Creator's Key Takeaways

one of the biggest mistakes newbies make is not understanding their dining times and making a request for early or late dining

make sure you take your Bonine b-o-n-i-n-e that's for anti-nausea medication you actually want to take that beginning a day before you get on the ship

Disney Cruise Line offers gluten-free vegetarian no sugar added dairy free and lighter note offerings on our table service restaurant menus

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Request your dining time early and go to Guest Services if you don't get it assigned prior to boarding
✓Make specialty dining reservations as soon as they open, typically at 12:01 AM Eastern Standard Time
✓Ask your server for suggestions every evening to try new dishes
✓Order from room service for included items and tip $1-2 per item
✓Plan clothing for formal nights, pirate night, and specialty dining dress codes
✓Submit dietary requests at least three days prior to embarkation and notify staff on board

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not understanding rotational dining and dining times — Disney uses rotational dining with three main restaurants; request early or late dining and check with Guest Services if not assigned prior to boarding.
Motion sickness during dinner — Take Bonine starting a day before boarding, use sea bands, and avoid looking at chandeliers during dinner.
Dietary needs not being accommodated — Submit dietary requests at least three days prior to embarkation and notify staff on board for all meals.
