(We always put our phones into airplane mode before turning on wifi, that way we won&#8217;t accidentally come home with a cell phone bill in the hundreds of dollars.)&nbsp; Connecting to the DCL-GUEST wifi will connect your device to the ship&#8217;s wifi, network where use of the Navigator app (and the Disney Cruise Line website) is free.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have connected to the DCL-GUEST network, you can open the app to get its full functionality.&nbsp; For each day of the cruise, the app will detail information on the ship&#8217;s planned location (whether at sea or in port), weather forecast, boarding times (if a port day), and the attire for dinner.&nbsp;

To use the on board chat, you will enter in your stateroom number.&nbsp; Any minors in your room must get permission to use the feature from their parents.&nbsp; Once you&#8217;ve entered your stateroom information and selected a nickname (or you can use your given name), you can start chatting with members of your room.&nbsp; You can also share an ID number from your app with guests outside your stateroom so you can chat with them.&nbsp; It is very similar to texting, but not quite as reliable (we have moments when people in our stateroom haven&#8217;t gotten messages).&nbsp; There are emojis in the app as well, so you can send all the Disney characters in your chat as well.<\/p>\n<p>\t<div class='ngg-imagebrowser default-view'\n\t\tid='ngg-imagebrowser-26d65fc1c3853c524f202f99c8a93b6f-1598'\n\t\tdata-nextgen-gallery-id=\"26d65fc1c3853c524f202f99c8a93b6f\"\n\t\tdata-gallery-id=\"7\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-gallery-name=\"Navigator Chat\"\n\t\t>\n\n\t\t<h3>Ready to Chat<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-0\" class=\"pic\" \n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/navigator-chat\/IMG_9553.png'\n\t\t\ttitle=' '\n\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/navigator-chat\/IMG_9553.png?t=1521728554\"\n\t\t\tdata-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/navigator-chat\/thumbs\/thumbs_IMG_9553.png?t=1521728554\"\n\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"65\"\n\t\t\tdata-image-name=\"IMG_9553.png\"\n\t\t\tdata-title=\"Ready to Chat\"\n\t\t\tdata-description=\" \"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"ngg-fancybox\" rel=\"26d65fc1c3853c524f202f99c8a93b6f\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-img\" title='Ready to Chat'\n\t\t\t\talt='Ready to Chat'\n\t\t\t\tsrc='https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/navigator-chat\/IMG_9553.png?t=1521728554'\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class='ngg-imagebrowser-nav'>\n\n\t\t\t<div class='back'>\n\t\t\t\t<a class='ngg-browser-prev'\n\t\t\t\t\tid='ngg-prev-64'\n\t\t\t\t\thref='https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/index.php\/disney-cruise-line-navigator\/nggallery\/image\/img_9559\/'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class='next'>\n\t\t\t\t<a class='ngg-browser-next'\n\t\t\t\t\tid='ngg-next-64'\n\t\t\t\t\thref='https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/index.php\/disney-cruise-line-navigator\/nggallery\/image\/img_9559\/'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class='counter'>\n\t\t\t\tImage\t\t\t\t1\t\t\t\tof\t\t\t\t2\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class='ngg-imagebrowser-desc'>\n\t\t\t<p> <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>We definitely take advantage of the app from the minute we get on board.&nbsp;
