Ahoy there, Deborah!
Welcome back to planDisney. We're so glad to hear from you again! It sounds like you’re gearing up for an amazing Disney Cruise Line adventure, and I completely understand wanting to make sure you have your favorite items on hand.
Disney Cruise Line does offer a variety of
complimentary soft drinks, but as you may know, they exclusively serve beverages in the Coca-Cola family, including Diet Coke. Since you mentioned having an allergy, I absolutely understand why you’d want to bring your own Diet Pepsi. In fact, I have a friend who has a sensitivity to aspartame and does the same thing for every Disney cruise she takes!
The good news is
you can bring unopened, factory-sealed bottles or cans of Diet Pepsi with you! The key is to pack them in your carry-on luggage rather than your checked bags. A small rolling bag works great for this since it’s easy to maneuver and fits through the security scanner. Once on board, you can store your soda in your stateroom refrigerator to keep it nice and cold. However, keep in mind that your stateroom might not be ready immediately after you board, so you may need to carry the soda with you for a few hours.
And the best part? You’re welcome to enjoy it anywhere on the ship, whether you’re lounging by the pool, watching a movie, or relaxing on your verandah (if you have one!). Just be sure your beverages aren’t in glass containers when in public areas.
While Diet Pepsi won’t be available on the ship, there are plenty of other included beverages you might enjoy, such as iced tea, lemonade, and filtered water, along with apple, orange, and cranberry juices in the buffet and main dining rooms. Hot tea, coffee, and cocoa are also available throughout the ship.
Speaking of dining, one of my favorite things about Disney Cruise Line is
rotational dining! Your serving team will travel with you to each of the main dining rooms, and after the first night, they’ll remember your preferences, so if there’s anything special you’d like, be sure to let them know. They truly go above and beyond to make every meal magical.
I hope this helps as you get ready for your cruise, Deborah! Wishing you smooth sailing, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions. We’re always happy to help!
Bon voyage!
