Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I Buy Travel Insurance?
A: We strongly recommend the purchase of the Disney Cruise Vacations Protection Plan that provides
baggage, trip cancellation/interruption and medical expense coverage for your vacation. Remember, most
major medical policies do not provide coverage outside the U.S.
Q: What Documentation Do I need To Bring?
A: All U.S. and Canadian citizens must travel with proof of citizenship, which is a valid passport, or certified
birth certificate with a picture identification, or a certified naturalization certificate with a picture
identification. Acceptable forms of picture identification are state or provincial driver's license with a
picture, or federal, state, province or local government photo I.D. card. Children 17 and under who are U.
S. or Canadian citizens are only required to have proof of citizenship, excluding picture identification.
All guests who are non-U.S. citizens residing in the United States will be required to travel with their Alien
Registration Card (Green Card) and valid passports. All other guests must have valid passports and
necessary visas at time of embarkation. Travel documents required throughout the vacation are the
responsibility of the guest. Please consult with your travel agent, government agencies, embassies or
consulates to determine documentary requirements.
Any guest traveling without proper documentation will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of
cruise fare will be issued.
For all non-U.S. citizens including Canadian citizens, travel documents will be collected at check-in by a
Disney Cruise Line® representative and a passport/Alien Resident Card receipt will be issued for
presentation to Immigration Inspectors upon return to Port Canaveral.
New Passport Regulations from the U.S. Government
(subject to change)
January 1, 2008 – The current deadline for Guests to obtain passports for sea travel to the Caribbean,
including the Bahamas and Mexico. Recent legislative changes may permit an even later deadline based
on whether certain requirements are in place by January 1, 2008.
January 8, 2007 – The deadline to have a passport for air travel to and from the Caribbean, Mexico,
Canada, and other international destinations in the Western Hemisphere.
For Transatlantic and European sailings, all U.S. citizens must have a passport valid at least 6 months
after the sailing has ended.
What Does This Mean for Disney Cruise Line®?
All guests must have a valid government issued passport in order to board. Guests who are booked on
sailings on or after December 29, 2007 need to obtain a passport for EACH member of their family and
provide the passport number at least 90 days prior to vacation commencement. For transatlantic and
European sailings, the passport must be valid at least 6 months after the sailing has ended. Guests
without proper documentation will be denied boarding.
Q: Should I bring cash? Credit cards? Foreign currency?
A: Transactions aboard the ship are in U.S. dollars. In The Bahamas and the Caribbean, U.S. dollars and
major credit cards are accepted almost everywhere. But you won't need much cash (except for shoreside
purchases), because Disney Cruise Line® has a convenient "cash-free" system on board the ship. When
you arrive at the Walt Disney World® Resort or at the Disney Cruise Line® Terminal at Port Canaveral,
your signature will be requested for check-in. At this time you may also present a credit card (American
Express®, MasterCard®, Visa®, Discover Card®, Diner's Club®, Japanese Credit Bureau or The Disney
Credit Card) which will give you charging privileges at both the Walt Disney World® Resort and aboard
the ship.
Any purchases on the ship, including beverage services, spa, salon services, photography, medical and
laundry services, purchases from our retail shops, gratuities and any item of service of a personal nature
must be charged to your room. All charges must be settled before your Resort departure and debarkation
from the ship by cash, travellers checks, Disney Dollars, Disney Gift Card or by the credit cards
mentioned above. (Any other expenses are payable on demand.) Note: Credit card payments are subject
to credit clearance.
Q: Can I call home from the ship?
A: You can direct dial anywhere in the world right from your stateroom. Ship-to-shore rates apply and will
be posted in your stateroom.
Q: What about connecting to the Internet?
A: Guests with wireless-ready laptops will find several wireless "hot spots" on the ships, including most of
the public areas -- such as the Promenade Lounge, Studio Sea, Cove Café and all open areas on decks
nine and 10.
Rates for wireless access start at $.75 per minute, but minutes can be bundled in increments of 100- and
250-minutes at $55 and $100 respectively.
Guests not traveling with laptops can use existing Internet cafés located in the Promenade Lounge, Cove
Café, Aloft on the Disney Wonder and the Stack on the Disney Magic.
Q: What is Rotation Dining?
A: Cruises are famous for great food, but only Disney Cruise Line® features three spectacular main
restaurants where dining is a total artistic experience: Animator's Palate, Parrot Cay, Lumiére's (Disney
Magic), and Triton's (Disney Wonder).
Each evening of the cruise, guests will rotate to one of the three restaurants and dine with the same table
guests and servers.
Q: What Time Is Dinner?
A: "First dining" is at 5:30pm, 5:45pm, or 6:00pm. "Second dining" is at 8:00pm, 8:15pm, or 8:30pm.
However, for the Eastbound Trans-Atlantic and Mediterranean Cruises staggered dining will not be
observed. For these sailings, "first dining" will be at 6:00pm and "second dining" will be at 8:30pm. Identify
the preferred dining option (First dining or Second dining) when you book a vacation. No requests are
guaranteed. Generally, adults without children will dine with other adults while families dine with other
families. Children's menus are available in the restaurants. In addition, a dinner buffet will be offered for
children who participate in the supervised programs during the dinner hour. Times subject to change.
Q: What Should I Wear To Dinner?
A: The attire in Animator's Palate and Parrot Cay is casual - open-collar shirts and slacks for men and
pants and a blouse or a casual dress for ladies. In Lumiére's, Triton's and Palo, it is suggested that men
wear jackets and ladies wear dresses or pantsuits. We kindly request that no shorts, T-shirts or jeans be
worn in any of our restaurants in the evening. We request that swimsuits not be worn in the dining rooms.
During the Seven-Night Caribbean Cruise, one special evening dinner requires more formal or "black-tie-
optional" attire. Tuxedo rentals are available in advance.
Q: We're Driving Our Own Car - What Do I Need To Know?
A:The parking fee at the port is $12 per day, CASH, MasterCard or Visa ONLY. Parking at Port
