Just remember that you have to carry all of that crap back and forth.

Since even for a cruise I only travel with one bag that I can carry in one hand, my clothing selection was very limited on the cruise.

If you're going to have planned nights for skipping an assigned dinner I suggest skipping Animator's Pallette. Do it once, but after that I found it the least enjoyable of the dining rooms.

Although, with Magical Express, Disney handles all the luggage and brings it right to the Stateroom, and then picks it back up the night before we arrive at Los Angeles. We had all kinds of crap for our honeymoon, and it wasn't a nuisance at all. :)

I don't let my luggage out of my sight since it is usually worth more than I am, but that isn't difficult since I hardly ever travel (no matter how long) with more than can fit in a large gym bag.

But regardless, I was just raising the issue (we went with a couple that pretty much brought their home with them and it made for a crowded stateroom). But as we all know, definitions of nuisance vary.

Presenting: The 24-Hour Self-Service Beverage Station! (And, it's free!)
 

This station offers sodas, water, coffee, milk, iced tea, juices, cocoa, and an assortment of hot teas. Cups are small (around 14 ounces), but you can always take as many as you can carry, or bring your own "jumbo travel mug" to fill. :)

Canned sodas from room service or bars are $2 each, so it's much better to just grab them yourself at this station - it's even located right near the aft elevator.

Also, on the first day, crew members will try to sell you the Evian "water package" - it's 12 bottles of water for about $25. I recommend NOT doing this, and just bring one or two bottles with you and refilling them at the station, as needed. The water that is dispensed tastes great - it's filtered right onboard the ship itself.

All rooms are equipped with a small Beverage Cooler - a tad warmer than a regular fridge, but perfect for keeping drinks chilled!

Hmmmm - is there a fuzzy water option?

LOL! You really need to become Gold again so you can see what i'm posting in the private forums at MC.

Eh, I figure you've got us covered over there - but I suppose I should do the same over at MP

Nobody today travels like they did in the golden age of travel. For example: Mrs Charlotte Wardle Cardeza, first class passenger, boarded the Titanic with fourteen trunks, four suitcases and three crates of baggage. Her luggage included 32 pairs of shoes, 15 rings, 84 pairs of gloves, a black lace gown valued at $900, and inumerable hats - laces - hair ornaments - parasols - necklaces etc. We know all this because she filled a detailed insurance claim for her lost possessions that is over 18 pages long. And she was far from the most encumbered traveler on board!

And I bet she never touched one of those bags or even unpacked them in her room. Even with Magical Express, that is hardly the truth these days.

I forgot to mention that the claim totaled over $177,000. That's 1912 dollars.
