Disney cruise App

Good App to use, would be good if there was more info about events and the likes of having to be in ques within a certain amount of time. Also serious lagging when you are on the cruise itself

Step-By-Step: How to Use Disney Cruise Line Navigator on Board

The Disney Cruise Line Navigator App is essential when you’re on board the ship, as there is no paper listing of daily events. From home before your cruise, it works like an app version of the Disney Cruise Line website. But once you get on board, you’ll see a whole new look and the app will be your connection to events and information while you’re sailing.

Since you can’t take a spin through the on-board version until you’re, well, on board, take a spin through the overview below. We’ll cover everything from the basics to some pro tips that might even leave your tech-savvy kids asking “Whoa, how did you do that?” By the time you sail, you’ll be an old hand at finding the information you want fast . ( Last updated/republished June 2, 2023.)

Tap any heading below to go directly to that section, and click on any image to enlarge it.

Getting Connected Getting Oriented Making Plans – Where to Find What Dining Information in DCL Navigator Using the DCL Navigator Chat Miscellaneous

Getting Connected

If you logged into the Navigator app while you were still ashore, once on board you’ll find looks very different. On land, you log in to the app with the same credentials you use on the Disney Cruise Line website, but on board, you won’t log in at all. Instead, you’ll link your stateroom. This allows everyone in your group to use the app whether they have a website login or not. And, since you’ll access the app from the onboard WiFi, you do not need to buy an internet package to use the app or any of its features.

The steps to link your stateroom below may vary a bit depending on whether you’ve logged into the app from land or not. The screenshots below should be typical if not exact. Start by connecting to the DCL Guest WiFi once you’re on board, then open the app. Tap “Link Your Stateroom”, then fill out the information and “Proceed”.

Although the text says link your  stateroom , you’re really setting up the app for an individual user. If you and your partner (or kids) link to the same stateroom number, you’ll have different chat IDs based on the personal information you gave.

Did one of your kids accidentally link on their phone using your info, and now their phone thinks they’re you in the chat?  No worries — look on the bottom right for “More” and select it, then choose “Help”, then “About this app”.  You’ll see a link to reset the app, after which you can relink it correctly.

Getting Oriented

Want to know where you’re having dinner? The app. What the schedule is in the movie theater? The app. How will you contact your teenagers and tell them you’ll be out of reach in the Rainforest Room? The app. So it’s important to know how to find your way around quickly.

When you first open the app, you’ll be on the Home Screen. How do you know it’s the Home Screen?  On the bottom of the screen is a menu bar; the icons light up to indicate which area you’re currently using. If you’ve used any of Disney’s parks apps such as My Disney Experience or the Disneyland app, this interface will feel a little familiar. Here’s what you’ll find when tapping any of these icons:

• Home: rapid access to the first few items in your plans, plus the day’s itinerary information for the ship
• Explore: all the available activities — we’ll dive into this tab in detail later on.
• Add Plans:  The big plus sign is a shortcut to activities you need to pre-book.
• My Plans: This is the full blow-by-blow of everything in — you guessed it — your plans.  See your whole trip in one place.
• More: Access to a variety of miscellaneous features: view your bill, muster information, etc.

Making Plans – Where to Find What

Today’s ship information.

Clicking Today’s Itinerary on the Home Screen gives you the big picture – weather, what the ship is doing that day, etc. If it’s a port day this is where you’ll find the All Ashore and All Aboard times, as well as information about Emergency Contacts and the Ship’s Agent if you have a problem when you’re ashore. If you’re going ashore, I recommend taking a screenshot of the Contact Information screen to guarantee you have access to these numbers no matter what the internet situation is.

Your Personal Plans

The “My Plans” screen is the way to see all of your plans for the day (or for other days). When you first board, you’ll see three kinds of activities in Your Plans. You’ll always see your assigned dining rotation for the day. You’ll also see anything you pre-booked or reserved such as specialty dining or port adventures. And, “Signature Events” – usually the ship’s evening stage shows – will be added automatically, but can be removed if you don’t want to include them.

The rest of the ship’s daily activities – crafts, trivia, etc. – will be found in the Explore screen. Tap the heart to add any activity so that it appears in the Your Plans tab. Want to take it off later when reviewing your plans? Just tap again to unselect it.  These favorites are specific to you, so if some family members are excited about the midnight movie and others are more interested in Rise ‘n’ Shine Yoga, everyone will see only the things they’ve added.

You’ll get notifications 15 minutes in advance for everything on Your Plans, which I find helpful when I’m lying on deck and not paying attention to the time. I tend to add almost anything from the Explore screen that I might be interested in to my plans, because I find that I spend less time on my phone if I add a bunch of stuff in one burst in the morning and then just ignore anything I decide not to do.

Finding Activities With The Explore Screen

Here’s what you need to know to use this section like a pro. First, many roads lead to Rome. Want to see movie schedules? There are at least four different ways to access them. Disney has worked hard to expose a lot of information so don’t be afraid to tap, tap, tap.

When you first open the Explore tab, there are a few settings that you’ll want to be aware of. By default, activities are shown for the current date, but tapping the Date allows you to switch and see activities for a different day. The Filter lets you select activities based on specific criteria like age range or activity type. And the left-right slider that starts with “Daily Activities” lets you quickly move back and forth between specific venues. Finally, the little ship on the top left can be used to access deck plans.

Dining information is found all over the app.  On the Explore tab, the Dining & Lounges slider section shows you hours for all the dining venues.  You can see which rotational restaurant is serving lunch, and what time Cabanas is open. Clicking any eatery brings up the menu. Just for you, you can see your rotational dining assignment on the Home screen or the Your Plans tab, and you can click to bring up the menu.  Want to see your dining schedule for the whole cruise? You’ll find that on the More tab.

The chat feature of the Navigator app is accessed by tapping the little chat bubble that is visible on many (but not all) screens. If you have new messages, the bubble will have a red dot and a number to show how many new messages you have. If you don’t see the chat bubble, make sure you are on one of the four main screens (Home, Explore, My Plans, or More) and are scrolled all the way to the top of the screen.

If you’ve texted on your phone before, you can use the chat in the Navigator, but there are a few things that are worth a callout. First, people in your cabin will automatically be shown in your chat list.  Want to talk to anyone else?  You’ll need to supply them with your Chat ID, visible above your name, in order to get the conversation going.

You can click the little pencil to the right of your name to change how it is shown in chat — not only on your screen but for those you are chatting with as well. Having your kids change their screen names can be a good way to keep some privacy for your family as they accumulate a long list of chat friends in Edge and Vibe. (Changes are retroactive).

If you don’t care about whether or not your kids change their screen names, you can still count coup on them by changing yours before they do theirs. Who says parents can’t be tech-savvy?

To get alerts when someone messages you, make sure that your phone is set to allow notifications from the app. But one thing that can be frustrating is that this doesn’t always work properly. If you’re waiting for someone to contact you, it might be a good idea to launch the chat and check every now and then.

Swiping left on a chat thread offers different options for individual or group chats. For chats with individuals, you’ll have the option to block the contact, and for a group chat, you’ll have the option to leave the group. In both chat types, you can clear the previous messages (while still leaving the conversation in place), or get more details about participants.

Last but not least, if you had a pop-up message when you first opened Navigator for the day and dismissed it, you can still find it here by switching from Conversations to Notifications.

Miscellaneous

Here’s a quick list of where to find …

• Your account balance: More tab, then My Charges (you can also download a copy of your Folio online after your cruise).
• Change your purchasing pin: More tab, then My Account; you may need to visit Guest Services to do this in person
• Book a placeholder cruise: you can do this two ways (because Disney is always happy to take your booking for a future cruise).  Either begin from the Home screen, just under the ship image, or from the More screen: 10% off a future cruise.
• Weather: Tap Today’s Itinerary from the Home Screen
• Your full dining rotation: More screen, then Dining Schedule
• Your muster station: More screen, then Emergency Assembly Station; you can also find this on your Key to the World card.

Jennifer has a background in math and biology, so she ended up in Data Science where she gets to do both. She lives just north of Boston with her husband, kids, and assorted animal members of the family. Although it took three visits for the Disney bug to "take", she now really wishes she lived a lot closer to the Parks.

9 thoughts on “ Step-By-Step: How to Use Disney Cruise Line Navigator on Board ”

What a fantastic tool, I really appreciate it, Jennifer. This will be our first Disney Cruise Line vacation, so I’m looking forward to impressing the kids.

Jennifer Heymont, thank you for the information. While onboard, is there the best way to record the DCL Navigator pages for each day? Is there a way for DCL Guest Services to print the same information? I’ve seen another website called disney cruise blog post hard copies and phone-recorded copies of the ship’s daily navigators. I prefer reading their hard copy. Any suggestions?

Hi Ray, the printed Navigators that you’ve seen copies of on other blogs had already started to be phased out before COVID; they were still available on request but no longer delivered automatically. When sailings returned after a year+ hiatus during COVID, printed Navigators were not offered at all. As recently as September of last year, Disney’s official answer is that there is no printed schedule and you should use the app. ( https://plandisney.disney.go.com/question/hard-copies-daily-navigator-brought-back-found-app-518562/ ). But I have heard that guests are sometimes able to have Guest Services print out a schedule for them. This may depend on how busy they are, etc., etc. – your mileage may vary.

One thing I can suggest: when we sailed with a printed Navigator we never carried it with us, just used it in the room to plan our day. That’s actually one thing I prefer with the app, that I can always have it with me without “taking it away” from anyone else in my family who might want to use it. If you’re comfortable in this “room only resource” mode and you have an iPad or other tablet, the app displays a lot more information per screen on those devices (just because they’re larger) and sometimes it’s easier to use. The downside is that you can only be logged in on one device at a time; if you sign in to the app on an iPad it will log you out on the phone – or at least, that’s what happened to me when I tried it.

What an awesome resource, thank you Jennifer! First time DCL cruising family and I love the idea of showing off to the kids when we get on board, LOL.

Just a question – can we view our photos taken on the app too? For the package?

Hi Melissa, here’s hoping your kids are suitably impressed! 🙂

To answer your question, no – at least not when I was last on board. I’m not sure when your cruise is, but our cruise expert Erin may have an article coming out in the next few months on what you need to know about the DCL onboard photos. Whether or not you see it before you go, have a great trip!

Is it possible to use the app without paying for any internet service at all and yet have access to all of its features?

Hello, you’ll be connected to the DCL Guest WiFi, which is like a little mini-network that belongs to the ship. The WiFi network can connect to the internet, but you don’t need to. The app runs on the WiFi, which means that you don’t need to access the internet to use it, and as far as I’m aware there are no paid features in the app. Once you’ve paid to get on the ship, you’re good to go!

Can you access all of the app features without paying for any internet?

Hi Laura – yes, you can. I’ll put that in the post, actually, thanks for flagging that!

Disney Cruise Navigator App: Everything You Need to Know

by Eric Freilich | Jan 8, 2024 | Disney Cruise Line

Here’s your guide to using the Disney Cruise Navigator app before you embark.

A Disney Cruise is a magical experience for Disney fans of all ages. What better way to sail the high seas than with your favorite Disney characters? There’s a lot to ‘“sea” and do onboard, and the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app can help you plan and manage your trip, explore offerings on the ship, and stay in touch with your family and friends.

We’ve used the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App on every one of our sailings, and while some features have changed over the years, the app is still a useful – and essential! – tool for cruisers to make sure you don’t miss out on a moment of fun. You’ll rely on the Navigator App before and during your cruise, so you’ll want to get familiar with it well before you actually set sail. Below, we’ve got your guide to using and perusing the app!

Attraction Issue Bundle

Attraction special – haunted mansion, attraction special – jungle cruise, attraction special – pirates of the caribbean, using the disney cruise navigator app before your cruise.

To start using the Disney Cruise Navigator app, download it from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) and create a login – or log in with your existing Disney account.

The Disney Cruise Navigator app offers helpful features before your cruise.

As soon as you book your cruise, you’ll see a countdown to your sailing, featuring Disney characters. You’ll also have access to helpful features to manage your cruise, make payments, view and modify your stateroom, and view deck plans.

You can also request to change your dining time, if spots are available, or manage travel options such as ground transportation and flights.

Add your reservation to the DCL Navigator app.

Once your cruise is paid in full and your booking window opens – based upon your Castaway Club stats – you can explore and reserve activities such as adults-only dining experiences .

Using the Disney Cruise Navigator App During Your Cruise

Once you’re aboard the ship, you’ll have access to additional features when connected to the free Wi-Fi ( free when used only for the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app).

Wi-Fi is free when using the app aboard the ship.

The Onboard Chat is an easy way to connect with friends, family, and Crew Members – including Guest Services – all from within the app. You can also view restaurant information such as locations, menus, and your table number. Want to skip a meal to relax in your room? Check out the in-room dining menu right from the app for a sweet treat .

One helpful feature you’ll want to utilize in the Navigator App is the ability to participate in the Mandatory Emergency Drill , or Muster Drill, before you set sail. Just have a member of your party go to your assigned designated onboard Assembly Station and check in with a crew member. This is a welcome change compared to waiting for everyone to arrive and check in before the drill could begin, especially if it was located on deck.

Other features include the ability to review the daily entertainment schedule – you’ll find the details for shows, fireworks, activities, Port Adventures, and character locations – and set reminders so you don’t miss out on a moment of fun .

You can also keep tabs on your onboard account so there aren’t any surprises on your last day as you prepare for debarkation .

The Navigator app is really intuitive

Tips for Using the Disney Cruise Navigator App

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App:

• Bring a phone charger—or two! You’ll want to keep the app open to receive notifications and reminders. Having a portable charger to carry with you through the day can be a big help; just remember to charge it each night.
• Make sure you’re connected to the Wi-Fi . You don’t have to purchase an internet plan to use the app, though you will need to pay for Wi-Fi if you intend to work on vacation (boo!) or immediately share photos of your dinner on the ‘Gram.
• Check for app and software updates before you sail. You won’t want to use part of your paid internet plan to download them during your cruise.
• Review the app and the Disney Cruise Line Website before you sail for the latest information on availability and features.

The Disney Cruise Navigator App is a must-have when sailing on a Disney Cruise . From ship to shore, it’s the perfect companion for your adventure on the high seas. Learn more about what you can expect when you set sail aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship and keep reading:

Download the Disney Cruise Navigator App

Tripsavvy / Suzanne Rowan Kelleher 

Taking a Disney Cruise ? Now there are two ways to stay on top of what's happening on the ship. Every day of your cruise, the paper "Personal Navigator" gives you a stem-to-stern rundown of special events and parties, youth and adult activities, character appearances, and entertainment. 

Or you can lose the paper and personalize your trip on your smartphone with the help of the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. It's available for free for iPhone and Android, and it's a great way to organize your time and make sure you don't miss a thing. Best of all, everyone in your family can download the app and personalize their own shipboard experiences. 

How to Get Started

• Download the app from the Apple App Store for iPhone or Google Play for Android.
• Once onboard, go into your phone's settings and turn on Airplane Mode. This is a smart move even if you don't use the app, because it will turn off your data so you're not smacked with an expensive wireless bill when you get back from your trip.
• Connect to wi-fi on the DCL-GUEST network.
• Now you're ready to go. The app is free and only works on the Disney cruise ship.

Keep a Daytimer for Your Disney Cruise

The paper version of the "Personal Navigator" gives you a full day's schedule, but it's not available until the night before. You'll find the next day's "Personal Navigator" in your stateroom when you return in the evening after dinner. 

One advantage of the Navigator app is that it gives you an overview of all the events for the entire cruise, so you can jump ahead and see what's coming up. Since it gives you the big picture of all your options—a movie that will be screened multiple times on the same cruise, for example—it's great for those of us who like to plan ahead.

Someone in your family doesn't use a smartphone? Let them have the paper "Personal Navigator" all to themselves.

Get a Big-Picture View of Your Disney Cruise

The app is simple to use and very intuitive. The main menu lets you quickly find what you're looking for.

Keep the Day's Activities at Your Fingertips

It's easy to see all the activities happening on the ship—including when they start and where to go—as well as the scheduled activities during your day on Castaway Cay . You can filter activities by age group, so kids, 'tweens and teens can make sure they don't miss any of the fun events at the Oceaneer Lab, Oceaneer Club, Edge, or Vibe. 

When you see an activity or event you like, simply select the heart icon and it will be saved into your personal schedule. Everyone in the family with a smartphone can select their own don't-miss activities and keep his or her own personal schedule.

Chat With Family Members

Keeping tabs on kids is a snap with the chat function, which lets you send and receive text messages with the family members in your stateroom. 

Find Favorite Disney Characters in a Flash

One of the wonderful things about taking a Disney Cruise is being able to meet Disney characters in a more intimate setting that you might find at the theme parks.

The Navigator app lets you know where each character has scheduled appearances with an official Disney photographer. You are always free to take personal photos, so don't forget your camera.

Don't Miss a Thing on Your Disney Cruise

Any activities that you've saved by clicking the heart icon will be stored in a handy personalized schedule. On the fence? Go ahead and save it with a heart. If you change your mind later, just deselect the heart and the activity will be removed from your schedule. 

You'll get an alert 15 minutes before the activity so you won't miss anything. And since different family members can have their own favorites saved, everyone can do what they like.

Pull Up Deckplans in a Snap

Are your kids begging to go to the AquaDuck ? Can't remember how to get to the Guest Services desk? Finding your way around the ship is a breeze when you have all the deck plans at your fingertips.

Sneak a Peek at Your Dinner Menu

Wondering what's for dinner ? The Navigator app lets you sneak a peek at the dinner menu. Super handy if you've got dietary restrictions, a picky eater, or a big appetite.

Make a Safe and Speedy Exit

The last morning of your cruise can be hectic if you're not organized. The Navigator app gives all the need-to-know info for debarkation day, from packing tips to necessary documentation and post-cruise transportation options.

All About The Disney Cruise Line Navigator App

I f you are planning to go on a Disney Cruise , you’ll want to download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. This free Disney cruise app has always been extremely useful when you are onboard the ship because you’ll be able to get information about activities on the ship as well as communicate with your family members. Now, however, it’s essential more than ever.

If you don’t have to pay for WiFi on the ship, and if you don’t want to use roaming cellular data, it can be a great way to communicate with friends and family on board. Here’s what you need to know about the Disney Cruise Line app.

Disclosure: I have been on one complimentary media cruise, two cruises as part of Social Media Moms, and countless cruises at my own cost. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links and a purchase/click through one of these links may result in a commission paid to us. 

Check cruise prices here .

The Disney Cruise Line Navigator App

Getting started: download the app before you go.

Make sure you download the free Disney Navigator app from the app store before you head out on your Disney Cruise. Do it while you are on cellular data or WiFi , and make sure all of your family members have it as well. Don’t wait until you are onboard the ship.

If you already have the app, make sure you are using the latest version. It is regularly updated, so you’ll need to check if you don’t have automatic updates. It’s also a good idea to log in and make sure you know what your ID and password are.

Using the App Before You Go

Originally, the app wasn’t very useful before you got on the ship. Now, however, there are several things that you can do right on the Disney Cruise Line app.

You’ll be able to log into your account, find your sailing, and make modifications and changes to your plans. You’ll find things like spa and fitness appointments, beverage seminars and other onboard activities, Port Adventures, and reservations for adult dining at Remy and Palo . You’ll also be able to see your current plans.

The app offers the same openings that you’ll find on the website, so it’s still a good idea to make those reservations as soon as possible within your booking window. Many of these experiences are very popular with limited openings. If you have multiple sailings booked on the Disney Cruise Line, you’ll be able to choose your specific sailing from the list.

When You Are on the Ship

Go to the onboard chat feature section and add each of your friends or family members. Those in the same stateroom will show up easily, but you’ll need to get a code from others to add them. If you have friends or family in other staterooms, you’ll want to set this up as soon as you can – while you are still on WiFi.

If you have kids in your stateroom, they can use the onboard chat feature but will need your permission. Again, this is something that you may want to do while you are still on cellular data, if possible.

Make sure that you understand what coverage your phone will have before you leave. We turn off all cellular services to avoid charges – but check with your carrier to know exactly what you should do.

When you are on the ship, you can turn on airplane mode, and then enable WiFi, and choose the DCL-Guest network. Even if you don’t purchase the Disney Cruise WiFi, you can still use the app.

In addition, guests can use iMessage on the ship to communicate with other iMessage users (even those off the ship). To do that, you’ll need to connect to the DCL-Guest network but won’t have to pay. This has been extremely useful in communicating with family back home.

If your entire family (on the ship) has iMessage, this can be the best way to communicate on a cruise. Otherwise, the chat option in the app works well.

Get Schedule Information

In past years, a Disney Cruise Line Personal Navigator with full schedule information was provided in your stateroom each evening. Unfortunately, this paper Disney Cruise Navigator is no longer offered at the port or in your room.

You can use the app to find everything you need. While I liked glancing at the paper Navigator, I find the Disney Cruise Line app more helpful since you can sort and view it more easily. You can search by category and sort.

In addition, you can “heart” a specific event, and get a reminder for it, right on your phone. With the app, you can also see the ship’s schedule for every day of your cruise, making it easier to plan.

If you are interested in an event, but the timing isn’t perfect, you can use the app to see if the event is offered later in your cruise.  You can also use the app to get the operating hours of the shops and services on the ship.

Sometimes things do change with the schedule. For instance, one day, on our Castaway Cay day, there was a downpour and we had to leave the island. They ended up adding some additional activities on the ship, and having the app was a great way to stay informed of the changes. 

The app also shows a schedule of the various ports of call during your cruise so you can stay organized during your trip. 

Communicate With Family Members

In the past, it could be difficult to communicate with your family members who were at different places on the ship. Because of the ease of using the app, the wave phones have been removed from the staterooms and everything is now done on the app.

I find that it’s especially helpful with tweens and teens, who always seem to be heading in different directions. My kids especially love the Disney emojis that you can use on the app. My son just kept sending messages filled with various emojis.

It’s important to note, however, that once you are back in port, the app resets. As a result, you won’t be able to see your old messages. If you meet new friends on the ship, you’ll want to get their information before the cruise is over.

You can use the app to see menus for all of the restaurants you’ll be dining at during your cruise. We like looking at future menus, so we can plan out what we’ll be eating.

Find Your Way

The app shows maps and deck plans to help you find your way on your cruise. There are plenty of maps located near the elevators on the ship, but it’s nice to have everything right on the app.

Laundry on the Disney Cruise Line app

While I typically don’t love doing chores on my family vacation, sometimes I do like doing laundry on the Disney Cruise Line. That way, I don’t have to bring quite as much with me, since I can wash clothes and re-wear them during my trip. But when I take away vacation time to do laundry, I don’t want to hover over the machine.

Luckily, the Disney Cruise Line app will alert you when your washer and dryer have finished running. That way, you can go about your vacation, and just pop into the laundry room when you need to.

Check Your Account Balance

No one wants to be surprised with a big bill at the end of their trip. You can look up your account balance and charges at any time on the app. That way, you’ll know how things are adding up without having to make a trip to guest services. 

Have you used the Disney Cruise Line app?

When booking a Disney Cruise , I recommend booking with Get Away Today. Plus, when you mention Family Travel Magazine, you get an extra $25 onboard credit! Give their agents a call at 877-510-2929.

Does anyone have a recent navigator for the Disney Magic 5 night Western Caribbean with stops in Caymans and Castaway Cay?

Michelle, The Disney Magic will not sail this itinerary until October 2015. For now, you can look at the navigators from a January sailing of the same itinerary aboard the Disney Wonder .

Hi Scott: I just uploaded two files from my cruise 4/3/15-4/8/15. I was in Cabin # 5522. I also sent you a copy of the 2015-2016 cruise brochure.

I do Michelle. I am going to send them over to be posted.

Did this ever get posted?

My mistake, I did not cruise on the Magic. It was the Wonder. I did post my Navigators. They are under the 5-Night Western Caribbean Easter Cruise on Disney Wonder – Itinerary C – April 3, 2015

Does anyone have a navigator for the fantasy April 2016 trip

anyone have any 2016 merrytime navigators from the fantasy?

Vanessa, the first Very MerryTime sailing on the Fantasy in this year is November 19th which is an Eastern followed by the Western on the 26th.

Any new Fantasy Western Navigators?

Hi, Does anyone have a Dream Navigator for Itinerary I ? It’s not a usual run and I’ve never seen anything for it? Thanks!!

Does anyone have copies of the New Dream 5 days cruise? Thanks!

Does anyone have copies of the navigators for itinerary D on the Fantasy? Thanks in advance!

The Disney Fantasy will not sail the 7-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise – Itinerary D until December 19, 2015.

I thought the Fantasy sails the 7-Night Eastern Carribbean through 2015. We are booked in Nov. for St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and Castaway Cay, 7 nights on the Fantasy.

Sara, I was specifically taling about Itinerary D which includes Tortola. Here is a d aily schedule for the Disney Fantasy listing the specific itinerary.

Hi! can someone send me personal navigator for the Disney Magic 4 nights in 2015 bahamas ?

The Disney Magic has not sailed this itinerary from Miami yet. The sailings being in October. There are some from 2013 that may help. Additionally there are more from the Wonder here , here and here .

Hi! Can anyone who already travelled share with me their experience of onboard activities? What is must-see, what is not? Thanks!

I thought there was a western fantasy c listed prior?

Vanessa, Yes. When DCL relaunched their website the made the itinerary names generic. In this case they dropped the itinerary letter. You can find the old Itinerary C here , but DCL is now calling it a 7-Night Western Caribbean Cruise from Port Canaveral.

I submitted the 7 night Bahamian from Galveston 12/11 to 12/18 this morning.

Thanks. I am a little behind with the personal navigators. I hope to get through them during the holiday week.

Hi Scott, I have the Navigator for the December 23rd Magic cruise. Do you need them? Where should I send them. Thanks for doing this I have used your site many times. Louise

You can upload them using this page .

Hi Louise. Do you have a Miami Western Caribbean personal navigator for the 7 night cruise? If you do, would you be so kind as to share it please and thank you.

I am trying to find a 7-night southern Caribbean navigator on the Wonder out of San Juan. I understand there have only been two cruises so far this year, but wondered if they are available anywhere.

I uploaded my Navigators and activity changes schedules (port issues due to weather) for our Jan 20 cruise – did you receive them? Not sure how helpful they will be though as the Magic is changing home ports in Feb 2016!

Hello Laurie. No, I didn’t receive them… Would you be so kind as to email it to me? [EMAIL ADDRESS REDACTED]. I will be on Dec. 2016 cruise and wondering what activities, dining, etc will be like. Also, what ports did you go to? Thank you so much!

I will be posting them soon. I removed your email address to prevent any bots from scrapping your address and spamming you.

Is there a navigator for the 4 day Bahamas cruise on Dream?

Veronica, You can find a full list of Personal Navigators here . The most recent 4-Night on the Dream can be found here .

I am looking for the 7 night Eastern Caribbean navigator.

Can you provide me the email address to send Navigators?

Please use our Personal Navigator upload page . If you prefer email, click on the mail icon on the top of the webpage.

Would love to see one for the Canadian/New England 5 day cruise from NYC.

Does anyone know what movies are currently playing on the Disney cruises? I will be sailing on the 5 night western Caribbean cruise out of Miami next week. What is the most recent personal navigator?

Hello. I will be traveling from Miami in December on the 7 night Magic. Has anyone traveled these dates previously? How was the water temperature on the ship and on the excursions? I believe I’ll be going to St. Johns Tortilla and Castaway Cay. Being from Miami, I’m used to really warm waters so I’m kind of concerned if to plan any water activities. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I see a link to April 4 Navigators for the Dream, but when I click it I get a 404 page error. Just FYI.

They were just published . They appeared on this page early.

Does anyone have the 5 day Disney Magic cruise from New York to Nova Scotia?

Hello! Does anyone have Navigators from the 2016 Alaska Sailing Season?

Susan, the first sailing is still underway.

Ah! That explains it. Thanks so much. We fly to CA 6/2 for the 6/6 sailing. Hopefully some kind sole on the current sailing will quickly upload Navigators. Thanks again.

Where is the thread for Disney fantasy departing from port canaveral on September 17

Daniel, Here is the link to the cruise page.

Does anyone have the navigators from the sailing over Christmas Day 2015 on the Wonder? Thank you!

Does anyone have a copy of the Fantasy Eastern Caribbean New Years Eve cruise

Hello do you have the 3 night Halloween cruise navigator for the Dream yet for 2016?

Can I presume nobody has been on the Wonder since the revamp? Is the cruise now starting the first with passengers?

Matt, the November 10th sailing is the first guest cruise following dry dock.

I’m looking forward to the 2017 PNs to start appearing to see what Star Wars Days at Sea look like in 2017!

Yes — please please please, someone submit the Eastern Star Wars Navigators!

I booked the 3 night Fantasy with a double dip to Castaway Cay. Having trouble getting an idea of what the navigators will look like. Any suggestions? I like to plan in advance…in detail.

Jessica, I would expect a similar experience to that of a 3-night Disney Dream sailing. For the Fantasy sailing, I foresee each of the main stage shows performed and each night will be the standard rotational dinner menu. Pirate Night festivities would likely be held on the second day.

Are there any more recent personal navigators on this site? It didn’t get updated recently for newer personal navigators

New navigators are posted on a regular basis as we receive them.

Thanks for posting all this wealth of information. Always so appreciated. One really minor suggestion, in the listings maybe you could add a little Star Wars icon of some sort next to those sailings, just like you have the pumpkins and trees for the holidays.

Thanks for the suggestion. In addition to the ? and ? I updated the site with ? for Star Wars Day at Sea and Ⓜ️ for Marvel Day at Sea.

Anyone have any Personal Navigators from either the Magic or Wonder from 2007?

Hello, I’m Marianne’s 14 year old son, Marcus Tran, and me and my mom love your blog so much that I had to ask you this question: I submitted some personal navigators of my family’s Disney Magic cruise on January 5-12, 2008, and I’m wondering if you could upload them. If you do, that would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have a back log of older navigators that need to be added to the site.

Where would the back log be?

In a folder on my hard drive.

Okay. Thank you for letting me know. I really do hope that those navigators are put up soon.

Scott, I’m still waiting for you to upload the navigators I sent to you. What’s taking so long?

just uploaded our navigators from the June 11, 2018 Alaska cruise. One note – we did go to Endicott Arm instead of Tracy Arm. Hope you received the files

Yes, thank you. I will get them posted ASAP.

When did the Personal Navigators start to look like they do today? I saw a Wonder navigator published from 2005 that looked white and bland.

Between 2010 and 2011. The Disney Dream entered service with the new look.

Hi does anyone have the 5 night Mediterranean cruise for july 9 2019 departs at bercelona

Heath, Navigators are not available for future sail dates. There are links to navigators from the 2017 and 2018 sailings of this same ternary available on this page .

what do the blue color cells mean? Does that mean you have to pay to participate?

No, the blue spaces in the kids spaces highlight the open house times where it is non-secured programing. During open house time, adults can join their children in the designated youth activity space.

There was a special guest on all the 2019 SW cruises. Anybody else upset that Star Wars day at sea 2020 cruises no longer have a special guest?

I do know Ashley Eckstein was on SW day at sea cruise last week with her family, but don’t know if she was considered a special guest or not. Note, many of the special guests would travel with family since they only did a couple presentation/meets on that one SW day at sea, like most celebrities, you would see them dining and around the ship. One of the few places they can roam freely without security since it’s the closed environment of cruise ship and of course, cameras are everywhere. My wife met Brandon Auman, executive producer of Star Wars Rebels on our SW cruise 2019. A cruise in 2014 our table was next to Jodi Benson family in all dining rooms on cruise the week after she did Candlelight processional at Epcot. We got to watch Jodi perform and meet her as part of a Disboards large group cruise!>)

Does anyone have a navigator for the 4 night Cozumel Disney Winder Cruise? We are going March 2nd. Thanks

Hi Jesse, at this time we do not have a set of Navigators for this itinerary. The first sailing of this itinerary sails from New Orleans at the end of February.

Is this still being updated? I’m curious why there aren’t any more recent Dream navigators since the return to cruising. We’re having a heck of a time figuring out what our 3-night will look like, and we board tomorrow! 😛

Hi Jennifer, We rely on readers to submit this information. Since DCL is no longer offering paper navigator handouts, it is not as easy to share the data as it requires a bunch of screenshots from the app. Some have opted to screen record the phone instead of individual screenshots. Regardless, the information is not as readily available to share. I do have some that our fine readers have taken the time to compile the information, but the steady stream that once was, is no more.

Thanks so much! I assumed as much – especially with fewer people cruising in general. I was just surprised to see no updates for the dream at all! Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll try to remember to save ours!

Hop aboard the Carnival Radiance for a short but fun-filled cruise weekend.

Whether you're short on vacation days or you only have a long weekend to spare, three-night cruises offer a fun and affordable way to get a change of scenery. These shorter sailings from the U.S. often amount to a weekend cruise and only depart from Florida and California for now. However, short cruises still let you dine and dance on board, enjoy world-class entertainment, and visit nearby destinations like Nassau in the Bahamas; Key West, Florida; or Ensenada, Mexico.

If you're looking for short cruises that pack a lot of good times into a weekend vacation, you should know that many cruise lines offer these trips, including Norwegian Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises. Read on to find out which short cruises we recommend, where they depart from, and everything you can see and do over the span of three incredible nights.
