    Hola. My question is regarding the gratuities. Other cruise lines added the gratuities automatically to the account at the beginning or the ending of the cruise. Are the gratuities added to the account or are opcional in the Disney cruises?

    Ahoy, Jenny!

    Ready to set sail on a voyage sprinkled with pixie dust and smooth sailing? Tipping is a fantastic way to say “thank you” to the incredible crew who will be making your cruise extra magical. From towel animals to midnight snack wishes granted, they go above and beyond to ensure your adventure is unforgettable!

    Disney recommends a gratuity of $16.00 per guest, per night (yes, even for your little buccaneers) for your stateroom team and dining room servers. These unsung heroes work their magic behind the scenes, so you can kick back and enjoy the Disney difference at sea!

    Want to keep things shipshape? You can pre-pay gratuities through My Reservations in your Disney account. If you booked through a travel agent, they can wave their magic wand and handle it for you. Prefer to go with the flow? No worries! Gratuities will automatically be added to your onboard account, and if you need to adjust anything, just stop by Guest Services and they’ll be happy to help!

    Now, let’s talk extra pixie dust. Pre-paid gratuities cover your main dining team and stateroom attendants, but some special experiences aren’t included. Expect a standard 18% gratuity for bar drinks, specialty dining (like Remy & Palo), room service, Port Adventures, spa treatments, and more. The best part? You can conveniently charge these to your onboard account so no need to fumble for gold doubloons!

    So sit back, soak up the magic, and let the crew make waves of wonder for you. Your Disney Cruise adventure is about to be practically perfect in every way!

    Bon Voyage!
