Ahoy, William!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! One of many reasons my family continues to sail with Disney is the phenomenal service we receive on our cruise vacations! In fact, it makes it very difficult to leave because we love how well they take care of us. Your stateroom host/hostess and dining team will go above and beyond to make your cruise experience one-of-a-kind! The
suggested gratuity amounts are a way to thank them for their personalized service. You can pre-pay your tips before you set sail by calling Disney Cruise Line at (800) 951-3532 up to three days prior to sailing. If you don't want to pre-pay, your onboard account will be charged the suggested amounts during the cruise. Towards the end of the cruise, pre-paid vouchers and envelopes will be delivered to your stateroom to be given out the last evening.
Current Suggested Gratuity Amounts:
Dining Room Server- $4.00 per Guest, per day
Dining Room Asst. Server-$3.00 per Guest, per day
Dining Room Head Server-$1.00 per Guest, per day
Stateroom Host/Hostess-$4.00 per Guest, per day
A 15% tip is always added to bar, deck or wine service, and an 18% is added to any spa services. These amounts will be charged to your onboard account. Your discretion is to be used when tipping Room Service, at Palo or Remy, the Dining Manager and Port Adventure guides and operators. You'll want to bring cash (small bills) for Room Service and for tipping on your excursions. All other tips mentioned can be added to your stateroom account.
Thank you for stopping by with your question, William! Let us know if you think of anything else!
Have a magical day!
Nancy
