Nice being able to get the Royal Gathering. I am the same way after checking in. I can’t get back to sleep and am awake for hours.

I was surprised I was able to get 12:45 PAT, I thought for sure I wouldn't get a time before 2pm. We have Boarding Group 14 so I'm sure we'll be waiting awhile, but I'm happy with it.
I was also able to get the Royal Gathering, I did it for Day 4 to try to beat the rush and it looks like day 4 still has availability.
Unlike you both I passed right out after lol

Although I’ve been on 7 Disney cruises, I’ve never attended the Royal Gathering. Can someone please elaborate on what it is. Is it appropriate for adults only to attend, or is it just a children’s activity?

The Royal Gathering is a Meet & Greet with about 4 to 5 of the Disney Princesses. Just like in the theme parks guests of all ages are welcome to attend and have photos, get autographs and enjoy a chat. You will meet each princess one at a time as your turn comes up. You can do a search on YouTube and find videos of the event on the different ships if you like to see more.

Embarrassing question: is there a weight limit for the aquaduck? I have a fear of getting stuck inside lol

You’re not alone with that fear . I am happy to tell you there is no weight limit for the aqua duck.

Here is a link to Plan Disney, which discusses such a topic.

Port of Manhattan Parking Reservation

It appears you can make a reservation if you plan on parking right at the Manhattan port. It will be $180.00 for parking at the Port. You can follow the link and then click on our sail date to book.

Has anyone actually used this site to book parking at the port? It is weird that when you click on any DCL cruise it returns the following error "Sorry, no reserved parking available". However, all other cruises from other lines have availability to book reservations.

All of the reserved spaces for Disney cruise are booked. But I hear you can show up to the parking terminal and shouldn't have a problem finding a spot.

Correct all their allotted reserved spaces have been booked up. You should still be able to show up and find a spot as long as your arrive early. Remember spaces open up as those leaving the ship leave their parking spots.
