Wine in cans/small boxes

[Jesslm80]

I’m just trying to avoid carrying glass on board because I’ve been know to be clumsy. Within the allowed ounces guidelines, has anyone brought wine in small beer size cans or small individual boxes? It’s not about quantity with me, it’s about having just a little something for our stateroom.

Thanks.

I have heard they do check and can confiscate wine if not in the bottles but again I heave heard of people getting it through. I personally would LOVE to bring those small bottles of wine or a box wine but I won't risk it.

It shouldn't matter if the wine is in a box, can, or bottle as long as you meet the volume limits.

To you, maybe. But DCL does take the trouble to specify "bottles"

Q.Are Guests allowed to bring alcoholic beverages on board the ship?

A.Disney Cruise Line Guests 21 years and older may bring a maximum of 2 bottles of unopened wine or champagne (no larger than 750 ml) or 6 beers (no larger than 12 ounces) on board at the beginning of the voyage and at each port of call. These beverages must be packed in carry-on (not checked) bags or luggage.

Guests wishing to consume wine or champagne that they have brought on board in one of the dining rooms will be charged a corking fee of $25.00 per bottle.

Please note:

• Any alcohol packed in checked luggage will be removed and stored until the end of the cruise.
• All alcohol brought onboard must be in an original unopened container. Partially used bottles and those in which the seal has been broken will be destroyed and no compensation will be offered.
• Any wine or champagne in excess of 2 bottles or beer in excess of 6 beers will be stored until the end of the cruise.
• Bringing liquors and spirits (including powdered alcohol) on board is prohibited. These items will be stored until the end of the cruise.
• Guest MUST retrieve any stored alcohol at the end of the cruise. Items not retrieved will be destroyed and no compensation will be offered.

They do specify "bottles" but I would think that's only because most people buy wine in bottles. Cans and small boxes of wine has only become popular recently.

Agreed. Because 99.9% of wine sold comes in bottles Disney probably didn't even think of the boxes or cans. The worst that would happen is that they might hassle you about it and then you would have to plead your case to a supervisor. Even if they put their foot down you would still get the wine back at the end of the cruise.

The biggest hassle Disney has is 2 adults that try to bring 2 3 liter boxes of wine which is obviously against the intent of the rules.

Agreed. I’d think they’d treat cans of wine like cans of beer.

Results may vary, but I have taken up to two of the small wine boxes per person onboard through PC on more than one occasion.

Always within the stated quantity limits. So much easier to transport!
