Hi, 

Can't remember where but I saw something that said you need to pack a overnight bag as your luggage is taken the night before disembarkment to get checked? Is this correct?

Great suggestions. I bought a USB port (non-surge protector) that I am planning to put in my carry on.

First Aid will definitely be a go. I already bought dramamine in case.

The magnetic hooks are smart too - going to pick some up at Target tomorrow!

As always you guys were right! Was missing the country in the information section. Whoops!

Hi!

Just finished online check-in for our cruise which leaves on Friday. Everything is checked but it says our SetSail Passes are not ready to be printed. Anyone have this happen before? Any reasons why? Should I be worried?

No to the steamer and/or irons. Must pack items.....passports. 2 x 750 ml bottles per stateroom. What ship , itinerary and port of embarkation? Also, are you getting to the port the day before you board (STRONGLY recommended)? 

We are on Adventure leaving from Bayonne to Canaveral, Cococay and Nassau. We are driving up the morning of since we are less than 2 hours away. 

A few packing questions as we leave on Friday for our first cruise:

1. Can you bring a steamer with you? I see that there are no irons on board but was wondering if a portable electric steamer was okay?

2. What are you must pack items? I'm hoping I don't forget anything.

3. Bottles of wine - 750ml bottles only?

Thank you all! Makes much more sense to think of it like a normal restaurant reservation. 16 days away from our cruise!

Hi!

MTD is still confusing for me. Will we have the same table every night with this? Already booked out times but wasn't sure if I needed to request a specific table/if it would be the same location every night.

Hi,

I know at online check-in you need to use a credit card for incidentals. Can you do two different cards on the same room? For instance, I am traveling with friends who are sharing a room. Could they each use their own cards for their own chargers or will RC on take one per room?

Hi!

I saw something that said if you choose MTD you must pre-pay gratuities. Is this true? If so, how does that work?

Thank you both! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Hi!

Are there beaches around port? For instance, if we didn't want to book an excursion/resort day pass, would we be able to find a nice/safe beach in walking distance/close taxi ride? 

Thank you everyone! Do the passes have a way to connect the lanyard to them? Or is that a simple ask of guest relations who can punch a hole in them for us?

How do you carry your SeaPass card? 

I rarely have pockets and am use to the Disney Magic Band at this point so am looking for suggestions. We will be getting the deluxe drink package so do we also have to carry IDs (licenses/passports) to show we are of drinking age or does the SeaPass show that?

Thank you all! It now is listed on the cruise planner but says must book onboard - I'll try calling and see if anything is available.

If not, how likely is it that 4 of us will be able to get 4 loungers (the non-paying ones) together on a decent part of the beach. What happens if we want to go to the bar/lunch? Do we lose the loungers?

Thank you @melski94!!!! What time typically do the shows start at night?

First time cruiser!

Is Cruise Compass a daily thing? Or do you get a cruise compass on embarkation that shows the whole cruise?

As a crazy planner I hate not being able to see it before boarding!

Hello!

First time cruiser here - am curious about a few things. 

1. We booked our cruise (Adventure of the Seas, 7 nights, leaving July 6, 2018) through Expedia - I cannot figure out if dining gratuities are included. If not, what is the cost associated with 7 nights?

2. How does my time dining work? I see you can book a time to reserve your main dining room table every night. Can you choose different times each night? What happens if you change your plans and don't show up? Are you charged? Will they cancel future times?

3. To clarify - the buffet and main dining room are included in the cost of your cruise. Only specialty restaurants will be an additional charge?

Thank you in advance! I am a crazy Disney World trip planner so I don't know how I didn't realize similar planning would need to happen for a cruise!

Hi!

We are sailing on Adventure of the Seas on July 6. I was interested in booking a bungalow for our day in Cococay but I am not seeing one listed on Cruise Planner. Does this mean they are sold out?

Thanks!
