How much are you suppose to tip on a Disney Cruise?

Question

I am hoping to go on a Disney Cruise next year. I have been figuring how much it will cost. I called Disney Cruise line and asked how much they recommend to tip everyone per day. Since I am considering a 7 night cruise they recommend $76.25 per person per night. For two people that is $1067.50. That is more then half what the cruise cost. Does anybody actually tip that much?

I am not trying to be cheap and I want to tip fairly, but that seems way too high.

Answer 1

I think $10 per person per day is more like the usual amount.   You should figure on spending about $150-200 on tips for the week, if you have two people in your party.

Probably, the travel agent was trying to telling you that you could expect to spent $76.25 per person for the entire week.

Answer 2

We just got back from a Disney Cruise.  The last night of the cruise they will go through the tipping process.  It's petty much standard.  

We were on a 4 night cruise and the tipping was suggested at 43.75 per person.  So the 4 nights for the 4 of us cost 175.00.

This is only suggested, you can pay more or less depending on your service.  

The amount that you found I think is the total per person for the 7 nights. So the total I come up with is 152.50 for the total tip.  Which is in line with what we paid per person per night which was about 10.90

Have fun...the 4 night cruise was a blast...can't wait to try their 7 night.

Answer 3

For room service, you will want to tip a couple of dollars, or more depending on the size of your order. You will also want to tip the porters a dollar or two per bag. If you order drinks, a gratuity is automatically added.

ADDITIONAL HINTS FOR TIPPING

Charge your tips early. The line can get quite crowded at Guest Services if you wait till the last day of your cruise. We tip the recommended amount early and then add some extra cash for anyone who gives us exceptional service.

Be creative. In addition to tips, little items such as phone cards are appreciated. This should be given in addition to the suggested cash amount, not in place of it. We pick up a batch of phone cards at Sam's Club prior to our cruises. They also make a nice thank-you for persons in positions that aren't traditionally tipped, such as kids counselors, cruise staff and guest services.
