Disney Cruise Line tightens alcohol policy

Starting in
October, Disney Cruise Line guests will no longer be able to bring spirits on
board with them.

The cruise
line posted a change in its policy, limiting guests over 21 to two bottles of
wine on embarkation or at each port of call, or one six-pack of beer.

Disney was
one of the few cruise lines that allowed passengers free rein to bring
alcohol on board.

As before,
guests bringing alcohol aboard must bring it in carry-on luggage, not checked
baggage. Carry-on alcohol cannot be consumed in public areas or lounges, Disney
said.

A corkage
fee of $25 will apply to carry-on wine or champagne consumed in the dining
room.

Spirits or
wine and beer in excess of the limits will be safeguarded until the end of the
cruise, Disney said.

The policy
takes effect for cruises departing on or after Sept. 30.
