Purchasing Drinks During Our Dining Rotation

[goofy4u]

We will traveling on the Disney Dream February 23rd 2015

My wife and I do not consume alcohol very often. But we would like to have a glass of wine at dinner. What is the cost for a single glass of wine or a domestic beer... Just curious...

This blog has prices but I don't know how up-to-date they are.

Prices for beer/wine are pretty much in line with what you would pay at a land-based restaurant.

Note that you can buy a bottle as well and they will store it between meals. If you like the same wine, might be cost effective.

We usually get a glass of wine from our favorite bar, and carry it with us to the appropriate rotational dining room; we arrive few minutes after the dining room opens so we are not in the huge crowd standing at the door as they open.

For Palo and Remy, the Meridian lounge is a wonderful relaxing place to sip a few before dinner. The dining staff will be more than happy to arrange a refill if requested!

You can also take a bottle of wine on board with you and get glasses from room service and then take your own wine to dinner.

 

This is the cheapest option if you normally don't drink and don't want to feel like you have to drink the whole glass.

We've had wonderful stateroom hosts before who have brought us a bucket of ice and glasses. We bubble-wrapped our wine and put it in our luggage so we could enjoy our glass in our cabin and bring it to dinner. For the wine I drink, a corking and storing fee far outweighs the cost of my favorite!

The cost of your drink at dinner is going to depend on your personal taste, just like any establishment. They're not necessarily over-priced. You'll see it on your stateroom bill…no money is exchanged while on the ship. You do have the option of paying down your bill at guest services throughout the sail.

Please note that you are permitted to bring beverages of any sort in your CARRY ON luggage only. It is not permitted to be in checked luggage in any form, whether bubble wrapped, in plastic containers, or any other variety of packing.

 

If it is noted in your checked luggage it will be removed and returned to you at the end of the cruise. If it breaks in the luggage, you will be charged for any damages done to any other guests' belongings.

 

If you are flying in and using DCL transfers, do not put the DCL tags on the bags as home. Claim your bag at MCO, remove the beverages, and place them in your carry on. Take the large bag with you to the Welcome Center where it will be checked for you and you will next see it in your cabin.

This!

 

Plus you should also note that DCL's rules and regs also state that alcohol brought on board in your carry-ons is to be consumed in your stateroom only. Not carried around to dinner, etc. Do they have a way of knowing? No. BUT they definitely keep track of alcohol sales, and the more they drop off because people bring their own on and choose NOT to follow the rules and regs set forth, the more likely they are to cut down on the ability to bring your own on board.

This is only partially correct... you can bring a bottle (or more) on board with you; however, DCL policy requires that you consume it in your room, not in public spaces such as pool decks and dining rooms.
