Ahoy, Kim and congratulations on your first cruise as a SILVER Castaway Club Member!
I'm so glad you have decided to enjoy another magical vacation aboard Disney Cruise Line! Linking your reservations together will allow you to book port adventures and onboard fun for them and you, but if this is their first cruise, you will have to wait until their booking window opens up 75 days prior to departure. Silver Castaway Club members are allowed to book at 90 days as long as the cruise is paid in full. To complete their online check-in, you'll need their confirmation number, passport information (identification number, expiration date and country issued), flight information (if applicable) and a credit number and expiration date for their onboard account.
Once your window opens up to book your onboard fun, you will see when the special character meet and greet experiences (Princess Gathering) will be offered. Since you'll be onboard for 14 days, there will be plenty of opportunities to see your favorite Disney Characters. On the longer itineraries, Disney Cruise Line typically plans some special productions, rarely seen movies on the big screen, more Guest performers than a seven-night and Guest presenters. Your Personal Navigator will have all the information you need to enjoy your days at sea. I also recommend downloading the free
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to have access to the events, menus and deck plans once you are onboard. It also has a texting feature for others in your group with the app. It is for Apple or Android devices and can be used on the ship's Wi-Fi for free while the device is in airplane mode. It does not work until you are on the ship, but displays a countdown for your sailing as you wait for the magical day to arrive!
Thank you for stopping by to "sea" us, Kim! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
