Welcome to planDisney, Adam! I hope you are getting excited for your upcoming Disney Cruise Line vacation. It is just around the river bend!
iMessage to iMessage texts should work on the complimentary
DCL-GUEST wireless network on your kids' iPhone. Just know that onboard internet service may be slow or interrupted because of satellite connectivity. During one of my cruises, it didn't work for my son and me when we both tried to use iMessage to communicate. If you have any questions while onboard, you can visit
Guest Services. They have helped me with connecting when I couldn't troubleshoot the issues myself.
If you or other Guests in your traveling party have the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app on their phones, make sure you have the latest update. Once you are onboard and connected, the onboard activities will be listed in the app. I like to favorite activities I am interested in attending so I get a 15-minute reminder. Many times, you will need to arrive early to
secure a good seat or
take a picture with your favorite Disney character.
Adam, I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, sail back to
planDisney. You have a friend in us!
