Ahoy there, Debbie! Thank you for sailing by planDisney before you sail away on your magical cruise.
I don't like to think about emergencies back home, as I'm sure you don't, but I also like to be prepared. I always leave important contact information with a family member or close friend who is not traveling with me. The contact information for any ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet is 1-888-DC-AT-SEA (1-888-322-7732). You also need to share the name of the ship and your stateroom number with your family member or friend. An alternative number to share is the
Disney Cruise Line shoreside services number. If you have an Apple smart device, iMessage should work on the
complimentary DCL-GUEST wireless network. WhatsApp also works. If you have any issues connecting to the wifi, please visit
Guest Services on the ship.
Since you are very close to saying "See You Real Soon!" don't forget to keep your
travel documentation in your carry-on bag. I also keep my prescription medication, sunscreen, portable cell phone charger, and other essential items in my carry-on. You will not see your checked luggage for a few hours, so if you think you will need something before then, keep it in your carry-on.
Debbie, I hope you have a smooth sailing and everything back home goes smoothly, too. If you have any other questions,
planDisney is here to help.
Bon Voyage!
