Disney Cruise Line is very gracious and permits guests to bring alcohol onboard at embarkation. On other cruise lines, they will confiscate your beverages and return them at debarkation. This privilege does come with a few rules. First, all alcohol must be carried on with you at embarkation. Any beverages found in checked luggage will be removed, stored, and returned at the end of the cruise. The main reason for this is that the glass bottles can break and ruin not only your clothes, but other guests luggage. No one wants to start their cruise doing laundry when they could be enjoying the Sail Away Deck Party, or worse, miss dinner. The other rule is that any alcohol brought on board may not be consumed in any lounge or public areas. The exception to this rule allows for bottles of wine to be taken to dinner for a $20 corking fee.
Any liquor purchased in port may be brought onboard and consumed in your stateroom. However, any alcohol purchased onboard from the ships duty free store (see below for a price list) will be held until the last night of your cruise.
Whomever said that there is no such thing is a free drink is wrong. Well, technically, they are right, but Im not going to get into that discussion. Complimentary drinks are available during
Castaway Club Reception, and the Captains cocktail party, usually held on formal night in the Atrium Lobby.
