Best of all, everyone in your family can download the app and personalize their own shipboard experiences. You can also request to change your dining time, if spots are available, or manage travel options such as ground transportation and flights. And not only can you talk with Cast Members, you can also use the chat feature to communicate with members of your own group. You can set up chats between yourself and another member of your party, or even set up group chats with your entire group! This is especially useful if you have chosen not to purchase the WiFi package onboard. To get alerts when someone messages you, make sure that your phone is set to allow notifications from the app.

This is the Most Expensive Stateroom You Can Book on a Disney Cruise

Although it took three visits for the Disney bug to "take", she now really wishes she lived a lot closer to the Parks. If you’ve texted on your phone before, you can use the chat in the Navigator, but there are a few things that are worth a callout. First, people in your cabin will automatically be shown in your chat list. You’ll need to supply them with your Chat ID, visible above your name, in order to get the conversation going.

One of the latest components added to the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App is an Onboard Chat feature. The Onboard Chat allows guest to easily communicate with free text messages with other guests currently sailing on the ship using a unique Chat Number. The Chat Number provides a level of privacy in the event you choose to share your number with a new friend you meet onboard. Unlike with Wave Phone where you basically shared your room number and the handset number you would just share a unique ID with anyone you would like to text with during the cruise.

It would be far easier than having to go to Member Services to check what was on their final bill. Would be handy and could help Member Services cast members cut down on the volume of calls and visits to their area for information.The app worked great but there are always ways to improve. When you first open the Explore tab, there are a few settings that you’ll want to be aware of. By default, activities are shown for the current date, but tapping the Date allows you to switch and see activities for a different day. The Filter lets you select activities based on specific criteria like age range or activity type. And the left-right slider that starts with “Daily Activities” lets you quickly move back and forth between specific venues.

Disney Cruise Line Navigator App Updated with New Features Ahead of Test Cruise and UK Staycations

Keeping tabs on kids is a snap with the chat function, which lets you send and receive text messages with the family members in your stateroom. One advantage of the Navigator app is that it gives you an overview of all the events for the entire cruise, so you can jump ahead and see what's coming up. Since it gives you the big picture of all your options—a movie that will be screened multiple times on the same cruise, for example—it's great for those of us who like to plan ahead. A number of the items added in this update were announced back in April when Disney Cruise Line published Important Information for 2021 UK Staycations. It lists all activities and events and it even sends u reminders for ur favourites.

No worries — look on the bottom right for “More” and select it, then choose “Help”, then “About this app”. You’ll see a link to reset the app, after which you can relink it correctly. Any activities that you've saved by clicking the heart icon will be stored in a handy personalized schedule. If you change your mind later, just deselect the heart and the activity will be removed from your schedule. When you see an activity or event you like, simply select the heart icon and it will be saved into your personal schedule. Everyone in the family with a smartphone can select their own don't-miss activities and keep his or her own personal schedule.

You can book things like Port Adventures (which is what Disney calls excursions at each port), plus activities onboard the ship like tasting seminars and mixology classes! You can also check the schedules for movies happening at the ship’s theaters or at Funnel Vision screen on the pool deck. Have used a number of Disney apps over the years but had only recently had the opportunity to use the Cruise Line app. While on board ship, the app provided easy to access information with regards to our dining plan and activities itinerary, giving you notifications 15 minutes before each event.

The Navigator app lets you know where each character has scheduled appearances with an official Disney photographer. You are always free to take personal photos, so don't forget your camera. We’re getting ready to set sail on our newest adventure with DCL Magazine! Our team is doing research, preparing layouts and capturing stunning photos of the entire fleet as we work towards launching our next magazine, dedicated to celebrating Disney Cruise Line. For the latest Disney Parks news and info, follow WDW News Today on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Janine did not have an attorney listed in court records but Robert did.

The chat feature of the Navigator app is accessed by tapping the little chat bubble that is visible on many (but not all) screens. If you have new messages, the bubble will have a red dot and a number to show how many new messages you have. If you don’t see the chat bubble, make sure you are on one of the four main screens (Home, Explore, My Plans, or More) and are scrolled all the way to the top of the screen.

For chats with individuals, you’ll have the option to block the contact, and for a group chat, you’ll have the option to leave the group. In both chat types, you can clear the previous messages (while still leaving the conversation in place), or get more details about participants. Did one of your kids accidentally link on their phone using your info, and now their phone thinks they’re you in the chat?

Now there are two ways to stay on top of what's happening on the ship. Every day of your cruise, the paper "Personal Navigator" gives you a stem-to-stern rundown of special events and parties, youth and adult activities, character appearances, and entertainment. The Onboard Chat is an easy way to connect with friends, family, and Crew Members – including Guest Services – all from within the app. You can also view restaurant information such as locations, menus, and your table number. Check out the in-room dining menu right from the app for a sweet treat.

The couple claimed they hadn’t fought, but the children told law enforcement what happened. Their parents had been drinking all day and then got into an argument about Robert not spending enough time with the family. One little girl said her father hit her mother “several times in the face with an open hand,” the arrest report said. There are also exclusive dining experiences onboard the Wish, including some that are adults-only, for example Enchanté, the Beauty and the Beast restaurant on the Disney Wish is adults-only. You can use the Navigator app to book any of these experiences. Also in the app you can view the menus for each of the restaurants before you head there, and you can event take a look at what the Drinks of the Day are at the various lounges onboard the ship.

You can still use an iPhone without cellular service (basically, it becomes an iPod Touch) to connect to the ship’s wifi and make use of the app. The last morning of your cruise can be hectic if you're not organized. The Navigator app gives all the need-to-know info for debarkation day, from packing tips to necessary documentation and post-cruise transportation options.

The last night of our cruise they got the okay to show the new Beauty and the Beast movie the night before it was to open in theaters. Two suggestions for possible improvements are 1) have the app actual give some kind of sound indication if you receive a text message. 2) have an additional financial part to be able to see what extras you have added to your trip and the financial responsibility for those additions.

Additionally, at this time, the Onboard Chat is limited to the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. Jennifer has a background in math and biology, so she ended up in Data Science where she gets to do both. She lives just north of Boston with her husband, kids, and assorted animal members of the family.
