Ahoy, Jennifer!
There's no need to take up valuable space in your suitcases with bulky beach towels. (Save that room for souvenirs!) On
Port Adventures, towels are often included. If not, you are more than welcome to grab a towel from the pool deck to take with you for any splashtastic activities. Sometimes, there will even be cast members with large bins of fresh towels, waiting to hand them out as you exit the ship. To see if towels will be provided for your paid excursion, simply stop by the Port Adventures Desk once you're onboard the ship. Used towels will be collected from you when you return to the ship from your Port Adventure.
For ports that require tendering, you'll board a small vessel to take you from the ship to the port dock. It's a short ride to the dock, and is a great time to get some awesome photos of the Disney ship in the water. As the tender boat pulls away from the ship, you'll really get a sense of how enormous and majestic the Disney ships really are.
I hope you have a most magical time on your Disney Cruise. Enjoy the port of Grand Cayman - it's simply beautiful!
