Optional services, items, and activities that may incur a fee beyond your cruise cost include Port Adventures, alcoholic and specialty beverages, spa and salon services, babysitting in the ship's nursery, phone calls, internet packages, souvenirs, and adult dining.

While a Disney Cruise is famously inclusive of "high-fidelity" entertainment, Broadway-style shows, and most dining experiences, there are several "extra" costs that travelers in 2026 should budget for. Included in your base fare are three main dining rooms, 24-hour room service, soda/coffee/tea at the 11th-deck beverage stations, and the legendary kids' clubs. However, you must pay extra for "Adult-Only" specialty dining at restaurants like Palo or Remy, alcoholic beverages, and specialty coffees from the Cove Café. Additionally, port adventures (shore excursions), spa treatments at Senses Spa, and "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique" makeovers carry significant fees. One of the most important extra costs is onboard gratuities, which are typically $14.50 to $15.50 per person, per night. While you could technically have a full vacation without spending an extra dime, most guests find that the "extras" like the "Squid Ink" tattoo parlor on the newer ships or professional photo packages add a necessary layer of magic to the overall voyage experience.
