I read somewhere that to just text using the Carnival Hub app there is a $5 fee for the entire cruise - not $5/day. I don't guarantee what I say is the right answer.

I wish someone would state how to put name tags on for the Meet and Mingle. I know how to print the label that says "you know me as _____ My name is ________" and you fill in the blanks and print it. But, I need a holder to attach it to me or else carry it around in my hand to show everybody! 😫

OVgirl, you state:"Cruise Critic is not owned by any cruise line. If the cruise lines work with your roll call, it's just as a courtesy".

It would appear to me that Cruise Critic would not be in business if they work with only a few cruise lines. They obviously profit by having the website or else it would not exist. And, if ships provide Meet and Mingle parties as a result of the number of individuals joining Roll Calls for each cruise - as shown in Cruise Critic- then there is obviously support from all the cruise lines for the site and conversely, an obligation by the website owners to provide up to date and correct information. The individuals in my cruise Roll Call (including me) are not listed among the members when I check the entire membership roll. None are listed.

I appreciate your information. I had concluded that they need better systems personnel to handle such an important web site. It needs to be updated just as some of their ships need it.

1. There are very few details from people in my roll call. No contacts. No one has befriended anyone. No one has provided contact information.

2. One individual in my Roll Call has mentioned we now have 33 individuals

signed up. There are only 11 listed so I don't know how he knows the total as

it is certainly not apparent.

3. And most important, when I go to the complete member list and put in the

names of individuals in my Roll Call, I get the answer that they are not listed

among Cruise Critic Members. This appears to be a database problem or

perhaps you only update about every six months or so.

I would be glad to communicate with any in my Roll Call and have left postings but no responses.

Information anyone?

Not sure what Hand and Foot is but always willing to try something new.

You're on the wrong cruise, Deenie33! We'll miss you.

I'd like to update my previous reply. I called Carnival's Tech line and asked if you got "Chat" as a basic service when you use Carnival HUB or if you have to get one of their plans to use Chat. I was informed that the first time you use it, your account is charged $5.00 and that covers the entire cruise. It is not $5.00 per day as other services cost. I repeat - for a total of $5 which is automatically charged to your account, you have Chat with other passengers on board ship.:halo:

This is what I've been looking for. Carnival spends a lot of time discussing the different plans and how to get the HUB, but I was not able to find out if "Chat" with other passengers is available free with the HUB app. Apparently, according to this response, you cannot chat at all with the HUB without putting out more $$$$:: "

Carnival hub is free (you can view all the activities, deck plans etc, but the text feature has a nominal cost (I think it was a singe charge 4 or 5 dollars per device, for the entire duration of the cruise."
