As an Aussie, I ended up going on the Wonder in late January and I had the time of my life. I really hope we get a permanent ship sometime in the future. All the cast and crew were so lovely, we got to know so many of them from our meal servers to character attendants. My Mum and I had the best time.

I went on the first Aussie cruise and the lines for characters got pretty crazy - but the staff were shocked by the lines too. When we spoke to them sounds like it’s not common in the US as most people have been to the parks, whereas this could be the closest a lot of Aussie families ever get to a Disney park. Also for the price Aussies are paying everyone wants to take home a photo with captain Mickey. We didn’t realise that the tip was included, so we double tipped for coffees, snacks etc 😅 but i would 100% go again, i just hope they iron out some of the issues they had this season as i don’t think they were quite prepared for the Aussie market. Being the first one we had full range of merch but from what I’ve seen by December they’d sold out of a lot of the merch items we had on offer to us.

Now to get to tipping, my mum actually asked the servers how much they made, and she said they made about $50 a month, and that is when I doubled down on the several people I met on the ship that were like 'You don't have to tip!' and the amount of shocked faces I got. Disney should have done their research, yes, but so should the guests, since my previous cruise experience has been to tip on board.

We were on the Wonder from Hawaii to Vancouver after the Australia season. There was a great deal of talk about how many Australians removed or greatly reduced the tips. The tipped positions staff worked for weeks with very little pay and were very discouraged after providing the best service they were able.

My wife and I will be taking the Alaskan cruise from Vancouver this summer. I don’t think many cruise guest realize how the crew is paid. The Disney Wonder is registered in Nassau. This allows for lower operating costs. The crew relies on gratuities from guests . The crew often works 14 or more hours a day with no overtime pay. A guest review can either make or break a crew member. Generosity from guests, allow Disney crew members to make a decent living. The Disney experience has no equal. I think whatever they make is still underpaid for the service you receive.

I never thought about the tipping culture in Australia! Yeah I’d be a bit peeved too if I wasn’t expecting it. The 18% added to bills isn’t just an Australia thing. It’s the same across the whole fleet. But I agree Disney does need to make it more clear to everyone on all ships that the 18% is thrown in by default. I do feel bad for the crew on board in those tipped positions because I can only imagine how many guests removed their gratuities for each sailing. That really hurts the crew. Hopefully Disney addresses this and bumps the overall price of Australia sailings to include gratuities by default. Great video! I was wondering if you were going to take advantage while the Wonder was down under!

I feel terrible for the cast members who got screwed over. The difference here wass the 18% wasn't added after the fact to the bill, but added directly into the pricing without directly saying so anywhere. However when the bill is printed it still has the blank line for a tip and seeing as they didn't tell you it was already built in it was very easy to double tip. We definitely had to take advantage while she was in town, can't beat sailing out of one of the most beautiful port cities in the world!

Surprised to hear about long queues for character interactions. Ease of access has always been noted as a positive by most on Disney cruises. I hate to hear that passengers are removing the automatic daily gratuity. That charge is not a traditional tip or "extra" $$$. It's how the crew are compensated (for better or for worse). I've seen this happen on US based cruises too. Take care of the hard working crew!

I've cruised with Disney a few times. Once from here in the UK, once from Florida and once from San Diego. Like you said, they have to sort the tipping out from the UK just like in Australia as we just don't do it or expect it. In the States yes, keep it as it is as we know it's customary to do. Queues for characters on the UK Cruises are wild but not in the states. Retail merch is the same all over, big queues and they run out very quickly! Best to pre order on the navigator app before boarding. But i do love cruising Disney 😁

Glad you enjoyed your trip. Re the thing about queues for characters and the rush for the shops - these really aren't normal for DCL at all, but we did encounter some of this on the shorter UK cruises we did last year and were surprised. I suspect it's down to people new to DCL and not realising how relatively easy it is to meet characters on board, or assuming that shop stock will sell out. The shops usually keep very well stocked. The only exception we ever found to this was on the Magic At Sea cruises in COVID times where supply chains were disrupted.

I am glad that overall you enjoyed your cruise. We have been on 19 Disney cruises and currently have five more booked (we have two later this month). You are correct, being from the States we are used to tipping and I did not realize how it was in Australia. The complaint that I have about the cruises down under is that they are too short. We are used to longer cruises, seven days or longer (we have been on a 14 day cruise with Disney). I was excited to hear that the Wonder would be heading down, but when I reviewed the itineraries, we were disappointed to see how short that they all were. I do understand that in Australia, people like the shorter quick getaway cruises. I hope that if Disney makes it back down there, they include some longer cruises.

Been on seven Disney cruises (Caribbean and Alaska), some with kids some just as adults. i was interested when I heard Disney was entering the Australian market (and indicators are they expect to be much more active there in the future). Sounds like the first season was fairly successful, though they have some areas to iron out, if history is any indicator they will address these as they become apparent. Their cruises are expensive (though arguably not more so than their US parks) but they don't view themselves as competitors to most of the mainline cruise lines - each person can determine for themselves whether that is appropriate. I have been to Australia twice (most recently in 2022) and while I don't think it is a destination I will cruise in, I am glad to see others enjoy the Disney product.

It was towards the end of the school holidays so there were lots of kids/families on board which meant a lot of the lines were huge, even for the merch - so it sounds like that may not just be an Aus thing. But i do agree that soft drinks should be free across the boat. Makes no sense to have to trek to a different area just to save $4, but i suppose they bank on guests' laziness for that extra cash!

I was on that cruise and the one after it. I really find it hard to imagine going on a cruise for the first time and not doing a bit of research about the details. The information about tipping is clearly stated on the website before you book. Anyone who stiffed the crew by canceling their gratuities claiming they didn’t know about them is being disingenuous at best. There are also plenty of notices about the 18% gratuity on drinks. I don’t know of any cruise line that doesn’t assess gratuities. Expecting a cruise line to change the standard business model of the entire industry because certain countries don’t have that culture is unrealistic. And every cab driver we had while in Australia expected a tip. One even flat out demanded it. So tipping definitely isn’t unheard of in Australia.

Loved this review. We just booked our first disney cruise for October a couple days ago. I am still confused by what u said about the tipping. We have already pre-paid the gratituties. But are u referring to the tipping for anything extra you buy on board, like coffees or alcohol or the beignets or Palo meal. Are you saying you don't need to tip for these extras as they automatically add that to the cost of those extra items? Also, as you had the later seating time for dinner, were you still able to make it for the deck marvel and pirate shows ie what time do these 2 shows start. Finally, im hearing different things regarding the restaurant meals. Some people are saying you can order more than 1 item from the entree/mains/dessert. Whereas most vlogs only show people ordering 1 item from each? Thanks for the thorough review.

There is a per day gratuity that you can prepay and the covers the head waiter, server, assistant server, and stateroom attendant. At the end of the cruise you'll receive envelopes which you can use (or not) to give an additional gratuity to these people; you can also go to Guest Services to add additional money. The double tipping he's referring to is when you buy food or drink that has an additional cost. There is an included tip (I didn't know this my first DCL cruise); you'll see it on the receipt. You can add extra if you like; I usually bring $1 and $5 bills for this. I tipped a bartender extra when he went out of his way to find me a can of root beer when I needed it for a sick stomach (rough seas); I think he had to search bars on three decks.

I am kind of finding the AUS complaint about listing "US dollars" everywhere (which the DCL standard, and the STANDARD for most travel & most cruise lines) instead of pandering to expensively reprint *everything* on board to list "AUS dollars" for a very few cruises, pretty... specious. A cruise is TRAVEL. You EXPECT to see other currencies when travelling. Canadians NEVER see "Canadian dollars" listed. Do we whine? No. Often we don't even see "CDN dollars" listed in our own CANADIAN port cities near ports, it's USD instead. (And no, we are NOT "the same" as the US, only the ignorant say that.) We have multiple Canadian ports DCL & other cruise lines visit or depart from. We can easily take a cruise from Vancouver to Mexico or Panama... and have to calculate costs based on all kinds of other currencies. And? 🤷🏻♀️ Canadians simply learn to do the math. 🤷🏻♀️ Also, AUS passengers maliciously removing tips from tips only staff? That's absolutely REVOLTING, abusive, cheapskate behaviour. NO WONDER the long term, highly skilled DCL staff we know who are regular staff on the Wonder were "taking a break" while the Wonder was in AUS, and no wonder they are *very* anti-AUS sailings. I would be too if I knew a group of certain customers behaved like that, refused to do ANY research, whined about the behaviour of their fellow AUS citizens as if the ship was to blame, and then flat out refused to pay staff but demanded luxury service.

Our "service team" was pushy, obnoxious, and grating. Always pushing for review forms and not once did we get a hot meal, the chicken fingers were hard as a rock, and only ONE of the soda fountains worked completely. Every single one of the shows failed and had to stop due to technical issues and one even was canceled. The ship (Dream) had a busted pipe and flooded the staircase and floor, Had such a bad HVAC in the buffet that the ceiling visibly rattled and was noisy. The cabin crew was so bad, I told them not to come back and took care of my room myself. The 2nd bed was so hard I had to ask for an additional mattress. What I got instead was a smelly, too short piece of foam. The only good food and service we had to pay extra for and that was at Remy and especially Palo. It's not worth the money, when they charge 3 to 6 TIMES the same itinerary from other cruise lines. There were bugs all over the back of the top deck, Items in the room didn't work well and NOBODY came to fix it. Those are just SOME of the issues, there were more. If you're a brain dead pixie duster, then give corporate disney your money. Otherwise, go on another cruise line. You'll get more for your money. If you want REAL luxury, you can go on other lines that REALLY do luxury and will still be less expensive or at worse the same price. If you value your money, STAY AWAY FROM DCL!!!
