Hello again, Barbara and thank you for cruising to us again at planDisney! My fellow Disney Cruise Line panelist Andrew and I are always happy to hear from you.
Your cruise on the
Disney Dream is on the horizon! I hope the countdown to vacation is in full swing! Are you using the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app from home to view the character-filled countdown? I love to see those numbers ticking down as I anticipate the adventures I'll have on my next Disney Cruise.
I did a little digging for you and it sounds like O'doul's brand non-alcoholic beer is available to order in the
nightclubs, lounges, and while dining in the
rotational dining rooms onboard the Disney Dream. These beverages are not included in your cruise fare but can be purchased at an additional fee. If you'd prefer, you can bring your own non-alcoholic beverages on the ship with you as long as they are unopened and in the luggage that you carry with you onboard. A limited amount of beer, wine, or champagne can also be taken onboard, and
specific details about the alcohol policy can be found here.
Regarding your Pirate Night inquiry, on recent cruises, the entertainment for
Pirate Night has looked just a little bit different than the Pirate Nights of the past. No need to worry, the changes were great and my family enjoyed experiencing some new entertainment, specifically with the buccaneer takeover during our mealtime. During the day we made pirate crafts, played interactive pirate game shows, and enjoyed the pirate-theming of our dinner. While there was not a pirate deck party, we did enjoy some spectacular fireworks to close out our wonderful day. For our sailing, an after-fireworks buffet was not offered.
Each cruise is unique as your Cruise Director will work hard to make plans tailored to your sailing. As May is still a few weeks away, and plans are subject to change, I'm not able to guarantee what your experience on Pirate Night will entail. I do know that the entertainment offerings and service that the Disney Cruise Line continues to provide will be top-notch. There will be magic for everyone onboard!
Have a wonderful sailing, Barbara, and cruise to us again if you have more questions. We are here and very happy to help!
Have a dreamy vacation,
Adrianna
