If you’re planning a Disney Cruise, one of the questions that may come to mind is whether all the food on the ship is free. The answer is not as simple as a straight yes or no, so let’s dive into the details.
What’s Included in Your Disney Cruise Fare?
When you book your Disney Cruise, your fare includes a lot of things. Here are some of the basics:
- Your stateroom
- All onboard meals (excluding some specialty dining options)
- Kids’ clubs and programming
So, Is All Food on Disney Cruise Free?
While most of the food on a Disney Cruise is included in your fare, there are some exceptions. Here are some examples:
- Specialty Dining: Some restaurants onboard require an additional fee. For example, Remy and Palo are two upscale dining options on Disney ships that have an extra charge.
While non-alcoholic beverages like soda, coffee, and tea are included with your meals, alcoholic drinks come with an additional cost. While room service is free during certain hours of the day (usually morning until late evening), there is a nominal fee for ordering room service outside those hours. Additionally, if you order certain items from room service (like popcorn or candy), there may be a charge. In general, though, you can expect to find plenty of delicious food options that are included in your fare. From casual quick-service spots like the pool deck pizza joint to elegant main dining rooms, there’s something for everyone on a Disney Cruise.
Final Thoughts
While not all food on a Disney Cruise is free, you can rest assured that there are plenty of included dining options that will satisfy your appetite. Be sure to check out the daily cruise newsletter, which lists all of the day’s meal offerings and their locations. And if you do decide to splurge on a specialty dining experience or an alcoholic beverage, just know that it’s completely up to you – and it won’t detract from the amazing all-inclusive experience that Disney Cruises are known for.
