How to reserve
Unlike some other cruise lines, Disney Cruise Line does not offer a traditional, all-inclusive unlimited alcohol package. Instead, they provide specific beverage packages, primarily for wine and beer. You have the option to pre-purchase these packages online or buy them once you are on board the ship. To pre-purchase, you can log in to the "My Cruise Activities" section of the Disney Cruise Line website. Under the "Onboard Gifts" or "Onboard Fun" category, you will find available beverage packages, such as wine packages (offering a bundle of bottles at a discount) or beer packages. Pre-purchasing allows you to secure your selections and may offer a slight savings compared to on-board prices.
How to purchase
If you prefer to wait, you can purchase drink packages once you're on the ship. The wine packages are most commonly purchased on the first night of the cruise at your main rotational dining room. Your dining team or the sommelier will provide you with information on the different options and help you make your selection. The beer mug package can be bought at any bar that serves draft beer.
Age restrictions
Nightingales is restricted to guests 21 and older after 9:00 PM, offering adult-exclusive cocktails and piano entertainment. Daytime hours may allow families with non-alcoholic beverages, depending on the ship.
