What's Included in a Disney Cruise?

One of the most common questions I get is "What exactly is included in a Disney Cruise?"

To help you budget accordingly, I have included information on what is and what is not included for your Disney cruise.  
 
Your Disney Cruise Includes: ​

• Stateroom accommodations (as booked)
• All meals on board the Disney Cruise
• All entertainment on board the Disney Cruise
• All activities for adults and teens on the Disney Cruise
• All children programming in the Oceaneer Lab and Oceaneer Club 
• All snacks and non-alcoholic beverages (from the drink station and dining rooms) on the Disney Cruise
• Taxes/port charges 

Other amenities/options are available on your Disney Cruise for a fee.  These are optional (other than tips...those are important)

Optional Items Include:

• Tips: tipping is customary for your: Server, Assistant Server, Head Server, and Stateroom Host. 
• Shore excursions (Port Adventures)
• Alcohol
• Spa Treatments

• Gratuity for room service deliveries 
• Arcade games 
• Services for Nursery (for children that aren't old enough for the kids club)
• Internet connections

Soft drinks are free in all dining rooms at any dining location and at deck 9 Soda stations on Magic/Wonder and Deck 11 soda stations on the Dream/Fantasy.   

Keep in mind that you can bring your own soda, candy, wine/beer etc. onboard the Disney Cruise. I will send you a separate email with Disney Cruise Line's alcohol policy.  Disney asks that you put these items in your carry-on bags in case of breakage/leakage so that your luggage and others luggage will not be damaged.

If you did not pre-pay gratuities prior to your cruise, Disney Cruise Line will automatically charge your onboard account the suggested gratuity amount.
