    We are cruising to Alaska in August. My husband has multiple myeloma bone cancer and has to drink ensure protein milkshakes every day. Are they available on the ship?

    Hello there, Judy. Welcome back to planDisney, where my pals and I are happy to help you as you prepare to make memories aboard Disney Cruise Line.

    You are in for the most gorgeous scenery as you sail to Alaska with your husband. My family and I had the pleasure of cruising to Alaska just a couple of months ago, and we were blown away by the beauty all around us. Be sure to pack many layers to adjust to the weather, as some days will be significantly cooler than others. 

    I can imagine that your husband's nutritional needs are of utmost importance to you, and I want you to have just what you need during your sailing. I have not seen these protein shakes available onboard, so your best option is to pack them with you. Just be sure they are unopened and packed in a carry-on-sized suitcase so you can carry (or wheel) them onto the ship as you embark. Beverages are not allowed in checked luggage. You will have a beverage cooler in your stateroom to conveniently store and cool your protein shakes. 

    Judy, if you have any other dietary needs or special services that you would like Disney Cruise Line to know about, please fill out this Special Services form. I want you and your husband to have an amazing time during your sailing! If you have additional questions, please cruise back to us. We'll be here for you. 

    Bon Voyage,
