    I'm taking an alaskan cruise and looking to book excursions through the DCL app. I see the prices for excursions - is that the final cost or are there fees and gratuities applied automatically on top of the listed price?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Lisa! We're happy to have you back with us, asking another question. 

    You are in for some serious fun with your upcoming Alaskan sailing! My family recently returned home from visiting Alaska with Captain Minnie and Captain Mickey, and we had the best time ever. I can't wait for you to enjoy it all, including Port Adventures! The price you see listed per person is the total cost that will be charged to your onboard account. There will not be additional fees or gratuities added.

    Please note, however, that gratuities are appreciated by the tour operators but are solely at your discretion. I don't often have cash on me, but I make an effort to travel with cash when on a Port Adventure to tip for exceptional service. Depending on your Port Adventure, you might wish to have additional cash if you'll have an opportunity to shop or purchase food during the excursion. You can read more about the details of your specific Port Adventure on the page where you book. 

    On the glacier viewing day during your sailing, be sure to have plenty of layers to stay warm. Hot cocoa and cookies will be available on Deck 4 and Deck 10, forward. I loved walking around Deck 4 to take in the beautiful views throughout the cruise. I spotted lots of Disney friends out and about, too!

    Have the most wonderful time, and please stop by again if you have more questions. We are here to help!

    Bon Voyage,
