Disney Cruise Line Increases Gratuities Starting Today
Disney Cruise Line has announced an increase in their gratuities beginning today, January 18th. Anyone who has sailed with Disney understands the vital role that the Disney Cruise Line crew plays in the amazing and outstanding service each guest receives. In order to commend the crew’s world-class service, the recommended gratuity is being increased.
The recommended increase is $0.50 per passenger per day for the Dining Room Service Team and Stateroom Host/Hostess, making the total recommended gratuity now set at $13.50 per passenger per day. The total gratuity is based on the length of the cruise.
Disney Cruise Line has not increased the recommended gratuities since 2008.
If guests with current sailings added pre-paid gratuities to their reservation prior to January 18th, 2019, they will keep that rate of $12.00 per guest, per night. Guests who add pre-paid gratuities to their reservation today, January 18th or after, will be charged the new rate of $13.50 per guest, per night of their sailing.
The timing of price changes varies by ship:
Disney Fantasy – Jan. 19, 2019 (Port Canaveral)
Disney Magic – Jan. 20, 2019 (Miami)
Disney Wonder – Jan. 20, 2019 (San Juan)

Disney Cruise Line continues to be one of the top cruise lines in the industry. The Cast Members and crew on board are what makes them simply the best!
