Disney Cruise Line raises recommended gratuities while onboard

Disney Cruise Line raises recommended gratuities while onboard

Much is included in the cost of a Disney cruise but gratuities are not. Gratuities for Disney Cruise Line crew members like dining room servers and stateroom hosts can be paid ahead of time or while on the cruise.

Disney Cruise Line has a set amount to tip each crew member. Those guidelines have now changed.

In recognition of all that crew members do, Disney has increased the recommended gratuity guidelines for select positions. The recommended increase is $0.25 per person/per day for the Assistant Dining Room Server, Dining Room Server, Dining Room Head Server and Stateroom Host/Hostess. The total recommended gratuity is $14.50 per person/per day based on the length of the cruise.

For Concierge Guests Disney has added the Assistant Stateroom Host/Hostess position to the recommended gratuities. The recommended gratuity is $15.50 per person/per day based on the length of the cruise for Concierge Guests. Additionally, Concierge Guests often ask for guidance regarding gratuities for the Concierge Lounge Team. As a suggestion, Disney recommends $8 per Guest/per day for the voyage, but it is always up to the Guest to determine what they feel is appropriate.

Please note, gratuity amounts for Guests who added pre-paid gratuities to their reservation prior to July 2, 2022, will be protected.

Guests can also add more to the gratuities they leave the crew if they feel so inclined.
