Disney Cruise Line is changing their alcohol policy beginning September 30, 2015. This will affect customers who have already paid off their cruise and are unable to cancel and all customers who have considered this a main perk. The new policy will no longer allow DCL customers to carry on liquor. It will only allow for 2 bottles of wine / champagne OR a 6 pack of beer. Wine and beer aren't for everyone's tastes and some can't drink either for certain medical reasons. We are simply petitioning DCL to also allow for a limited amount of liquor to be added to the list and to hold off implementing this policy until all current PIF (Paid In Full) customers have sailed under the policy that is already currently in place. Although, we would rather this new policy not take place at all. It also has some of us wondering... which main perk will they take next? We also would like a statement from DCL on the true reason behind this change.

Please see DCL's post regarding their new policy:

Each Guest 21 years and older may bring two bottles of unopened wine or champagne (no larger than 750ml) or six beers (no larger than 12oz) onboard in carry-on luggage at the beginning of the voyage and at each port-of-call.

All alcoholic beverages packed in checked luggage will be removed and stored until the completion of the cruise.

Wine or champagne in excess of the two allowable bottles or beer in excess of the six beers will be stored and Guests may retrieve them at the end of the voyage.

All liquors and spirits (including powdered alcohol) are prohibited and will be stored until the completion of the cruise.

Guests must retrieve any stored alcohol at the end of the cruise. Uncollected alcohol will be destroyed and no compensation will be offered.

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

Disney Cruise Line Corkage Fee Increase

September 30th will also serve as the date for the new corkage fee charged to Guests who bring their own wine or champagne into one of our restaurants will be $25 per bottle, up from $20.

The policy change is fine, but the timing isn't! It is not fair to put this in place after my family has PIF for our trip based on policy you had in place! At the very least you should put this policy in place at a later date. You should also offer a beverage package now!

While I did receive a personal phone call I still feel strongly that DCL needs to include limited alcohol. I am handicapped and enjoyed a cocktail which resting in cabin. Also allergic to sulfite so can't drink wine. Please reconsider limited distiller liquor

The capability to bring a bottle of Ameretto on board is one of the reasons I booked Disney. I'm not a heavy drinker, but like to sit on my balcony at night with my kindle and sip a drink. Don't want to have to keep wandering to a bar to order one.

I feel it is unfair to change policies for people who have already booked their cruise. The Disney cruise is significantly more expensive than other cruises but one of the main reasons we choose it was because we would be allowed to bring our own alcohol.

change your policy if you feel it's the right thing but when the cruise person at Disney sold me on the cruise she pushed that the alcohol bill would be less cause you can bring on! Honor your sales pitch and let those who are PIF to be grandfathered in.

As a platinum cruiser, I thought DCL were a different cruise company, well god only difference now is you charge a fortune compared to your competitors. It will be interesting to see how many of your loyal following decide to try other lines. Great shame!

Sad we pay extra for Disney and take the one benefit that only existed on Disney. Guess we'll try carnival next cruise instead.
