Current Disney Cruise Wifi Prices and Packages

Disney Cruise Line has wifi on board all of their ships and have changed some packages and prices. If you’re sailing on a Disney Cruise in 2025 or 2026, here’s everything you need to know about Disney Cruise Line internet like how much it costs, how to connect to wifi while sailing, and which data plan is best for you.

How Much Does WiFi Cost on Disney Cruise Line?

Disney Cruise WiFi starts at $26 per day on all the Disney Cruise Line ships and $42 per day for internet plus streaming. You can purchase wifi on the Disney Treasure, Disney Wish, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Magic, and Disney Wonder. 

The price for Disney Cruise WiFi is per device in the room, not per room. So the price is cheaper per day if you choose wifi for the whole voyage. If not, you can choose 24 hour increments. 

For example, if you purchase internet on Disney Cruise Line on a Saturday at 5:00 p.m., you’d have until 5:00 p.m. on Sunday to use it before it shuts off. 

 

If you purchase wifi for the whole Disney cruise, then you usually get a little discount on your package. For example, I was on a 3-night cruise on the Disney Wish, so my per day cost would have been $22 a day if I purchased wifi for the entire voyage. All the exact pricing for wifi packages for your specific cruise is available once you’re on board the ship.

Is There Free Wi-Fi on Disney Cruise Line Ships?

If you have an iPhone, you can use iMessages for free even at sea on Disney Cruise Line. I found that I had to be logged in before I boarded, and my party was able to text other people on land with iPhones. 

You can also use the Disney Cruise Line App and Navigator for free while on board. WhatsApp sometimes worked for free and other times it didn’t. 

However, if you want to use the internet and social media, you do have to purchase a wifi package on Disney Cruise Line. 

Disney Cruise Line Wifi Packages 2025 and 2026

Disney Cruise Line offers two wifi packages, Internet and Internet Plus Streaming.

• Internet Package: This package allows guests to stay connected on social media like Instagram and TikTok, browse the web, make audio and video calls on FaceTime, WhatsApp, and Zoom, and access emails,  but does not support long-form video or streaming applications or websites. The current price for this package starts at $26/day (prices are subject to change).

• Internet plus Streaming: This package includes all of the same access as the basic Internet package but also supports video and music streaming platforms like YouTube, Hulu, Disney+, and Netflix. You can also stream music from Spotify and Apple Music. The current price for this package starts at $42/day (prices are subject to change).

 

How Do You Connect to the Internet on Disney Cruise Line?

When you board your Disney Cruise, you should be able to use your regular data plan for internet until about 10 minutes or so after you leave your port.

When you’re far enough at sea, your cell phone won’t work anymore.

However, to actually use the Disney Cruise Line app, you need to connect to guest wifi on board and be in airplane mode. The DCL app is where you find information about activities, schedule, stateroom, dining rotation, etc.

You don’t need to purchase internet services to connect to the ship’s Wi-Fi network when used only for the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app.

If you want to connect to the wifi on a Disney Cruise ship, there is an additional cost. Once you’re on the Disney Cruise Line app, you’ll see the options to Connect@Sea. Then you’ll need to set up an account if you don’t already have one.

Once on board the ship, open the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app and go to  “Connect to Internet,” which will open a separate browser for you to view internet plans and purchase internet access.

Again, the Disney Cruise Line wifi packages are per device, and not per stateroom. 

Then you’ll select your package, the duration, and how many devices you need. 

Is Disney Cruise Line Wifi Worth It?

If you need to work or want to browse the internet, then wifi on Disney Cruise Line is worth it…if it’s necessary. However, it still can be glitchy at sea. 

If you don’t absolutely need to use it, then maybe wait until you’re in port to do what you need to do. Sometimes it’s also nice to disconnect from the world while on vacation.

You’re not always going to get the fastest wifi while on Disney Cruise Line or at sea, so I wouldn’t schedule an important meeting just in case there’s a glitch. However, the basic internet package should be enough to do what you need to do, provided you don’t need to make Zoom calls. 

With the price increase of Disney Cruise wifi, it’s not as cost effective and may not be in your budget. If you don’t have to use it, then save your money and buy Palo Brunch instead. 

I suggest trying it out for a day and then you can increases your package if necessary. If you find that the internet is not working, then you can also talk to Guest Services about their suggestions or request a refund if necessary.
