brining wine and beer on board

[hart6066]

You can only bring beer in cans, correct? I know there is a cork fee if you bring it to MDR, but it's fine to bring a beer from your room up to pool deck or something like that?
Thanks!

DCL expects any alcoholic beverages that you bring onboard will be consumed in your stateroom, not in public areas. The exception is a bottle of wine which you may bring to the MDR for a corkage fee.

I believe you may bring cans or bottles for beer, but it is limited to 6 no larger than 12 ounces each. You may bring on this allotment in each port.

The full policy is here: https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/...onboard/?int_cmp=INS-intDCLtoFAQAlcoholPolicy

Enjoy your cruise!

Just throwing this out there, and not advocating any moral positions:

When we have brought wine on board, we have been given glasses from the bars with no questions asked. If you're walking about the ship with a glass of wine, nobody knows the difference where you got it. Again, just putting that out there. Not saying anybody could or should do that. Just observing a fact.

Beer can be in bottles or cans, just not any larger than 12 ounces and no more than 6 beers or 2 bottles of wine (750ml or less) per adult brought onboard at embarkation and at each port of call. Alcohol carried onboard is supposed to be consumed in your stateroom, with the exception being bringing a bottle of wine to the MDR and paying the corkage fee on it.

   a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy.
   "he was an untiring advocate of economic reform"

Nope, I specifically did NOT advocate. Giving information is not equal to advocacy. If I said, "Hey, you SHOULD do this," that would be advocating. Pointing out a bridge isn't the same as advocating that you jump off it.

Uh huh. I'm sure if someone said to you "I think I'm going to go jump off a bridge" and your response was "I'm not advocating you do, but I hear that bridge is really popular with people jumping off of it. Not saying you should do that, just observing a fact" nobody would question your intentions in the slightest.

You can argue semantics until the cows come home. The point here is that grown adults can make their own decisions using the available information.

The "available information" is that alcohol brought onboard is to be consumed in your stateroom. Except for bottles of wine you may bring to the dining rooms (with a charge).

Posting other information as to how to "get around" the policy is advocating.

From the official rules list on DCL website..bold is mine.

• Alcohol brought on board may not be consumed in any lounge or public area.

So question - how is bringing a glass of wine from the concierge bar to dinner with you vs bringing a glass of wine from your stateroom to dinner with you any different? I understand the rule but I also understand what GBB is saying too. I honestly think this is the real reason behind the change in the alcohol policy, people just refilling their drinks in their stateroom. For the record we've never brought a glass of wine from stateroom to dinner but I do see on the concierge boards that this happens with the cocktail hour and I do see folks drinking wine glasses around the ship. We've never been concierge yet but maybe going to try the bring a glass of wine to MDR from cocktail hour thing.

ETA: also not trying to disrespect the board with my commentary, I know you all have to adhere to reflecting DCL policy properly as a matter of board policy (which I appreciate)

I agree about bringing wine from Concierge or a lounge to the MDR. I believe the OP had asked about beer in bottles. I guess everyone is on the honor code.

With a concierge room, Disney more than got paid for that glass of wine you are toting around. Disney did not get paid if you pour in your own room and carry it around.

And that's where the logic ends. It shouldn't matter WHERE I drink MY wine that DISNEY won't be collecting money on. Disney isn't making money on my bottle period. I can drink it in my room, which is within the rules. If I take my glass of wine with me, Disney still isn't making money on the contents of that bottle. If Disney wanted to make their money, just take $ at checkin for all alcohol brought on board. Out of respect for policy, don't leave your stateroom with your case of beer or your bottle of wine.

I have NEVER had an issue bring a Corona around the ship. The issue is Disney is one of the few that allows people to bring alcohol on board. I dont want them to get rid of that perk, they have already severely limited it.

Is there a specific Concierge Board? or just posts re Concierge? Thanks.

sorry I mis-typed, I meant to say concierge conversations/posts on cruising boards

Specific threads yes, forum, I don't think so.

Bumping up an old thread but had a question. Is the limit per person or per state room? My husband and friends and I are considering a 7 night cruise and want to bring some wine/beer on board to attempt to save money. My husband doesn't drink but our friends are giants that can drink a lot without getting a buzz. Are we able to bring 2 bottles of wine a person or six pack a person or is it per stateroom? Thanks!

per adult who is of legal drinking age, per port. So you can restock in ports too.

Sweet thanks! I wasn't sure if when you buy at the ports they had to hold onto it for you until the end of the cruise.
