Purchasing alcoholic beverages on your Disney cruise can be a pricey option
As of June 3, 2026 updated
Changes from 2 bottles wine/champagne to 1 bottle
All alcohol, including liquors, spirits, wine and beer purchased in ports of call will be collected and stored until the end of the cruise.
Disney Cruise Line Guests 21 years and older—or Guests 18 years and older on round-trip cruises from Singapore are permitted to bring 2 1 bottle of wine or champagne (no larger than 750 ml) or 6 beers (no larger than 12 ounces) when they first board their cruise and at each port of call.
Alcohol packed in checked luggage will be removed and no compensation will be offered. Please be aware, Guests who have beverage containers in checked luggage have experienced damage to their belongings.
All alcohol brought on board must be in an original unopened container. Partially used bottles and those in which the seal is broken are prohibited.
Any wine or sparkling wine in excess of one bottle or beer in excess of 6 beers is prohibited and must be discarded prior to entry. No compensation will be offered.
All alcohol, including liquors, spirits, wine and beer purchased in ports of call will be collected and 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.
The bottles or cans must be packed in your carry-on (not checked) bags or luggage.
Guests who wish to bring the wine or champagne that they have brought to enjoy in one of the onboard dining rooms will be charged a corking fee of $29$20 per bottle. A corking fee is charged when guests choose to bring their own bottle of wine or champagne into a rotation dining room, or the adult restaurants of Remy, Enchanté, Palo, and Palo Steakhouse. Guests who bring wine or sparkling wine on board and then wish to consume it in one of the dining rooms will be charged a corkage fee of $20 USD per bottle.
Bringing liquors and spirits (including powdered alcohol) onboard is prohibited. These items will be stored until the end of the cruise.
The drinking age on board is 21, and a valid photo ID is required.
However, during round-trip cruises departing from any European country that has a lower drinking age, parents or guardians may sign a Beverage Consent Form that allows their 18- to 20-year-old children to consume alcoholic beverages while in the adult’s presence.
In addition, for round-trip cruises from Singapore, Guests 18 years of age and older may purchase and consume alcoholic beverages without parental consent.
If draft beer is your drink then you are in luck. Disney Cruise Line sells a 21-ounce glass refillable beer mug.
When you bring the mug to have it refilled, you pay the standard pour price for 16 ounces, so you’re getting an extra 5 ounces each time you use it.
DCL sometime changes prices therefore make sure you ask if the fees have changed at all
An example of a No is trying to bring 4 16 oz. cans instead of 6 12 oz. cans
Can you reuse previous cruise beer mugs?
No you have to buy a new one each time on the new cruise in order to obtain the deal
You are permitted to bring a case of water (or other non-alcoholic beverages on board like soda or tea) as long as all of the bottles are sealed and packed in your carry-on luggage which should be no larger than 9" x 14" x 22".
We all know that types of alcohol have evolved - there are canned wines, hard ciders, seltzers, and more. In my experience, the size of the containers is what was used to evaluate whether we were under the limit. On my most recent sailing, I brought eight small cans of wine and six beers. The canned wine totaled less than 1,500 mL (two standard bottles), so the Cast Members at security allowed this. Your mileage may vary, but as long as you're not trying to bend the rules, you should be fine!
People have tried White Claws since they sell them onboard but no luck FYI.
What About Non-Alcoholic Drinks with 0.5% Alcohol
Each guest 21 years and older may bring 1 of the following allotments of alcohol onboard in their carry-on luggage at the beginning of the cruise and at each port of call.
2 1 bottles of unopened wine or champagne (no larger than 750 ml. each)
6 beers (no larger than 12 oz. each)
If there is any % of alcohol in the non-alcoholic beer, the limit is up to 6 beers (no larger than 12 oz. each). If there is no % of alcohol in the non-alcoholic beer, you may bring as many as you can in your carry-on.

FAQs

Disney Cruise Line does offer Beer Packages and Wine Packages with various price points. To sign up for a beverage package, you can either pre-purchase one through Onboard Gifts or you can purchase it once onboard. My preference is to wait until I'm onboard because I feel like then I will have a better sense of what I will be wanting.
While cocktails and spirits are not part of any package program, you could sign up for a Beverage Tasting which is a great way to find a new favorite beverage! These interactive seminars are designed to teach Guests about the making of and origins of some popular spirits and liquor. We always end up making new friends with fellow cruisers and have a lot of fun in the process! My favorite seminars have been the Mixology Class and the Tequila and Margarita Tasting. The prices are always subject to change but currently range from approximately $20-35.
Another planDisney tip is to order the Drink of the Day! There’s a new one featured each day and it is served at a discount. The Disney Cruise Line Navigator app will give you information on each day's drink and where you can find them onboard! I always prefer to order them directly from a bar or lounge because they tend to be more fresh that way instead of taking one from a server’s tray.
Finally, you can also carry beer and wine onboard with you. Each adult 21 years of age or older can bring two bottles of unopened wine or champagne (750 ml or smaller) OR six beers (12 ounces or less) on embarkation day and at each port. Just make sure when carrying alcohol onboard, you follow the steps outlined. Plus, when you first arrive at the port, any wine or beer must be in your carry-on luggage and NOT in your checked luggage.

Disney Cruise Line Guests 21 years and older may bring a maximum of 2 bottles of unopened wine or champagne or 6 beers on board at the beginning of the voyage and at each port of call. These beverages must be packed in your carry-on luggage. Guests who bring their own bottle of wine into the dining room are charged a corking fee. You can, however, bring a glass of wine to dinner and not be charged. Just ask your stateroom attendant for some wine glasses and a corkscrew, and you can sip and savor a glass of wine whenever you’d like.
Another option is purchasing a wine package before boarding or on the ship. On the Disney Cruise Line website, navigate to Already Booked > Onboard Gifts to view the Classic or Premium Wine Package. Each evening you’ll pick a bottle or two from the exclusive wine list selected by the onboard sommeliers. What you don’t finish can be brought back to your stateroom, or your serving team can rotate it to your next dining room.
