Can I drink at 18 on a Disney cruise?

Drinking Age Policy on Disney Cruises

Disney Cruise Line upholds a strict policy regarding alcohol consumption on its vessels. The minimum drinking age onboard all Disney ships is 21 years old, strictly adhering to US regulations. This policy applies to all guests, regardless of their nationality or the departure port of their cruise.

However, to cater to the diverse nationalities that embark on Disney cruises, the policy adapts to the legal drinking age of the country from which the cruise departs. This flexibility allows for adjustments when ships sail in international waters.

For example, if a Disney cruise departs from a country where the legal drinking age is 18, such as the Bahamas, guests who are 18 years or older will be permitted to consume alcohol onboard. This adaptation to local regulations ensures that Disney Cruise Line complies with the laws of the countries it visits.

It’s important to note that while Disney ships may allow for alcohol consumption by guests over 18 in international waters, the policy strictly prohibits guests under 21 from purchasing, possessing, or consuming alcohol onboard.

Bringing Personal Alcoholic Beverages

Guests are permitted to bring personal alcoholic beverages onboard Disney cruise ships. However, certain restrictions apply:

• Guests may bring up to two bottles of wine or six beers per stateroom.
• No hard liquor is allowed.
• Alcoholic beverages must be packed in their original, sealed containers.
• Guests must be 21 years or older to possess personal alcoholic beverages.

Disney Cruise Line reserves the right to confiscate any alcoholic beverages that violate these restrictions.
