Disney Cruise Line Personal Navigators

If you’ve read posts about Disney Cruises, including ours, you’ve probably seen the term Personal Navigators. You’ve also probably wondered what they are – that’s what we’re here to talk about today!

Personal Navigators are your source of information while on a Disney Cruise. They include all of the important times like:
The Muster Drill (On the first day before you leave port)
Deck Parties (Sail Away, Pirate, Frozen, Deck the Deck, etc.)
Character Meet and Greets (And locations)
Movie Times
Restaurant Hours
Pool Hours
Youth Club Hours
Spa and Fitness Room Hours
Shop Hours
Arrival and Departure Times for Ports

This information is all contained on a piece of paper that is easy to carry with you and it is easy to find what you’re looking for! Restaurant, pool, spa, and youth club hours in a list. Character meet and greets and activities are listed on the front side of the Navigator and also listed on a chart that is broken down by times on the back!

The expected weather for the day as well as any important information like activity sign-ups or time changes and the Drink of the Day are also listed.

You receive your first Navigator at the Port when you check in. After that each Navigator is left in your stateroom during turndown for the next day. We like to look over the next day’s before we go to bed.

Not into carry a paper around with you, don’t worry there is also the Personal Navigator App.

The App incudes all of the same information as the paper as well as photos of the Drink of the Day and restaurant menus. You can set reminders and the app also allows you to “text” others that have the app and that you are connected with. Those that wish to use these features can do so my connecting to the ships WiFi. WiFi is free only for app use.

We highly recommend downloading the app even if you’re like us and plan to use the paper version as well. Once you download the app you may be a bit disappointed – there’s not much there – don’t worry, all of the fun stuff shows up once you’re on the ship! In the meantime, the app counts down until you sail away! (As long as you enter the date of your sailing that is.)

Being in the know is easier than ever on a Disney Cruise with Personal Navigators delivered to your stateroom, extras available by the Guest Services desk, character times posted in the lobby, and the Personal Navigator App.

Do you prefer the paper or electronic version?

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

Dinner at Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy

We’ve mentioned more than a few times that each of the four Disney ships has three main dining rooms. All four ships have the fun Animator’s Palate that we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as well as a themed dining rooms on the Magic and Wonder (Rapunzel’s and Tiana’s) and Enchanted Garden on the Dream and Fantasy. We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
