Overview
- Disney published updated guest guidelines on May 28 that will limit eligible adults to one unopened 750 ml bottle of wine or champagne or six 12‑oz beers at embarkation.
- The policy, which takes effect fleet‑wide beginning June 3 with ship‑by‑ship rollout through June 8, requires all brought alcohol to be in carry‑on luggage and mandates that port‑purchased wine and beer be held by the ship until disembarkation.
- Disney also lowered the dining room corkage fee from $29 to $20 per bottle and reiterated that personally brought alcohol must remain sealed and cannot be consumed in public lounges or pool areas.
- Alongside the alcohol changes the line clarified other guest rules: selfie sticks and small tripods are allowed when folded under 18 inches and stateroom decorations must be placed on doors only with fees for damage.
- Frequent cruisers and fan sites are already debating the effect on vacation budgets and perceived value, and analysts note the move aligns Disney with wider cruise‑industry practice while potentially steering more purchases to onboard beverage sales.
