    Is there a way to add gratuity to the cruise total price?

    Ahoy, Angela!

    Thank you for sailing over for help with your Disney Cruise Line question. It looks like you are counting down to a Very Merrytime cruise this November. I love experiencing a Disney Cruise Line vacation during the most magical time of the year, so I know you'll have a wonderful, festive time when it's your turn to board! 

    Once you book your cruise, you'll be able to prepay your gratuities through the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, on the Disney Cruise Line website, or by calling an agent at 1(800) 951-3532 Monday-Friday 8:00 am to 10:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm Eastern Time. If you booked your cruise through a Disney Vacation planner, please let them know you'd like to pre-pay, and they will take care of it for you. In the app, select "Home" and click "View All" under "Next Steps." This takes you to your Cruise Essentials section, where you'll find "Pre-Paid Gratuities." Select the "Add" button. On the website, you'll go to "My Reservations" and scroll down to find "Pre-Paid Gratuities." If you don't pre-pay, they will be automatically charged to your shipboard account during your sailing. 

    Your Very Merrytime cruise will be the highlight of this SEAson, Angela. The Disney Cruise Line Cast & Crew will help you get into the holiday spirit with jolly events and activities, like those hosted by Mickey and Minnie, such as their tree lighting ceremony and festive deck party. You'll also get to see Santa Claus and all your favorite Disney pals decked out in their holiday best. And if that's not enough, the ship will be dressed up with the most dazzling decor! Your cruise photos will be spectacular. Your Disney Cruise Line Navigator app will keep you up to date on all the holiday happenings while onboard. 

    It was a pleasure helping you, Angela. Please keep us posted on any other questions about your magical voyage.
