We just got off the Dream. Paid for Concierge, which was not cheap. Then on top of that, you’re expected to tip. 😬 To be clear, we did tip extra on top of the auto gratuity, but it just made me feel some kinda way. Why can’t DCL pay its own staff?
We cruise on the Magic in spring 😊 this is our 4th with DCL but 1st on the Magic. So excited! But its always good to review the details before so thank you for sharing
Towards the end you talked about the difference between parks and cruising. Omgosh I 1000% feel the exact same. You said even better than I did in my brain. There's no comparison, completely different experiences. Great video, quick to the point and accurate. Awesome job!😊
First, your videos have been super helpful to us over the last 2 years. That said, we've been noticing more amd more little audio cuts that are sometimes distracting, as if you are using pre-recorded words and sentences spliced together as your voiceover. Or perhaps it's an audio rendering issue with your pc or editing software. Please don't take my comment as rude, we really do love your channel but the choppy audio is creating an artificial / uncanny valley vibe that distracts from the otherwise great info. Your older videos didn't have this issue, not sure when it started but it has been going on for some time now. Thank you again for keeping us educated and vacation-excited between cruises!
Have you done a video specific to the Australia and New Zealand cruises? Things may be different and Aus/NZ specific. A lot of people new to Disney Cruises (we are first time Disney cruisers), also a lot of people new to cruising overall. Also a lot of people here haven’t been to anything Disney before such as Disney parks.
I asked who gets the auto 18% gratuity on drinks and got such an evasive answer. I pressed and eventually found out that it goes into a massive pool that is split amongst all the bar staff (in various percentages, naturally). So don't think it's going to the person serving you and giving you that outstanding service. They'lll get a mere fraction of the auto-tip, so that's where the additional gratuity line become relevant, if annoying.
Airplane mode is VERY important. On our October cruise on the Wonder I got a warning from my service provider that "I was now connected to the ship's satellite service." Do you know what the price is for satellite service?! 😳
Hello, in your honest opinion what is the best age to take a cruise with toddler? My boy tiny human is 2. Thinking of taking a cruise soon. Would you say 3-6 good age or no?
You're certainly correct about the Youth Clubs. Our two kids, a boy and a girl, had absolutely no use for them whatsoever. That didn't keep them from having a magical time 😊
Hey there! Where do you go to reserve a private table for dinner? I have my first cruise coming up and I wondering from your experience if there has ever been popular demand to get a private table. Do you have to be quick to secure one? These videos have helped so much, Thank you!
If you have a travel agent they can put that request in for you, if not you can go into your reservation, click special requests, table requests, and there’s a drop down menu with private table as an option. Table requests are not guaranteed, they will try to accommodate your request, but if there’s no way for them to accommodate all requests then they might not.
This is the way to the special request and once you are on the ship, ask a crew member where the Dining Guest Services are located. You can check with them to verify if they were able to do a private table, or if they can at that time. Hope you have a wonderful cruise!
I appreciate the video and the info, but it was difficult to watch because of the over editing of the sound. Why do you need to splice together three sound bites to make once sentence? Pauses are cut out everywhere making it sound like a fake AI video. The speaker has a good voice that was butchered by the editor.
Are you allowed to give staff cash gratuities on the ship (such as a $1/2 tip at cove cafe for the barista, or put extra cash in the gratuity envelopes for your hosts?)
Hello there! Another question for my upcoming cruise, will there be any star wars representation on the Disney wonder? even just a sighting of a stormtrooper or something would be cool. Thank you again for these videos helping me to plan my cruise!
There is a metal clip next to each stateroom door, some are in the shape of a fish, which is how they get the name. You just hang it on the clip, and some people will zip tie them. The over the door kind aren’t actually allowed.
I can’t find the pdf for kids. Can you link it?

Yes, PLEASE!

Seriously I just want tipping to go away. Like charge me extra I just don't want to think about tipping.

Always a pleasure watching your videos!!
15+ cruises and I still learn something I didn’t know
Thank you!

The cruise is awesome... the parks are awful due to ridiculous line ups

Love disney cruises, favorite shop is the Fantasy and the Dream

Ok... but have you taken Virgin, Celebrity, SilverSea, Seabourn or RegentSS? Perspectives.
What a lovely cruise to take your parents on Will! Happy New Year to all of you!

What about 15+
Is there a particular place you can get the drink of the day cup?
They will have them on deck at the bars and many servers will be walking around the decks with them as well.
Thanks for the info! Just clarifying, is the DOD less expensive if you have the cup?

Yess so true
Plus.... She talks to Fast....😠😠😠
These are great tips
Thank you!
Are you allowed to give staff cash gratuities on the ship (such as a $1/2 tip at cove cafe for the barista, or put extra cash in the gratuity envelopes for your hosts?)
Yes you can do cash and some can be tipped through the app also.
Will auto gratuities at the bar still be added if you prepay tips?
Yes they will. The prepaid tips are for your dining team and stateroom host.
You forgot the Family of the Day! They're the VERY FIRST ones to board! Then Back-to-Back, then the others as you mentioned!
Hello there! Another question for my upcoming cruise, will there be any star wars representation on the Disney wonder? even just a sighting of a stormtrooper or something would be cool. Thank you again for these videos helping me to plan my cruise!
I think it’s unlikely. I haven’t seen a Star Wars character on the Disney Wonder. You’re welcome!
@@disneedsthank you for the information :)
I am underway in Disney wish
I hope you have a wonderful trip!
I just returned. Many major flight delays. But it had nothing to do with Disney.
I wanted to see Disney treasure
Same! Excited to see what they cover next Tuesday!
Do the fish extender hang over the door, can they? How do make sure they hold up heavier items?
There is a metal clip next to each stateroom door, some are in the shape of a fish, which is how they get the name. You just hang it on the clip, and some people will zip tie them. The over the door kind aren’t actually allowed.
Taking my next Disney cruise in August. I don't want to use anyone else.
The duck hunt is now banned on Disney Ships.
...That DCL is as expensive as a Luxury cruise line period
