The Disney Cruise Line Navigator app is designed to help guests manage their cruise before and during their voyage. Depending on where you are in your travel planning, the app can be used to review reservation information, complete online check-in, make payments, explore activities, and manage other cruise details. Once onboard, it also provides access to daily schedules, dining information, ship maps, activities, and other useful features.
If you have already booked a Disney Cruise Line vacation but cannot see it in the app, the first step is to make sure the reservation is connected to your Disney account. Disney Cruise Line's official instructions refer to this process through My Reservations, where guests can add a reservation and link additional reservations when necessary.
The Disney Cruise Line Navigator app is the official mobile app for managing and enjoying a Disney cruise.
Before your cruise, it can help you:
Once you are onboard, the app can provide access to your daily cruise schedule, entertainment, dining information, ship maps, activity reservations, and onboard communication features.
Adding your cruise generally involves connecting your reservation to the Disney account you use to access your cruise information.
If you have not installed the app yet, download the latest version to your smartphone or tablet.
Disney Cruise Line says the Navigator app is available through the Apple App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices. Disney recommends downloading it before you leave home so you can prepare for your trip in advance.
Open the Navigator app and sign in using the Disney account associated with your cruise planning.
Make sure you use the correct account. If you have multiple Disney accounts or previously booked a cruise using a different email address, the reservation may not immediately appear in the account you are currently using.
After signing in, look for the area associated with your cruise reservations.
Disney Cruise Line's online instructions use My Reservations for managing reservations. Guests who have already added a reservation can select the reservation number and then choose Add and Link Reservations when they need to connect another booking.
If your cruise is not already connected to your account, select the option to Add a Reservation.
Disney's instructions state that guests who have not yet added a reservation online should:
You may need the reservation information from your Disney Cruise Line confirmation to complete the process.

Disney says linked reservations can help coordinate matters such as dinner seating and stateroom locations.
Keep your cruise confirmation nearby when attempting to connect the reservation.
Useful information may include:
If someone else booked the cruise for you, ask that person for the confirmation details.
If a travel agency made the reservation, keep your agency confirmation available as well.
A missing reservation does not necessarily mean that the cruise has been canceled or lost.
Try these troubleshooting steps.
Check the email address associated with the account you are using.
A reservation may not appear if it was originally associated with another account or if you are signed into a different Disney account.
Review the reservation number, guest details, sailing date, and other information you entered.
Even a small difference in reservation information can prevent the system from matching the booking correctly.
Make sure you are using the latest version of the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. Disney recommends downloading the latest version before your cruise.
If an update is available, install it and sign in again.

Yes. The Navigator app is not only an onboard tool.
Disney Cruise Line says guests can use the app at home to manage their reservation, make payments, complete online check-in, explore activities, and handle other cruise-planning tasks.

Disney says the app can be used to review reservation details, view deck plans, modify certain stateroom information, and make payments.
The Navigator app provides access to online check-in before your sailing.
Completing the required information ahead of time can make your arrival process more organized.

The app becomes especially useful after you board the ship.
You can use it to:
Disney Cruise Line says the app's onboard features are designed to help guests navigate the ship and keep track of activities and plans throughout the voyage.
Disney Cruise Line recommends downloading the app before your cruise.
After boarding, Disney says the DCL-GUEST wireless network can be used without charge when it supports the Navigator app. However, other onboard internet activity, including downloading the app, email, and general web browsing, can be subject to additional charges.
For that reason, installing and updating the app at home is a practical way to avoid unnecessary problems after boarding.
If your Disney Cruise Line vacation was booked through a travel agency, keep your travel advisor's information available.
Disney states that guests who booked through a travel agency should contact their travel advisor for modifications to their reservation.

If you have more than one Disney account, verify that you are signed into the account associated with your cruise information.
Double-check your reservation number and guest information against your confirmation.
