Disney Cruisers - what do we pack
I packed summer clothes, a couple of light sweaters, bathing suits.
We didn’t dress for dinner but you could if you wanted to. My boys wore polo shirts a couple nights and my friend who I was with girls wore dresses.

We did bathing suits with coverups during the day. For dinner, I wore summer dresses or jeans with a nice top. My DD wore summer dresses every night and sometimes a light sweater because it was a little chilly while watching the shows. DH wore polos and pants. There were so many people dressed much more casually than us though...like just t-shirts and shorts.

Re: Disney Cruisers - what do we pack
I wear sundresses to dinner/shows at night. Kids wore sundresses and polos. During the day mostly bathing suits with cover ups, so bring lots of suits!! There is dress up night, but I do a nicer sundress and my kids wear nicer outfits. I like to do the professional picture in the lobby on the white background that night
Also good to pack:
Liquid hand soap (bar soap sucks for hand washing and you will be doing it a lot)
Alcohol Wipes (purell individual ones on Amazon are the best)
Bonine if you think you might get queasy (I get it at Harmon and start taking the night before...works like a charm)
Refillable water bottle unless you are buying the overpriced water onboard (it's like 35 for 12 or something)
A highlighter to mark off what you want to do on the daily navigator...there is TONS to do
Extra sunblock because it's $$$$ onboard
Flip flops and water shoes for kids (deck is HOT)
Magnets for your door, easier to spot in the sea of doors!
Beach bag, but you don't need towels, they have tons, and take as many as you need...even for excursions off the boat.
Have fun!!!

We also picked up a case of bottled water the night before our cruise left, so we brought that with us too. It saved us a lot of time to just grab our water instead of going to drink stations to refill water bottles.

You can do this, but you cannot put it into your suitcases that go onto the ship, so you have to carry it around with you until your room is ready. New policy!

We didn’t put it in our suitcases! That would have been crazy heavy! I labeled it with our last name and room number and they took it from us with our luggage at the curb. It was waiting with our suitcases by our room. Very easy!

Re: Disney Cruisers - what do we pack
My dd wore her princess dresses all day, every day, unless she was in her bathing suit.
Otherwise, you’ll want clothes that look neat if you are doing any of the ticketed character greetings for the pictures (capris, nice top or casual sundress). I wore capris and a blouse most nights to dinner, nice dress formal night. Nothing is too formal, but there’s tons of characters and pictures all the time and we sort of regret looking sloppy in some of them.

They don't do that anymore! They wouldn't for our last cruise...that's considered "checked bags" and they make you carry it on yourself now

T's and tanks and shorts for during the day. Bathing suits and cover ups. My DS was 3 last year. For dinner he wore khaki's and polos or button downs. Bring a water bottle to fill up during the day. We had one for each of us and it helped. Back pack for when you leave the ship. I don't think we packed anything 'special' that we didn't take on any other cruise or beach type vacation. Except the pirate outfit for my son. Have fun! We loved our Disney cruise last year. We had one planned for August but decided to do the parks last minute.
