What kind of cups to take on a Disney Cruise?

There are usually insulated cups sold on the DCL ships, though it's always possible that they could sell out on your sailing before you have a chance to get to the shops. If you absolutely must have a reusable cup, bring it with you. Tumblers sold in onboard shops.



While Disney Cruise Line provides complimentary soda, water, tea, and coffee at the 24-hour beverage stations on the pool deck, the cups provided are typically small, disposable paper or plastic cups that don't hold much liquid. To maximize your convenience in 2026, many seasoned cruisers recommend bringing a large, insulated reusable tumbler (like a Yeti, Stanley, or Tervis). These are excellent for keeping your soda cold while lounging by the Quiet Cove pool or keeping your coffee hot during an early morning walk on Deck 4. It is important to note that for health and safety reasons, you should not fill your personal cup directly from the dispenser; instead, you must use a fresh provider cup to transfer the liquid into your tumbler. Additionally, if you plan on bringing your own wine or beer on board (within Disney's specific allotment of two bottles of wine or a six-pack of beer per adult at embarkation and each port), bringing a shatterproof acrylic wine glass can elevate your in-room experience, as the ship's glassware is usually standard glass.
