Another alcohol question

[sdlong329]

Your opinion, and mine is different. Acceptable, yes it is tolerated. Desirable, not IMO. Ex Techie

OP wanted to know if hubby was ABLE to bring beer ... did not ask for anyone's opinion, or whether it was tolerated, or desirable! The proper answer would have been, "YES!"

There are NO rules or recommendations from DCL about carrying a can of beer around...people even carry it by the bucket full!

... GOTTA LOVE that BUCKET-o-BEER!

Disney's policy is very clear:
"Alcohol brought on board may not be consumed in any lounge or public area. Guests who arrive in the dining room with a bottle of champagne or wine that has been brought on board will be charged a corking fee of $20.00 per bottle."

So "no one would know" doesn't seem the right approach. Disney is the only line I've sailed on that allows guests to bring their own alcohol aboard for consumption in their room; let's not give them second thoughts by not heeding their reasonable restriction.

The corkage fee is imposed if you want the server to cork the bottle AFTER dinner, and forward it to your next restaurant. We have brought a bottle of wine to dinner many times (including the ones you win on the ship) ... the server asks if we'd like to be served ... we say, YES PLEASE!

Yes, DCL permits guests to bring alcohol ... which is one more reason we sail DCL almost exclusively ... but we do not bring multiple cases of beer, or a case of wine or champagne on the ship. For DCL's generosity, we do not mind buying an occasional mixed drink ($7+) in the WD Theatre, or coffee ($3.50) in Cove Cave.

If you bring the bottle of wine or champagne, yes....but it doesn't say beer. They wouldn't normally charge a corkage fee for a bottle of beer....and that's the concern and reason for that policy. If you buy a bottle of wine onboard, at your table, they collect a fee. Not true when ordering a bottle/can of beer or soda. They just don't want to lose out on money they would normally be making.

Sounds like a bad Monday for a few people.

Nope, not me! I was merely coming to the rescue of a fellow DCL guest ... who was seemingly thrust into defense mode.

 

[extechie rbd/wdt]

Wow!
You all have been busy posting whilst I was away for 30 minutes!

Bad Monday, not at all, actually it was quite a good day at work and I spoke to my mom afterwards, got some food in and all is good!

Personally I think walking around a cruise ship with a can of beer is tacky.
If you do not like to pour it into a glass then so be it, but that is my opinion. If we were in your back yard then cool! But on a ship..... Not cool in my opinion. FLAME AWAY!

My comment to jilljill is seperate.

andersonfamily, I'm not sure DCL encourage people to walk around carrying a beer to advertise beer and sell more

My not in a can comment was more to stop someone looking less than someone might like to look walking into a classy restaurant, not Mc Donald's.
FLAME AWAY AGAIN IF YOU LIKE! (broad flame proof shoulders here)

insureman, it's a roll of duct tape but even if it were electrical tape, they both solve a myriad of problems in our world and are equally amazing!

 

[Disney Dreams]

We have preordered a case of beer to be waiting in our room
I know you can bring your own wine to dinner, will hubby be able to bring his beer to dinner

Yes.

Not in a can. Nor should he walk around the ship with a can.
If it were in a beer glass from the bar's or a DCL Beer Mug, then no one would know.

Ex Techie

Why can't he? It's purchased from DCL.

Taking a can of beer is distasteful IMO.
In a glass would be better.

Ex Techie

The question wasn't about tacky or etiquette. The question was about what's allowed and what's not.

...I never thought beer etiquette could become as hot a topic as appropriate attire can!

hehe, but this is DIS.

Disney's policy is very clear:
"Alcohol brought on board may not be consumed in any lounge or public area. Guests who arrive in the dining room with a bottle of champagne or wine that has been brought on board will be charged a corking fee of $20.00 per bottle."

The OP isn't bringing the alcohol onboard. It's being ordered from DCL and being placed in their stateroom.

I can think of one really good use for duct tape right now.....

What beer DO they sell on the cruise, so that I can pack accordingly for DH. He doesn't care to swap beers mid-day/mid-buzz

 

[extechie rbd/wdt]

Thank you for the flowers, no hard feeling's, but.

We all have different opinion's, views, and interpretation's of the rules, guidelines and what we think is appropriate and what is not.

There are too many thread's on here discussing dress attire for the MDR's, is my kid allowed with swim diapers, and can my kid aged (?) go into the club even though they are not old enough thread's and post's on here.

I voiced my opinion, and as it seem's, many didn't agree.
Does that mean they are all right and my opinion isn't valid?

It's a discussion forum and everyones opinion is valid, whether you think it's right or wrong, and the poster has to take what they want from it and make their own decision, based on the information given and their own personal judgement.

It's all about discussing, commenting, and then making a decision for yourself.

I agree 100% if the OP had said, "What does everyone think about carrying a can of beer around the ship?" However, what the OP asked was, "Is it allowed?" The answer is, "yes." You said, "no."

Sorry, but I replied as in my opinion, as to what is right not as per the DCL rules.

What counts here is NOT WHAT YOUR PERSONAL OPINION IS BUT WHAT Disney POLICIES ARE.

 

[millscrew]

This is all over beer in a can or in a glass. I think you should drink your beer how you want to. We had a case on our last cruise and we will do it again. We drank it out of the can. We didn't bring it to dinner since each night we would drink one of the specials. Drink from what makes you enjoy your beer. It is yours after all.

 

[designertravels]

It appears by the gifts page, Dis is selling just about any beer that comes in a metal can. We will buy those prior to cruising and walk around with our expensive convenience store beers.

Cheers! Jill

 

[WeLoveDisneyAlways]

Wow! I went to sleep with one reply and I see it's made quite a debate since. I agree it is tacky carrying around a bottle of beer but I also paid DCLs mark up for the beer so hubby could enjoy himself and I know he would enjoy a beer with dinner. He has no intention of carrying a beer around the ship that's more inconvenient then anything. It just leaves me to think if he wasn't allowed it in the dining room then what was the point of purchasing it if he had to be in the stateroom to enjoy it?

 

[TDC Nala]

He can put the beer in a glass and carry it anywhere, including the dining room. Absolutely no questions will be asked about a glass of beer in the dining room. If he walks in with a can, don't know if he will be asked where he got the can or not.

Glass containers are not permitted on the open decks. For those who carry bottles around, that will be allowed on the inside decks, but not the open passenger decks (pool and observation decks for instance).
