Overview
- Multiple passenger posts and trade outlets reported on Thursday and Friday that the Disney Adventure will begin charging a $5 delivery fee plus an automatic 18% gratuity for room‑service orders, but Disney has not confirmed the change.
- Reports say breakfast orders placed with door‑hanger forms and guests booked in concierge accommodations would be exempt from the fee.
- Passengers described room‑service waits of an hour or more and a shortage of delivery crew as the immediate reason for the reported new charge.
- If implemented, the fee would be the first time a Disney Cruise Line ship has charged for room service, arriving while the Adventure continues to experience early operational problems such as a canceled voyage, pulled entertainment, meet‑and‑greet disruptions, and bedding complaints.
- The company’s silence leaves uncertainty about whether the change will be formally announced, how it will affect guest bills, and whether the charge could be tested on other ships, so look for an official Disney statement and updates from guests on upcoming sailings.
