Disney Cruise Line Drink Package Price: Is It Worth It?

Published 25 May 2026 · 3 min read · Cruise Questions Canada editorial team

Quick answerDisney Cruise Line's beer and wine packages — Disney does not sell an unlimited all-inclusive alcohol package costs roughly $45–100 USD for a multi-beer or multi-bottle wine package, depending on quantity per person per day at recent pricing, plus a 18% gratuity, and breaks even at around the number of beers or bottles in the package — Disney's packages are quantity-based (six beers, three bottles of wine) rather than unlimited daily plans, so they pay off only if you'd finish them — so it suits guests who drink steadily from lunch onward and rarely pays for light drinkers, who do better with pay-as-you-go or a soda-and-coffee package.

Disney Cruise Line's all-in drink package is a good deal for some guests and an expensive habit for others — the maths below tells you which you are.

The price

Roughly $45–100 USD for a multi-beer or multi-bottle wine package, depending on quantity per person per day at recent pricing, plus a 18% gratuity added to the package price, bought for every day of the cruise. Pre-cruise purchase through your booking is typically cheaper than the on-board rate. Prices vary by ship and sailing; confirm current figures.

Break-even

With cocktails, wine and premium beer each running roughly $10–16 on board, the package pays for itself at around the number of beers or bottles in the package — Disney's packages are quantity-based (six beers, three bottles of wine) rather than unlimited daily plans, so they pay off only if you'd finish them per person per day. Below that, pay as you go; above it, the package wins. The general framework is in Are Drink Packages Worth It on Your First Cruise.

What's included

Disney sells quantity packages — a set number of beers or bottles of wine at a discount to per-drink pricing — plus a soda package; no unlimited alcohol plan exists, which suits its family market and its generous carry-on allowance. Drinks above the package's per-drink price cap cost the difference.

Who it suits

Sea-day-heavy itineraries (Caribbean, transatlantic) with steady drinking from lunch; Alaska's port-heavy days and early mornings suit it less, as covered in Cruise Vs Flight and Hotel Vacation Costs.

The both-adults rule

Disney's packages are per person and quantity-based, so there's no both-adults rule; each adult buys what they'll drink.

Cheaper alternatives

Disney Cruise Line's soda, coffee or beer-and-wine packages cost a fraction of the full package; bringing your wine allowance aboard (see Disney Cruise Line Alcohol Policy) covers cabin drinking for nothing.

Getting the package bundled instead

Many Disney Cruise Line promotions include the drink package in the fare — for a couple who'd buy it anyway that's worth hundreds of dollars, and it's the first thing worth checking for your dates before paying separately.
