Hi Karen,
Welcome to planDisney! I'm glad you sailed by with your question. Staying connected during your cruise is super easy on Disney Cruise Line!
You have several options when it comes to internet packages, depending on your needs. Let's take a look (keep in mind terms, prices, and availability may change):
- The Stay Connected package allows you to connect to social media, including sharing photos. This package is $18 per day for one day or $16 per day if purchased for your entire sailing.
- The Basic Surf package also includes the ability to browse the internet (including making internet voice mails) and check email. This package is $28 per day for one day or $24 per day for your entire voyage.
- The Premium Surf package includes all the above features plus faster connection speeds for streaming short videos, playing music, and making video calls. Streaming from services such as Netflix and Hulu is not permitted. The package is $42 per day for one day or $34 per day for your entire cruise.
To purchase an internet package, open your
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app when you board the ship. Select "Connect to Internet" and a webpage will open with the information you need to make your purchase. Your internet package will be billed to your stateroom folio.
If you simply want to send an iMessage or messages using WhatsApp,
connect to the complimentary onboard Wi-Fi. It is a super convenient way to stay in touch with friends and family. To connect to Wi-Fi, open your Disney Cruise Line Navigator app when you board the ship and follow the prompts to connect. Be sure to put your phone in Airplane Mode (with your Wi-Fi on) so you don't incur
cellular network data charges.
While you have your Navigator app handy, don't forget to peruse the activities and entertainment offered on your cruise. When you find something you don't want to miss, select the heart icon next to it and the app will send you a reminder before the event begins!
Let us know if you have other questions, Karen! We are happy to help!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Shannon
