Disney Cruise Line SCAMS 

I did the same thing for food/drink purchases. When we got back home I noticed they already charged the gratitude plus I gave some, things like popcorn and alcohol drinks.

I know that!

That’s kind of the norm in the cruise industry. You want to tip additional, more that’s really appreciated by the staff. Typically these crew are contracted to stay on board for months. Food and quarters either come out of the pay or part of the pay and hence a lower take home amount. That built in tip gets split among all crew including ones you don’t see. When you tip the housekeeping and the wait staff, it’s gravy for them. Tip if you want, but there are guys like the ones who just process trash, deal with dishes, or run the washing machines who don’t get much.

Yup. Especially Nassau. I never get off anymore. I go for the ships.

See you there!

Is there an additional gratuity for the concierge team? You have the ones for the dining team and the stateroom attendant, but I’m curious if there is another one for the concierge team as well.

@@Kzorithwe always tip concierge team they go above and beyond for us.

@@barbwirewebworks I was more asking if they had a separate slip on the sheet of paper they give you the night before the end of the cruise that you put in envelopes for the rest of the team.

@@Kzorith yes, yrs they do

We cruised for the first time, on the dream and did Concierge. We thought it was 100% worth it and booked another one already LOL.

i agree. there has been a huge jump in their clickbait headlines...it's sad because they typically have good content and they deliver it well, but they have become desperate to compete with the negativity circus that is happening all over social media.

How tf is it clickbait?

@@littyravioli8039 the title implies or infer that Disney Cruise lines are going to scam you or are out to Scam you. The title should have been scams to watch out for why I want a Disney cruise or any vacation. Near the end of the segment, they said these are not technically scammed, but they feel like scams. if you decide to go on a Disney cruise the cruise and then decided to do your research you did it in the wrong order. There are tons of good websites for where you can find out all your information ahead of time paying for luggage on an airplane is a scam, changing of the time sadly. As for excursions everything they said is correct other than mentioning viator for Europe, and for Alaska, you contact the excursion companies directly. on my last skin cruise, we went to what 34 ports all of the excursions were 60% Disney Cruise people with the sticker on their chest and for the last port where we went on a crab boat, 30 families had stickers on their chest and two couples did not in Alaska, you don’t have to worry about getting back to the boat on time because you usually going to be an excursion full of Disney people> Caribbean. I can add that other Disney bloggers have commented on RU-vid and RU-vid suggest things to do and say so things with food are very popular. I’ve been told by watching and sadly it’s going to be Clickbait because they’re trying to get new people who don’t religiously watch them and subscribed. All in all, it was a very good article and everybody needs to follow it research research research and research includes going to RU-vid as well as many other places keep up the good work

Off-topic to this video, but they didn’t mention it is to do with the loyalty points. Disney sucks and I consider that a scam most other cruise lines will do it based on days so some will do three days as one or whatever.. if I was using another cruise line, I would essentially have about 12 points by now instead of only three because I enjoy the longer cruises because I pretty much live as far away as you can on the 48 continuous states from Florida lol

It’s only minorly clickbait-y. They start off with actual scams to watch out for, then down to scams that could happen on cruise trips and then the last are just legal “scams” Disney pulls. At the end of it, these are all good things to watch out for with cruises.

That ship is so much fun! Have a great time!

@@dfbbreea Thank you! I just bought GF chocolate chip cookies so I can make an ice cream sandwich on Castaway Cay!

In the ports yes, while sailing no

They have no casinos. You may pay less on Carnival, but you’re still giving them the balance at their casinos anyway. Disney has free room service and you don’t have to pay for a soda or water package (I can’t believe the other ships charge you for soda for typical drinks). You also don’t get nickel and dimed to death unlike RC, and their kids clubs and entertainment are superior to the other lines. You get what you pay for. Carnival is known as “Walmart of the seas” for a reason.

@@mindyschocolatealso you get to take pictures with the characters which is a plus! Also their crew give amazing service from the day you walk on the cruise to the photos, food, and leaving. It’s nice

Agree

We love cruising with Disney. The extra price seems to weed out a lot of the riff raff. I said what I said.

@@Empressrandawhat’s riff raff?
