Hi, Nicole! Thank you for reaching out to planDisney.
It won't be long before you are welcomed aboard the Disney Wish! How exciting! Staying connected with your loved ones back home has never been easier. I’m happy to share a few ways I keep in touch with my sister and our dog sitter on our cruises.
If you have an iPhone, you can send and receive iMessages. Another popular choice is WhatsApp, which I use for updates on my dog. While you can text back and forth, keep in mind that you can’t view videos or pictures until you connect to cell service. I also recommend checking with your cell phone provider. Some plans include international service or offer cruise packages. I hope one of these options works for you!
As far as staying in contact with your travel party, the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app has a built-in chat feature, complete with dozens of Disney emojis, to add that extra touch of magic to your messages. The app is a fantastic resource for staying informed about all the onboard activities during your voyage. From character meet-and-greets to live shows and deck parties, you'll have everything at your fingertips. What's more, you can even save your favorite activities to a convenient list, ensuring you never miss out on the experiences that matter most to you and your crew.
Speaking of fun things to do onboard, or rather grownup fun, if you’re looking for a sweet drink, stop by
Nightingale’s. This piano bar was inspired by Cinderella’s rendition of “Sing Sweet Nightingale,” which is also the name of their signature cocktail. I loved the Chocolate Frozen Bubble. The drink arrives in a frozen bubble that you can crack open with a tiny hammer! It’s a unique and unforgettable experience.
I wish you smooth sailing ahead! If you have any additional questions, please stop by again.
SEAS the adventure!
