Can I Bring My Own Beverages on a Disney Cruise?

Updated February 14, 2024

A common question from people going on a Disney Cruise is can I bring my own drinks? The answer is yes, but with some rules to follow.

Adult Beverages

Yes, you can bring alcoholic beverages on your Disney Cruise. Every passenger over 21 years old may bring a maximum of 2 bottles of unopened wine or champagne (no larger than 750 ml) or six beers (no larger than 12 ounces) on board at the beginning of the voyage and at each port of call. You must pack the drinks in your carry-on (not checked) bags or luggage.

Carrying two bottles of wine or six beers at each port is excellent, especially on a long cruise. We have sailed on a couple of Westbound Transatlantic cruises. The ability to bring on wine at the port allowed us to have more than enough wine for the crossing.

Please note:

• Alcohol packed in checked luggage will be removed and not returned, and no compensation will be offered.
• All alcohol brought onboard must be in an original, unopened container. Partially used bottles and those in which the seal is broken are prohibited.
• Any wine or champagne over 2 bottles or beer more than 6 beers is prohibited and must be discarded before entry, and no compensation is offered.
• Liquors or spirits or excess wine and beer purchased in ports of call will be stored until the end of the cruise.
• Guests MUST retrieve stored alcohol at the end of the cruise. Items not retrieved will be discarded, and no compensation will be offered.
• Alcohol brought on board may not be consumed in any lounge or public area.

Please note that the Disney Cruise Line alcohol policy is subject to change without notice.

What About Water?

You can bring a case of water on the cruise, but you must carry it on the ship. As you can see in the picture below, luggage gets piled up on top of one another. I wouldn’t want to have someone’s water bottles break open and soak the other luggage.

I Like Dr. Pepper. Can I Bring it With Me?

Yes, you can bring soft drinks on the cruise with you. Soft drinks are included in the cost of the cruise. You can get these soft drinks at the Beverage Station on Deck 9 of the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder and on Deck 11 of the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish. Soft drinks are also available at the teens-only lounge and are included at no extra cost with meals. If you don’t like Coke products or want to avoid going to the beverage stations, you can bring all the soft drinks you can carry.
If sailing in Concierge, you can request your favourite non-alcoholic beverages in your mini-fridge.

You can find beverages like milk on the buffet at breakfast. If you want, you can take milk from the buffet and keep it in your fridge to have on hand. You can also order milk from room service or at the beverage station.

I Don’t Want to Carry on Beverages

If you want water or soft drinks in your room but want to avoid carrying them on, you can order them from room service or order them ahead of time from Onboard Gifts. You can also order wine, champagne, beer, and cider through the onboard gifts.

Suppose you want to avoid carrying any wine and beers on. In that case, there are many opportunities to enjoy a reasonably priced adult beverage on the cruise, from the drink of the day to alcohol beverage tastings.
