Disney cruise packing list
The short answer
For a Disney cruise, add to the usual list: a pirate-night outfit (often red, black and white, costumes optional), a dressier outfit for the dress-up or formal night, polished dress-casual for adults-only dining, swim cover-ups (swimwear isn't allowed in the dining rooms), and autograph books for character meets.

- Dress code
Cruise casual in most venues; swimwear and tank tops are not permitted
Dinner: khakis, slacks or smart jeans with a collared or polo shirt, or a dress, skirt and top. Shorts and T-shirts are allowed.
Shorter sailings have an optional dress-up night and a themed deck party.
Longer sailings add one formal and one semi-formal night, both optional.

- Bringing alcohol
One 750ml bottle of wine or 6 beers per adult, carry-on only
Guests 21 and older — or 18 and older on round-trip cruises from Singapore — may bring one unopened bottle of wine or sparkling wine no larger than 750 ml, or 6 beers no larger than 12 ounces each, at the start of the voyage.
These must be in carry-on bags, not checked luggage. Alcohol in checked luggage is removed with no compensation.
Everything must be in its original unopened container. Partly used bottles and broken seals are prohibited.

- Bringing water and soda
Soft drinks are free on board, so there is little need to bring your own
Soft drinks are included at no extra cost with meals, and at the beverage stations on board.
Complimentary soft drinks are also available in the teens-only lounge, Vibe. Smoothies there carry a charge.
Bar drinks, beer, wine and bottled water cost extra.
