Hello, Tiffany! Thank you for cruising by with your question.
Yippee! You must be getting ready for a Disney Cruise Line vacation if you’re asking about the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. The app is a helpful resource, for sure! Let’s talk tech.
First, make sure the app is downloaded to your junior sailors' mobile devices. They do not need a Disney Cruise Line account. On embarkation day, the app transforms for everyone once you’re connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi. Each Guest will be prompted to link their stateroom. Once linked, your children can access the onboard activities and the chat feature.
For safety, Guests under the age of 13 may only use the chat function by obtaining a unique pin from the Primary Guest in the stateroom. This is usually the name of the first person on the reservation. Tap the child’s name in the app on a grownup's phone to obtain the pin. Your kids can then enter this pin on their app and start chatting.
Keep in mind that the Wi-Fi on
Disney Castaway Cay can be spotty. If your kids are going off on their own, I recommend having a meeting time and location planned as a backup. I hope this information helps, Tiffany. One of my favorite app features is the ability to see all the activities planned for the entire cruise. You can favorite activities and will receive a push notification about 15 minutes before the fun is about to begin.
I hope you have a fantastic vacation! If we can help you with anything else, please don't hesitate to ask!
SEAS the adventure!
