Frozen beverages at a Disney Cruise Line Sail Away Party

NEW! Zero Proof Mocktail Menus Aboard Disney Cruise Line

May 28, 2024

When sailing away on a cruise vacation many people envision kicking back with a frozen drink in hand as the ultimate picture of relaxation. But these days more and more people are choosing to forgo the fully loaded libations for one reason or another. While we have enjoyed many cocktails on Disney ships over the years, lately in our everyday lives we have been finding ourselves choosing more and more mocktails for a healthier balance. We were a little nervous that if we were looking for an alternative to alcohol while onboard, the only thing available would be super sugary concoctions geared towards kids. But we were ecstatic to learn that Disney Cruise Line had just soft launched a brand new “Zero Proof Cocktails” menu featuring an array of elevated craft mocktails. (This is so new that the restaurant menus weren’t even printed yet!) Read on to learn more about:

  • The brand new Zero Proof Cocktail Menu

  • Special Signature Mocktails

  • And other non-alcoholic drink options
