I take my service dog to Disney as well as on Princess and now NCL cruise. It is really easy. If you took your wonderful dog you would be glad you did. I have also never had trouble taking her off the ship with me. Everyone needs to step up and everyone needs to allow for service animals. They will help you help her. The one place where the rules are not to allow dogs off the ship is Hawaii. I did not take my Fergie off the ship in Hawaii. They have a 30 day policy. I am not sure about the ADA law and if they can do that legally with a service animal but I didn't fight it or complain or check with attorney I just kept her on board. I am gong to Canada and Alaska in a couple of weeks and I just got on line and looked to see what the rules were for Canada and Alaska. It was easy and they only need rabies shot records signed by vet. I went to vet, he gave to me. Done. You really should not be made to feel like its a hassle to have a disability and not be able to have what you need. That is the point of the ADA (1990). Take your dog, you will be glad you did. The cruise ship put a potty spot out for you. At Princess it was in a employee only area and was perfect. Easy walk, private, Fergie loved it. Good luck!
