Allure - Dect or Iphones?

[Canadian Mom Cruiser]

Hi there

 

Can any past Allure Cruisers confirm if they offer Dect or IPhones on board? We used Dect phones last year on IOS - they are a great way to keep in touch with pre-teen and teen daughters during the cruise.

 

We are sailing in March.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

^I've been trying to get to the bottom or this as well and from what I've gathered they are using the Dect phones on Allure right now.

I'd love to hear what they have...guess i'll know on Sunday. In the meantime I bought 2 way radios just in case. Last year on the Freedom of the Seas communication would have helped. Our, then 10 year old, went in PJ's to a certain night at Adventure Ocean, only to find that everyone else was in Jeans. She had the clearance to check herself out..and she did. She went to the cabin, changed and went back so she'd fit in. I would have liked to have known this...communication is great! So, a phone would help. I'll post what I find when I return!!

What does the dect phone do and where would I go to get one, guest services? I am going on the Allure this Sunday and would be helpful with my dd9.

On oasis in November, DECT phones were available at Guest Svcs, but went fast. They are a bit smaller than a normal cordless phone and can call any cabin or guest area on the ship. Because we had a child in the 3-5 Adventure Ocean group we were automatically given one for the week when we registered for camp.

 

We were told by a guest Svcs senior officer that there was a problem with the Royal Connect "iPhones" when they were taken off for a software upgrade and were not expected back on Oasis or Allure anytime soon.
