    Hi! Is it possible to buy an onboard gift with a name and sail date only? I’d like to surprise my friends on their first cruise, ideally without asking them for their reservation number. Thank you!

    Hi again, Laura! Welcome back to planDisney.

    Thanks for bringing another great question to us. How wonderful that you plan to surprise your friends on their first Disney cruise! A first cruise can be exciting but also overwhelming. Having a surprise gift waiting for your friends when they first enter their stateroom adds a magical touch!

    There are many onboard gifts to choose from. You can surprise them with a fruit platter, alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages, or a floral arrangement. In-room decorations with a Bon Voyage theme is also a splendid idea! If your friends have little ones, there are cute bundles geared towards young sailors as well. And if you’re unsure what to surprise them with, you can also opt to send them onboard credits

    While it is better to have their reservation number, this is not necessary when ordering an onboard gift. On the Disney Cruise Line Onboard Gifts page, select “Locate a Reservation” and then “By Guest Information”. You’ll enter their sailing departure date as well as one of the Guest’s first and last name. Once the reservation is located, you can then go shopping for onboard gifts for your friends to surprise them on their upcoming Disney cruise.

    I hope this information is helpful for you, Laura. As always, if you have more questions for us, please don’t hesitate to sail by planDisney again. Since it's your friends' first Disney cruise, if they have any questions, please let them know we're here to help!

    Have a pixie-dusted day,
