Ahoy, Dale!
Staying connected at sea is even easier aboard Disney Cruise Line, and you'll want to check out the various options and rates on the
Internet/Cellular Services Page of DisneyCruise.com. You don't have to bring your iPad or laptop on board, but you will want to if you plan on connecting multiple times of day, for multiple users in the family and for the greatest flexibility.
I'm also planning for this itinerary with my family this summer, and I plan on bringing my laptop, too. You'll have to let me know if you have any helpful hints after you've returned which I can pass along to my other readers. As far as obtaining a daily itinerary ahead of time, there really isn't a way to do this since the inaugural voyage is still at sea. The first DCL Alaskan cruise will return to Vancouver on Tuesday. You may start seeing some photos and press releases on
DisneyCruiseNews.com and get an idea of what to expect. I have some friends on board right now, and so far, their collective word is "Wow!"
Remember to report back to me with your words of wisdom, and I hope you have a wonderful day and a magical vacation. Bon voyage!
