Welcome to planDisney Jon!
Each person in your travel crew will want to have the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app downloaded on their phone. Once onboard the beautiful
Disney Magic, they will log in and with their cruise reservation number and birthday. You will then be connected and will be able to set-up the CHAT feature to text each other onboard.
To use imessage, both the DCL guest and the person they are texting back on land must have imessage enabled. Turn your device to airplane mode, turn wifi on, and select DCL-Guest. This will allow messages to be sent and received but please note this is text only, photos or videos will not send with this option.
If anyone in your travel party needs
internet services, you may purchase a package once onboard. Your options and pricing will be available on your Navigator app. Choose the package that suits your needs. I can get by without buying internet and simply text home. However, an internet package will be needed if you plan to check your email or post to social media sites.
I hope you and your travel crew have a MAGICal cruise where WISHes and DREAMs come true!
