Pam in CA Posted June 16, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Can someone tell me if the patter is only for I-phone or is Android users able to get it as well? And, can we keep it on airplane mode?It's via an intranet. You keep it on airplane mode and turn on WiFi, just as you would if you were using the Internet.

TorontoTL Posted June 16, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The intranet is free, the Internet is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted June 16, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Even before the launch of this feature, Princess has had a FREE ZONE on its ship's WiFi service, accessible from any WiFi device. Previously it's had things like the itinerary and the Princess website. This new functionality is a welcome addition to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted June 16, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Are they adding the patter to all ships? That would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted June 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2013 without wifi you will not get anything on your device, there was always a free access to princess.com whilst on the ship. i guess the intranet will provide a similar setup to this except the ship itself will host it.

TorontoTL Posted June 16, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The WIFI intranet is not scheduled to be retrofitted to any of the existing ships. I think it was in one of the videos that it was mentioned that this was going to eventually be introduced throughout the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dides Posted June 16, 2013 #13 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yes, you navigate to their intranet site https://royal.princess.com. It worked fine with wi-fi on from my IPad but my bf couldn't get it to work from his android phone - he gave up trying in the end. Here are some pics: Patter on the intranet: Your stateroom account online: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted June 16, 2013 #14 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Thanks for the photos. That helps a lot to see what it's all about. As an FYI, you can take a screenshot of anything on the iPhone, iTouch or iPad by pressing the Home and Off button at the same time and letting go. It saves the photo to your photo library.

I inherited the iPad from my geek BF but he clearly failed on the training handover lol I forgot to say, that for the patter you can click on the title of the event or activity for more details and they even give you a little close up picture of the location you need to head to. Very nice feature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
