes before it starts, it is very likely that everyone seats are taken, obviously, you can stand and watch, no problem, but if you want a good seat, you want a good view, just make sure you get there early, never be exactly on time. any activity on the ship that you are thinking of missing out on like that, especially during sea cruises, they will have Santa Claus and Mrs.

Claus and many others inside the atrium and there will be people everywhere, they will all be crowded on the main deck and then Also, the next two decks up, people will surround that area looking down, so make sure you get there to get your spot and that's the same with the shows on the deck, these

things

get really packed, it's like the whole pandemic would never have happened. I don't think things will go back to normal that way, but they definitely have people packed in there, make sureto get your place. I like to arrive a little early to get a spot on a deck or two.

It usually feels a little. more open for me even though there will be people around that perimeter, it is Disney after all so there will be a bit of a wait in lines, not exactly what you're going to experience at The Parks of course, but the dynamic still does. exists on number nine Disney cruises, don't yell at people on the cruise, also sometimes people drink too much, get a little excited, you have to be careful with that on Disney Cruise Line, they have security on the ship. and they're not going to come get you for talking too loud, it's nothing like that but I've seen someone drink too much on Disney Cruise Line and they came.

I talked to him and they left so I don't know exactly where they went but they have cruise ship jail on cruise ships, well that's what they call it, technically they are secure accommodations, now this is not going to be general actions, this really has to be. where someone screams, becomes belligerent, and attacks someone, but if those actions occur they will put them in Disney Jail, or they have a location station on the ship that is secure and they will hold someone until they return to the ports and they can hand it over to the corresponding authorities and I have seen on the disboards the worst case scenario, if necessary, they will place security outside the cabin so that the person cannot leave.

I've only seen security approach someone once and it was someone who was clearly very intoxicated and maybe just needed a little dry time, but only because it's Disney, but you know, Disney like to keep things safe and absolutely all cruise ships have something like this because you want to keep all the other passengers safe too. Number 10, never. forget to pack your Bonine b-o-n-i-n-e not only don't forget to pack it but also make sure you don't forget to start it a day before your cruise, we usually start boning it the night before we fly to the ship, this will help with any nausea we get on the cruise because They are already in our system.

Also make sure you never forget to bring your C-bands. These are acupressure bands to help with nausea. They are really useful. There are also actual prescriptions for ginger gums that you can get from your doctor if necessary, whether you think you're going to get seasick or not, just make sure you don't forget to bring something with you, nothing can ruin a cruise faster than being that sick on board that you can't leave your cabin and I have been I was surprised to find that just a Bonine and sea bands make a difference. I didn't think I wouldn't forget those really important things and number 11, never expect everything to go exactly as planned.

Cruises are a dynamic vacation. Weather can happen in any port in the middle of the ocean at any time. Routes will be taken to stay away from the weather if possible, which can sometimes mean you will miss your pork, so when starting your cruise vacation Disney is better off if you don't. expect things to go exactly as you planned because it's very rare that happens people get tired and overwhelmed there are things that you had planned that you thought you would do but you just don't want to and that's great, leave that awareness in your agenda, don't plan It's like at Disney World, where you have to have every minute of every reservation.

You have a little more freedom on a Disney cruise. It's a smaller location, but don't schedule every minute and expect to accomplish all of that. because you want to enjoy your vacation and I must say that the absolute pro tip is to never stop looking for the Magic of Disney. Disney Magic happens on a cruise ship in so many ways, so many times, but if you stop looking for it, We're not going to see it sometimes, never stop looking for that Disney magic, that's why we go, that's why it's so much fun, from the big humans to small humans, everyone loves the magic of Disney, never stop looking for it, never stop waiting for it, what do you focus on.

It expands and of course we all love some Disney Magic, that's why we are here, as Walt Disney once said, when you are curious, you find many interesting things to do, never lose that curiosity and seek the support of Magic on Disney Cruise at any Honestly, that's how you find it.
