Ahoy, Kef! Thanks for sailing by planDisney with your question. How exciting that you’ll be setting sail on the
Disney Wonder from Sydney! I think you’re going to love the classic charm of this ship, and I have a feeling
Tiana’s Place will be one of your dining highlights.
You’re smart to think ahead about
gratuities. Pre-paying is a great way to have one less thing on your to-do list once you’re onboard. While it doesn’t save you money, it can definitely make budgeting easier and keeps your final bill from being higher than expected.
Here’s how to check for the option:
1. Visit the Disney Cruise Line website.
2. Hover over “Already Booked” at the top of the page.
3. Click “My Reservations” and log into your account.
4. Scroll down to look for the “Add Pre-Paid Gratuities” link.
If you see the link, you can follow the prompts to add payment. If it’s not showing, especially if your cruise is already paid in full, you’ll want to
reach out to Disney Cruise Line directly by phone or through the online chat too. However, if you booked through a travel agent, they’ll need to handle it for you. Just be sure to make any pre-payments at least three days before you sail.
Personally, I’ve used the online chat before to add gratuities, and it was quick and easy. And don’t worry, if you decide not to pre-pay, Disney will automatically add the daily gratuity amount to your onboard account.
I hope this helps make your holiday smooth sailing, Kef! If you have any other questions before your magical adventure begins, you know where to find us.
Sea ya real soon,
Eean
