On board navigator official app

[steveyjc81]

Just seen this on the iTunes App Store, haven't seen it mentioned here before. I will be on 9/14 sailing so will report back.

Search iTunes App Store for Disney cruise and the navigator app is there.

I wonder how that would work without any cell service.

Very interesting. Looks like a public beta test just on those two cruises.

Hopefully it's successful. Such a great idea. I'd use the crap out of it on my iPad mini.

It uses the ship's wifi (free)


They had something like this on the ncl epic last year

I hope they extend the test. I will be on the 10/5 cruise.

They had something similar to this mentioned in our post cruise survey last spring. Neat that they're doing it!

Right now its an iPhone app, which means you don't get the full screen on an IPad, I hope this changes before they go full release with this app.

This app is also available for Android in the Google Play store.

Downloaded it for my SG III and it looks nice.

I hope they let you look at PDF'S of navigators. Should be easy enough to create a link to existing ones.

Looking forward to trying in January

Good explanation of how it works and screenshots on the Disney Cruise Line blog.

Is it free? Disney Navigator?

 

[sweetpee_1993]

I downloaded the app. Its free. I'll be on the 9/14 so I'll be checking it out.

 

[SigalTchelet]

I found it and downloaded it! Hope I can use it on our November 30th sailing!

Nice. Thanks for heads up. Downloading as we speak. I'll report back as well.

Downloaded the Android version - even though I'll be on the Dream on the 22nd. Please keep us posted on the "expansion" of the availability.

This is a great idea. I've wished in past sailings that they had something like this. Having the navigator on my phone means one less thing to have to carry around.

Next up, a Fastpass+ system, no more seat savers......just kidding.

Really? Wouldn't you be carrying your phone instead of a Navigator, i.e. not really carrying anything less, just something different?

While I think it's neat, I love not carrying my phone and being disconnected on our cruises. I don't mind carrying a Navigator (which often gets wet at the pool deck). I use my iPhone for pics on the first day, then it stays docked in the iHome.

I know I'm in the minority. I don't FB, I still like to hand write letters & Thank You cards, and prefer not to use my iPhone while cruising....... Old fashioned I guess!

I don't disagree with you, but I still plan on disconnecting. I'll be switching to airplane mode, and turning off wifi. I have no intention on checking fb, my phone or text or anything else while on the cruise. But, even before the app was released I planned on carrying my phone for the camera, but that's it. And I never carried the navigator bc it was too big and I have nothing to carry it in. I've missed many an event bc I didn't have one and didn't want to go to gs to get a new one. I hope this will help save paper in the long run.

I love this! I hope it leads to more NextGen things on the ships! Especially Magicbands!
