Disney Cruise Line has now made it easier for those who like to pre-pay their Disney Cruise gratuities. Previously, if you wanted to pay gratuities in advance, you had to call Disney Cruise Line to do it, which only increases the call volume to the call centre making the wait times longer for everyone else. You don't have to pre-pay of course, the gratuities can be added to your onboard account during your cruise otherwise. Simply login to your Disney Cruise Line account via the website or the app to pay for your gratuities in advance.
To help make your cruise even more carefree, pay gratuities in advance for the exceptional service you’ll be receiving on board the ship. We recommend a gratuity amount of $14.50 USD per night, per stateroom Guest, including infants and children.
Pre-Paid Gratuities are distributed to the Crew Members who take care of you in the following roles:
Dining room server
Dining room assistant server
Dining room head server
Stateroom host
Guests staying in Concierge Staterooms and Suites are recommended a gratuity amount of $15.50 USD per night, per stateroom Guest. This includes gratuity for the Stateroom assistant host, who services the Concierge accommodations, in addition to the positions listed above.
If you choose not to add Pre-Paid Gratuities before boarding the ship, we will automatically charge your onboard account the suggested gratuity amount.
