Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted December 5, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It worked for me, I had to approve and trust their developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampbaby Posted December 5, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Might be nice for those who signup with a WiFi package. The sample screen shot shows internet connection and I have no intention of paying for internet while on my cruise. Maybe I am wrong and there won't be a charge for any of this. I can dream.

On Carnival, there is never a charge for WiFi and it is available complimentary bow-to-stern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrythm Posted December 5, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Does anyone have a definitive list of which cruise lines have apps? I think NCL and Princess do. Do any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampbaby Posted December 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2014 On Carnival, there is never a charge for WiFi and it is available complimentary bow-to-stern. OK, that sounds good. Next question, how would I keep my email and text message for coming in? Thinking I could turn off texting and email on my iPhone and if so, that would work.

Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted December 5, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Turn data roaming off, turn airplane mode on, turn wifi on, join carnival wifi, boom free. Internet isn't free. If you don't buy Internet, you just get free ship stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUZBUDS Posted December 5, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Might be nice for those who signup with a WiFi package. The sample screen shot shows internet connection and I have no intention of paying for internet while on my cruise. Maybe I am wrong and there won't be a charge for any of this. I can dream. I think it's an internal wifi network-- not internet access. The screen shots all look ship related to me. I looks like the beginning of the end for printed daily schedules. Very cool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp12687 Posted December 5, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 5, 2014 just downloaded it. very cool looking. it appears it uses the ships network but hoping it does so without needing to pay for outward internet access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanman Posted December 6, 2014 #13 Share Posted December 6, 2014 On Carnival, there is never a charge for WiFi and it is available complimentary bow-to-stern. Not totally true, and there you go giving bad information again! WIFI is free, but if you want internet (which for the texting part it says you need), they charge.

WIFI is free, but if you want internet (which for the texting part it says you need), they charge. Actually, it is entirely true and is not misinformation. Onboard any cruise ship and any unsecured network, Wireless Fidelity is always 100% free. This application specifically uses Carnival's local intranet. Internet connectivity over the hyper text transfer protocol (Port 80) is completely different than WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet connectivity over the hyper text transfer protocol (Port 80) is completely different than WiFi. Most of the information is on their intranet, but they specifically have said that the texting portion will need internet connectivity. Speculation on my part, but that may be part of the testing of the Social Media plan, which does not make sense since that is on the Freedom and this app is only on the Breeze.

Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted December 7, 2014 Author #16 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) From what I understand, the app full functionality is free during this test phase. I don't know how long the test phase is. Edited December 7, 2014 by MamallamaAndDaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyluver Posted December 7, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I downloaded it on my tablet and phone, and will have my kids download it too. This will be great for our Breeze cruise in Feb!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnival_Brides Posted December 7, 2014 #18 Share Posted December 7, 2014 This is great! I use the FunHub site from my iPad onboard and the app has a lot more items integrated. I'm glad to see they are finally starting to catch up with other lines as far as technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

near the beach Posted December 8, 2014 #20 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Carnival tried this beta app a year ago on the Breeze for a couple of weeks. Then the app was no longer available. Sound like they have been working on it and are going to try it again. I hope it work well this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnHall1965 Posted December 8, 2014 #24 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The way it was explained to me by Carnival is that while in airplane mode and on Carnivals wifi you can text people on the ship that have the app installed and are on your friends list . They also said that it is only currently on the Breeze and will be free until further notice . Right or wrong I can't tell you for sure until I sail her in January ,but this is exactly what Carnivals customer service told me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
