Ahoy David!
In just three weeks, you will be setting sail for a Bahamian adventure on the spectacular Disney Dream! Captain Mickey, his First Mate Minnie and the rest of the crew are waiting to welcome you aboard for a magical voyage. I hope it's a vacation filled with one pixie dusted moment after another!
You are correct that any bottled water or other beverages brought from home will need to be packed in your carry-on luggage.
Food that is pre-packaged and unopened can also be brought on board. It can be packed in either your carry-on luggage OR your checked bags. Homemade items are not permitted even if they are packaged. I like to bring a few snacks from home as well, but we do love to order room service! Mickey Bars (not listed on the menu, but available 24 hours a day!) and Big Island cookies with milk are our favorites! We always bring some small bills for our room service tips.
Thank you for stopping by with your question, David! I always love helping out a fellow Georgian with cruise plans, so please let me know if you think of anything else!
Have a magical day!
Nancy
