Welcome aboard, Adrienne!
We always find the Cast Members onboard our
Disney cruise to be so incredibly helpful. Not only do they do their jobs that are expected of them, but they are always smiling and sharing joy with the guests, and go way above and beyond what is expected to make the guests' experience so incredibly magical. Our dining room servers and our stateroom hosts make our cruise fabulous. We love returning to our stateroom in the evening to find that our stateroom host has left us a cute towel animal, in a different place each day! Our favorite is the monkey hanging from the ceiling! My kids insist on photos with their towel animals each night, so we have a nice little record of the animals that are there to greet us. Whenever we have special requests for our room, our hosts have been so quick and happy to respond!
You're certainly welcome to leave them little gifts, however the
traditional gratuities are what are most appreciated. These can be pre-paid or automatically charged to your stateroom account toward the end of the sailing. We like to add additional gratuities to the traditional amount each time because these hosts work long hours, so hard all day and night, every single day to make sure we have the most amazing cruise experience. I just don't know how they do it all, and with such joy and smiles. They are wonderful! We tuck extra cash in our tip envelopes for them, or just stop down to Guest Services to add additional tips to be charged to our account. It's easy.
I know that your stateroom host will take great care of your family, Adrienne. Have fun planning your cruise!
