Disney Cruise Line Quietly Raises Onboard Wi‑Fi Prices for 2026 Sailings

Overview

• Standard internet now costs $30 per day, up from $26, and Premium Surfing & Streaming is $49, up from $42, increases of roughly 15% and 17% for a single device.
• The change was applied without advance warning, according to Cruise Hive and passenger accounts, and Disney Cruise Line has not issued a public comment.
• Plans are priced per device with no multi‑device discounts, and only one device can be connected at a time even if guests switch logins.
• The updated pricing is reported to exceed similar internet packages on several other cruise lines, particularly for streaming‑level access.
• The internet hike follows higher recommended gratuities introduced in 2025 ($16 per person nightly in standard rooms and $27.25 in concierge) and Hawaii’s new 14% dockside tax effective January 1, as the fleet grows with Disney Destiny’s November debut, Disney Adventure’s service now expected in March, and a Japan‑based Wish‑class ship ordered by Oriental Land Company for 2029.
