A Guide to Alcohol on Disney Cruises (2027)

A Disney Cruise Line vacation is a great option for families, and enjoying a drink can make the experience even better for adults. This guide explains where and how alcohol is served, along with Disney’s onboard alcohol policy. Read on for our complete guide to alcohol on Disney cruises.

Note: This article was last updated October 2026 for 2027 sailings, including Disney’s June 2026 carry-on alcohol policy, current drink and wine package prices, and drinking-age rules for the Singapore-based Disney Adventure.

Disney Cruise Line Alcohol Policy

As a guest on Disney Cruise Line, you must comply with all laws, policies, and procedures regarding the consumption and distribution of alcohol. You may not provide any other person with alcohol, regardless of their age.

Is alcohol included in the price of a Disney cruise?

Disney cruises are nearly all-inclusive, but some beverages are an additional charge.

Alcohol is not included in the price of a Disney cruise, nor is tipping the server or bartender. These drinks are charged to your stateroom account, and paid out-of-pocket or with Disney onboard credit. 

The following refreshments are provided at no additional cost:

• Soft drinks, coffee, and tea served at meals
• Non-alcoholic drinks at the Beverage Station
• Drinks served at Vibe teen lounge

The following beverages are subject to an additional charge:

• Alcoholic beverages, bottled water, smoothies, and specialty coffees offered during meals
• Beer, wine, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks, and bottled water available in lounge areas

What’s the drinking age onboard a Disney Cruise?

Disney Cruise Line’s alcohol policy states that all guests must be 21 or older to purchase or consume alcohol unless covered by a special exception (outlined below). Those who appear to be under the age of 30 will be asked for ID when purchasing alcohol.

Can 18-year-olds drink on Disney Cruise?

The drinking age on all of Disney Cruise Line’s ships is 21, but 18- to 20-year-olds cruising with Disney may be permitted to consume alcohol on these itineraries:

• Round-trip cruises departing from European countries with a lower drinking age: Parents or guardians may sign a Beverage Consent Form which permits an 18- to 20-year-old to consume alcoholic beverages while in the adult’s presence.
• Round-trip cruises departing from Singapore: Passengers 18 and older may purchase and consume alcoholic beverages with no need for parental consent/presence.

Rules may change from time to time; always check the current policy to ensure you have the latest information.

These policies and exceptions are designed to help Disney’s younger guests enjoy their cruise while still following the laws of the countries they sail from.

To be clear, onboard drinking age policies are based solely on the country the cruise departs from, not on an individual passenger’s citizenship.

All adult-only areas are available to guests 18 and older. These include the nightclubs and lounges, spa, fitness center, Quiet Cove Pool, and adult-only restaurants. Serenity Bay is a gorgeous private beach on Castaway Cay reserved for adults 18 and older, and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point has its own adults-only Serenity Bay, too.

Although Disney Cruises allows guests 18 and older in the ship’s adult areas, the legal drinking age is still 21 in these areas.

Can Guests bring their own alcohol on Disney Cruises?

Disney Cruise Line guests may bring beer and wine on board, but keep a few things in mind.

NOTE: Disney updated its carry-on alcohol policy in June 2026, cutting the wine allowance from two bottles to one per guest and lowering the dining room corkage fee from $29 to $20.

• Each guest of legal drinking age (21+, or 18+ on round-trip Singapore sailings) may bring either six beers (12 ounces or less each) or one bottle of wine or champagne (750 ml or less) at embarkation.
• If guests bring their own alcohol on board, they can enjoy it in their stateroom or on their verandah. They can also bring their bottle of wine or champagne to the dining room, subject to a $20 corkage fee per bottle.
• Disney will store any alcoholic beverages purchased at ports of call, including wine, champagne, and beer, until the cruise ends.

Here are some more things to keep in mind with alcohol on Disney Cruises:

• Disney will remove alcohol from checked luggage and will not return it. Compensation will not be given.
• Passengers must bring alcohol onboard in the original, unopened container. Broken seals and partially used bottles are prohibited.
• The ship will not allow you to bring more than one bottle of wine or champagne, or more than six cans of beer, and it will not refund your losses. Do not try to bring in more than the allowed amount.
• Passengers cannot consume alcohol brought on board in the lounge or public areas.
• The guests are responsible for retrieving stored alcohol at the end of the cruise. Disney’s policy is to dispose of unclaimed items without compensation.
• Disney Cruise Line may change their alcohol policy at any time without notice.

Compared to other cruise lines, Disney Cruise Line has one of the most generous policies regarding bringing alcohol on board. Follow these guidelines to save money on your Disney cruise while enjoying your favorite alcoholic beverage. So put your favorite drink on your packing list!

Does Disney Cruise Line have a Drink Package? 

Disney Cruise Line doesn’t offer an all-you-can-drink alcohol package like some other cruise lines. However, they offer a wine package that may be a better value, depending on how many bottles you plan to order.

The Classic Wine Package includes three to seven bottles of wine, and the Premium Wine Package includes three to seven bottles of wine with a higher-quality selection.

If you don’t finish the bottle during dinner, your server will save it for you. It will be ready and waiting for you when you go to dinner the next day. Or you can ask your server to cork it up for you and take it back to your stateroom or another bar to enjoy.

Prices for the Disney Cruise Classic Wine Package:

• 3 Bottle Classic Wine Package: $105.00
• 4 Bottle Classic Wine Package: $135.00
• 5 Bottle Classic Wine Package: $160.00
• 7 Bottle Classic Wine Package: $220.00

Prices for the Disney Cruise Premium Wine Package:

• 3 Bottle Premium Wine Package: $155.00
• 4 Bottle Premium Wine Package: $205.00
• 5 Bottle Premium Wine Package: $250.00
• 7 Bottle Premium Wine Package: $330.00

All Disney Cruise Wine Packages automatically add an 18% gratuity.

In addition to the wine packages, you can buy smaller bundles, such as six-packs of beer or hard seltzer and multi-packs of bottled water.

You can purchase the Wine Package and other drink packages through your Disney Cruise Navigator or your server at your first rotational dining restaurant. Better yet, let a Disney travel agent handle it for you!

What Types of Alcohol are available on Disney Cruises?

Disney cruises offer a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. Guests can find beer from around the world, including popular American brands. Wine selections include red and white wines, and the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy each have a dedicated champagne bar (Pink and Ooh La La).

Cocktail choices are vast and include both classic and contemporary drinks. If you’re looking for something non-alcoholic, there are plenty of options, such as mocktails, virgin cocktails, juices, and sodas.

How much does alcohol cost on Disney Cruises?

The cost of an alcoholic beverage on a Disney Cruise depends on the type of beverage and the venue. Cruise fares do not include alcohol, so guests must pay separately.

Beer starts around $6.50 to $9, wine runs about $8 to $18 a glass, and cocktails typically cost $10 to $15 or more, plus an automatic 18% gratuity. Drinks at specialty restaurants like Palo are also extra, and the Platinum and Pearl Castaway Club Palo dinner credit doesn’t cover them. Prices are subject to change.

All the beverages served on board Disney cruises are complimentary, except for alcoholic beverages, certain specialty drinks, and bottled beverages. Soft drinks, coffee, and tea are included with meals, along with non-alcoholic drinks at the Beverage Station and soft drinks in the Vibe teens-only lounge.

Drinks in Disney Cruise Rotational Dining Restaurants

On a Disney Cruise, you can select from a wide range of drinks when dining in the main rotational restaurants. You can order any cocktail you like, plus a special selection on your menu each day, chosen to complement the food and theme of the restaurant. Two alcoholic cocktails and another non-alcoholic cocktail are always available.

Wine lovers can bring their own bottle (subject to a corkage fee) or purchase the Wine Package. Many wines on the Wine List are also available by the glass. Specialty coffees and liquors are also available for an additional fee.

If you want something non-alcoholic, all the soda types available on the pool deck are also free to drink in restaurants. You can also have iced tea or Sprite for free.

Adult Exclusive Bars, Lounges, Nightclubs, and Restaurants

Passengers can purchase alcoholic beverages at Disney Cruise Line’s restaurants, pool bars, lounges, and nightclubs. Here’s a list of the Adult Exclusive (adults only) locations on Disney cruises. Reminder: Adult Exclusive venues are open to anyone 18 and older, but guests must be 21+ to purchase and/or consume alcohol in these areas.

Beverage Tasting Events on Disney Cruise Ships

Beverage tastings on Disney cruises allow guests to sample select adult beverages and learn about different types of wine, beer, spirits, and more. Seminars vary by ship and itinerary, so check the daily onboard activities for times and locations.

A nominal fee applies to beverage tastings, and availability is limited. Guests must be 21 or older to participate. Events are subject to change or cancellation without notice.

Reservations for beverage tastings can be made online through My Reservations on DisneyCruise.com or at any time during your cruise. We recommend reserving your spot as early as possible because these events are popular. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the reserved experience. Guests will be charged the full price if they cancel within 24 hours of the event.

Get a taste of everything from amari to whiskey, and everything in between. Here is a list of the Beverage Tastings on the Disney Cruise Line ships:

• Amari Tasting

• Beer Tasting

• Bourbon Tasting

• Champagne Tasting

• Chocolate & Liquor Tasting

• Cognac Tasting

• Kick-Start Your Day Beverage Tasting

• Martini Tasting

• Mixology Class

• Mojito & Caipirinha Tasting

• Rum Tasting

• Stem-to-Stern Wine Tasting

• Tequila & Margarita Tasting

• Whiskey Tasting

Beverage Tasting events on Disney cruises usually cost between $40 and $50, though some special events may cost more. Book in advance, as these sell out quickly.

Save Money with the Sommelier Bin

If you want to save money on wine during your Disney Cruise, check out the “Sommelier Bin” on Disney’s cocktail menus.

For around $14 per glass, you can choose from a selection of white, red, or sparkling wines. Your bartender will select a wine for you based on the available open bottles.

It’s a fun way to try an unknown or expensive wine without spending too much money.

Try the Disney Drink of the Day

Disney Cruise Line offers a different Drink of the Day each day, with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions available. This will be shown daily in your Navigator App, but if you don’t know what it is, ask any bar staff.

Since the alcoholic version usually costs around $6.50 plus the 18% gratuity, the Drink of the Day is one of the best values on board. Although it is impossible to predict which Drink of the Day will be available on your Disney Cruise, some are offered more often than others.

Some popular Drink of the Day choices include Captain’s Mai Tai, Espresso Chiller, High Tide, Melon Margarita, Paradise Punch, Sunken Treasure, and Yellow Bird. For those seeking a non-alcoholic drink, options may include Parrot Song and Passion Cream Freeze, Mint Tea Punch, and Lava Smoothie.

Can you buy alcohol in Castaway Cay?

Guests can purchase alcoholic drinks at several bars on Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. The island’s four beach bars (Conched Out Bar, Heads Up Bar, Sand Bar, and Castaway Air Bar) serve beer, cocktails, and frozen drinks. Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point also has bars serving drinks for an extra charge.

Castaway Cay Tip: One of the most requested beverages on Castaway Cay is the Konk Cooler, a mix of rum, orange juice, and passion fruit. Try it!

So, there you have everything you need to know about alcohol on Disney cruises! Whether you’re looking to enjoy a beer by the pool, a cocktail or glass of wine with dinner, or learn all about bourbon at a Beverage Tasting event, you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for on a Disney cruise. Just remember to drink responsibly and have a great time!

Cheers!
