experiences on the cruise you have to pay extra

[professorandmom]

Not Wagyu beef - it's on the menu - the upcharge is for Miyazaki beef. 2 oz. for $55 or 4 for $110. It is the best beef I have ever tried. Miyazaki beef is a very special type of Japanese Wagyu, better than Kobe beef, and is raised by only a few farmers in the Miyazaki Prefecture.

You CAN do the whole cruise and not pay and extra penny but...as already stated there are enhanced experiences and activities that cost extra. We have done cruises and the only extra money we spent was on souvenirs and room service tips. But our most recent cruises we have done the most basic island tours which are well worth it to see the island away from the cruise terminals.

So true

A family member of ours spend nothing extra on their cruises. They only pay the cost of the cruise and nothing more out of pocket. As they also pre pay their tips and budget that ahead of time.

Mostly due to the fact for them a family 6 DCL is a big stretch money wise
As DCL requires them to have 2 staterooms due to the overall number of people
They both work 2nd jobs just to get the money to pay for DCL

If your on a budget or don't want to pay anything more than your cruise fair. It's 100% possible and many people do it

The tip we have is why not book your cruise with a Disney authorised travel agent.
They offer onboard credits for booking with them. The price of the cruise is the same as if you book direct with Disney. But you get the onboard credits or free money.
Depending on the room cat you book...you can get some really great credits from your ta

And you can use them for anything on the ship drinks, excursions, spa etc
Or you can pay your tips with the credit.

If your looking for a travel agent we highly recommend Dreams Unlimited Travel
Who are also owners of these forums.
We use Tracey H. At dreams and she's beyond amazing, so helpful, and lighting quick responses to anything

Take advantage of dreams unlimited travel onboard credits
And you can easily do any of those same extra up sells on the cruise...That you might have not done without the onboard credit

the breakfast with the characters is every day? (on a cruise of 7 days)

I believe it was offered on 2 out of our 3 at sea days...I got my tickets around 4 pm on embarkation day so it's possibly they didn't have any availability left on the third day. And just remember its disney jr characters...our 2 year old loved it, but the 7-9 yr old kids with the other family at our table were not into it at all.

Unless it has changed, breakfast with the characters is free (but you do have to get tickets)

Do they have breakfast with characters on 4 nights cruises?

I don't think so. I know they typically are on those cruises of 7 nights and longer.

What upcharged items are totally worth it?

 

[MinnieMeep]

Can anyone answer if club soda/seltzer and/or sparkling water is included? It's pretty much all I drink.
