With this release, we’ve fixed bugs and improved overall app performance to ensure smooth sailing through and through. Once you’re aboard the ship, you’ll have access to additional features when connected to the free Wi-Fi (free when used only for the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app). The app is equipped with a chat feature that will allow you to communicate with Cast Members. Using this feature, you can talk to Cast Members from multiple divisions, including Guest Services, Port Adventures, and the Dining team — right from your stateroom. Being able to communicate directly with a Cast Member through the app can be very helpful if you’re in the middle of your vacation and a need has arisen.

Once your cruise is paid in full and your booking window opens – based upon your Castaway Club stats – you can explore and reserve activities such as adults-only dining experiences. The developer, Disney, indicated that the app’s privacy practices may include handling of data as described below. For more information, see the developer's privacy policy.

Scheduled Ports of Call

And, since you’ll access the app from the onboard WiFi, you do not need to buy an internet package to use the app or any of its features. It's easy to see all the activities happening on the ship—including when they start and where to go—as well as the scheduled activities during your day on Castaway Cay. You can filter activities by age group, so kids, 'tweens and teens can make sure they don't miss any of the fun events at the Oceaneer Lab, Oceaneer Club, Edge, or Vibe.

Ratings and Reviews

I’d like to thank Steve and Amy Hoffman for taking the time to capture screenshots of this newer feature. I say newer as it was added in a September 2014 app update. The iOS app will download over cellular, but it is still about ~25mb. You can click the little pencil to the right of your name to change how it is shown in chat — not only on your screen but for those you are chatting with as well. Having your kids change their screen names can be a good way to keep some privacy for your family as they accumulate a long list of chat friends in Edge and Vibe.

We are aware that 2 members of the same party (same room) were able to use the APP to get in the queue at the same thus ensuring 2 pool times when we couldn’t get one. We also tried to get into the main show but it was fully booked. Again I am aware of at least one party who saw the show twice. But as I said we did have a wonderful time , the staff were excellent and the food was delicious. Or you can lose the paper and personalize your trip on your smartphone with the help of the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. It's available for free for iPhone and Android, and it's a great way to organize your time and make sure you don't miss a thing.

You can also use the app before your cruise to add ground transportation or flight details to have all of your travel in one convenient location. On the Explore tab, the Dining & Lounges slider section shows you hours for all the dining venues. You can see which rotational restaurant is serving lunch, and what time Cabanas is open. Just for you, you can see your rotational dining assignment on the Home screen or the Your Plans tab, and you can click to bring up the menu. Want to see your dining schedule for the whole cruise? Clicking Today’s Itinerary on the Home Screen gives you the big picture – weather, what the ship is doing that day, etc.

But one thing that can be frustrating is that this doesn’t always work properly. If you’re waiting for someone to contact you, it might be a good idea to launch the chat and check every now and then. You’ll get notifications 15 minutes in advance for everything on Your Plans, which I find helpful when I’m lying on deck and not paying attention to the time.

The paper version of the "Personal Navigator" gives you a full day's schedule, but it's not available until the night before. You'll find the next day's "Personal Navigator" in your stateroom when you return in the evening after dinner. The backpack features a top carry handle and padded, adjustable straps. At the bottom right is the drawing of Simba done by Rafiki in the film. And if you’re trying to figure out where you need to be on the ship, you can use the handy ship map in the Navigator so you can get where you’re going easily. Have you had the opportunity to use the Onboard Chat feature?

No need to use the onboard 'cell phones' provided to each stateroom. You can create your own groups and stay in touch with all the family on the ship. It also keeps activity schedules up to date but you need to get out of the app completely and then open it again.

If you logged into the Navigator app while you were still ashore, once on board you’ll find looks very different. On land, you log in to the app with the same credentials you use on the Disney Cruise Line website, but on board, you won’t log in at all. This allows everyone in your group to use the app whether they have a website login or not.

If it’s a port day this is where you’ll find the All Ashore and All Aboard times, as well as information about Emergency Contacts and the Ship’s Agent if you have a problem when you’re ashore. If you’re going ashore, I recommend taking a screenshot of the Contact Information screen to guarantee you have access to these numbers no matter what the internet situation is. Although the text says link your stateroom, you’re really setting up the app for an individual user. If you and your partner (or kids) link to the same stateroom number, you’ll have different chat IDs based on the personal information you gave.

Finally, the little ship on the top left can be used to access deck plans. We did attempt to get her to rest in the afternoon but to no avail. Thank you for your professionalism and more importantly your friendliness. One helpful feature you’ll want to utilize in the Navigator App is the ability to participate in the Mandatory Emergency Drill, or Muster Drill, before you set sail. Just have a member of your party go to your assigned designated onboard Assembly Station and check in with a crew member. This is a welcome change compared to waiting for everyone to arrive and check in before the drill could begin, especially if it was located on deck.

As soon as you book your cruise, you’ll see a countdown to your sailing, featuring Disney characters. You’ll also have access to helpful features to manage your cruise, make payments, view and modify your stateroom, and view deck plans. The rest of the ship’s daily activities – crafts, trivia, etc. – will be found in the Explore screen. Tap the heart to add any activity so that it appears in the Your Plans tab. A Disney Cruise is a magical experience for Disney fans of all ages. What better way to sail the high seas than with your favorite Disney characters?

For more information, see the developer’s privacy policy. Florida Department of Children and Families intervened to take custody of the 5-year-old and 3-year-old since there were no other family or friends nearby, their arrest report said. Thank you for a wonderful first time cruise experience. It is our goal to make every vacation experience for every guest an experience of a lifetime. The chat window looks very similar to most smartphone text message apps where the messages are timestamped. Swiping left on a chat thread offers different options for individual or group chats.

The Disney Cruise Line Navigator App is essential when you’re on board the ship, as there is no paper listing of daily events. From home before your cruise, it works like an app version of the Disney Cruise Line website. But once you get on board, you’ll see a whole new look and the app will be your connection to events and information while you’re sailing. Several years ago we used this app on our first Disney cruise but it is greatly improved.
