They knew when they got on that it was 2 days longer than scheduled. If they couldn’t cover those tips, they shouldn’t have got on. Many people cancelled. I guess you could make that argument for the extra day.,. But yeah, I’m in the boat that if my family got fed and served and cleaned up after for free for an extra day, the $50 in tips is the least I could do!Each passenger probably got a room credit. Those who had to stay longer would not be obligated to pay the tip as they have no choice but to stay on. They shouldn't feel the need either. Lots of people budget for their assigned time and should not have to feel they need to pay something not in the budget. Disney may pick it up but its part of the job. Many companies who **** down on land dont always pay associates either.

If they cancel Disney states they could book a new cruise at prevailing rates. Many people have to plan years in advance for a vacation and budget. The company should be the one to pick up the extra and not the passengers.They knew when they got on that it was 2 days longer than scheduled.

Some people budget very tightly for vacations.
In my experience (used to work at the Disney Store in Times Square), Disney will do the right thing by them.
In that case, the extra day(s) of free food that they otherwise would have had to purchase themselves on land should provide room in the budget for extra tips. Having said that, I would expect that Disney would pick up the tab for the extra tips and not leave either the guests or the crew in a lurch.
Here's another question: what about the day of Sept 5, where the Dream is currently anticipated to be in port in Port Canaveral with no passengers? I would imagine that when the guests disembark, the ship will be prepared for the next sailing on the regular schedule, and then the crew will essentially have a day off. Although I'm sure that having a day off when such almost never occurs during a contract will be most appreciated, many of them have families that rely on their income back home. Will Disney provide the standard tip to everyone that day, even though there are no passengers on board?
That reminds me of a woman who posted about her & her husband's WDW experience during hurricane season a few years ago. Flight cancellations forced them to stay an extra couple of days, and they had to IOU Disney the payment because they had no other way of paying for a couple of extra nights. No space in their bank account, no credit cards, nada. A lot of people commented that they should have been financially prepared for the uncertainties of travel, especially with a forecasted hurricane (which was no surprise to the OP when leaving home). Naturally, the OP was hurt & offended by the comments...Anyone who budgets that tightly for a cruise, especially in hurricane season shouldn’t be cruising.
I wish I had no choice but to sail a few extra days on a Disney cruise! I'd gladly pay the extra gratuities in exchange for free extra nights. They got the deal of the year!Those who had to stay longer would not be obligated to pay the tip as they have no choice but to stay on.
