When you check your bags at the cruise terminal, they are taken, X-rayed, and then loaded onto the ship. From there, the cruise line staff delivers your luggage directly to your stateroom the evening of your first night. Usually this will take a few hours.
The luggage allowance for Disney Cruise Line is two suitcases per person.

You have choices when it comes to checking your bags on a cruise. Usually, you can check your large luggage during boarding, and it will be delivered to your stateroom.

Yes!Guests are totally welcome to bring bottled water onto the ship as long as it is factory sealed in its original packaging.

The best time to board a cruise ship is obviously when there are few lines and short waits. The trick is knowing when that will be. Unfortunately, it can vary from port to port and ship to ship, but I prefer arriving in the early afternoon, usually around 1 or 2 p.m.
