KimEadler Posted May 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think I remember seeing a date for when the Sunshine will get the Carnival Hub app, but I can't find it now? Does anyone know when the app will be in place on Sunshine? We're cruising on July 5 and I would love to have the app to keep in touch and view all of the activities! I'm so excited!! Anyone have info? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyislandwilldo Posted May 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I am interested in this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin1112 Posted June 3, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I am booked for a cruise in December and asked my PVP - he said it is only available on the Dream class and is not /will not be available on this ship. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin1112 Posted June 21, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2015 So contrary to the above note I left last month, I was just clicking around Carnival's website and it says there *IS* a Hub on Sunshine. http://www.carnival.com/onboard/funhub Click on "which ships is this on". Hmmmm :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCbaby817 Posted June 21, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I think the OP meant the Hub app, which you download to your cell. From what I read a couple of days ago, it's still only on the Breeze. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin1112 Posted June 21, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thanks for the note...Funny thing is I asked my PVP about the "Hub" and he replied back with the Fun Hub. I too wanted to know about the app...maybe the original thought was correct that the answer is NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimEadler Posted June 21, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Dang! I got excited for a minute! I was really hoping that the app would be working for our July 5 cruise. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin1112 Posted June 22, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Dang! I got excited for a minute! I was really hoping that the app would be working for our July 5 cruise. :( So sorry...I got conflicting info! I called Carnival to switch my cabin for my December cruise and asked the question again. Breeze is the only one currently with it available. They will be rolling it out to "other ships" over "the next 24 months" but there is no further info on which ships or on what schedule. BOO. That was something pretty cool about our November cruise on NCL. With the recent refurb of Sunshine I'm surprised they didnt add it. Fingers crossed for that one...cuz I'm not holding out hope they do it for the Victory in August. *Shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwsmith88 Posted June 22, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2015 JH has said in his FB page that sunshine will be getting it next. Then the full roll out will begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelandtierney Posted June 29, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Just back from the 6/19 - 6/27 sailing on the Sunshine. The Hub was not accessible for us. Was hoping to use it to stay in touch with the teens but opted for the personal check in instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texbam Posted July 27, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Any update on the schedule? I've heard the Sunshine is next, but nothing definite on when.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texbam Posted August 10, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Updates from recent cruises? Saw in Carnival News today that it will be added to five more ships by year end and fleet wide by 2016. However the five ships this year weren't named.

kindatravelsavy19 Posted August 13, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I hope they have it ready for the Sunshine by Feb.! I looked yesterday in the app store and saw BREEZE HUB as the only choice. I guess each ship will have its own app to download just wish they would use actual dates. Instead of by the end of the year. I guess they don't want guest expecting it by a set day and then not having it. Many know how flexible construction deadlines are I guess they want to protect themselves from that by saying end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hermitstyle Posted November 24, 2015 #17 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Jaime Dee said on her page it will be available starting with the October 23rd sailing. I can confirm that it is on the Sunshine. I was on board for the Nov 8th sailing and used it. It was great. You could favorite what you wanted to do on the fun times, and your phone could alert you. You could also see how many other people were going to the same event - though I don't think anyone knew about the hub app. It was great to see the upcoming events for the next days as well without having to wait for the funtimes every night.

SammySH Posted January 5, 2016 #18 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If the app is free to download, when and how do you pay the $5 for the chat feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Blue Posted January 5, 2016 #19 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If the app is free to download, when and how do you pay the $5 for the chat feature? Yes the app is free. Once onboard you activate it and the $5 is charged to,your account. Please note that it is $5 per person not per account, which I only discovered when I checked my online account.

tbo Posted January 5, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Do you pay the $5 only if you want the chat feature? Since there are only 2 of us, I can't imagine we will need the chat part, but I would like to have the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar Blue Posted January 5, 2016 #22 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The $5 dollars is purely for the chat part. The app and use of it is totally free. It was just me and my wife on our cruise, but we got the app so we could keep in touch. I wake very early and so would get up, grab a coffee from the Lido and then sit on the top deck reading until she woke up. The idea was she could send me message when she was awake and ready for a cup of tea bringing to the stateroom. To be honest we didn't use it enough to justify the price, but I am bigger parties, particularly with kids would get more use out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthworm Jim Posted January 5, 2016 #23 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Previously, Carnival had a schedule for the rollout of Carnival Hub on other ships: The HUB App is currently on the Carnival Breeze and Carnival Sunshine. It will be available on the following ships (dates subject to change): Carnival Freedom (11/16/15), Carnival Conquest (12/05/15) and Carnival Glory (12/06/15). The rest of the fleet will roll out during 2016. The Carnival Vista will launch with the HUB App. It doesn't show any schedule on the Carnival site anymore though, and they have fallen behind the above posted schedule. (Which is presumably why they no longer show a schedule) Conquest and Glory did not get it in the beginning of December like they planned. But in mid-December I read a post here saying the Glory had it available in beta-test mode for free. The next week Glory was listed as one of the supported ships on the app. That gave me high hopes that Conquest would have it by next week when I sail on her. But so far, nothing. :( I can still hope that it's in beta testing this week and be available next week, or that it will be in beta testing next week, or that when I'm onboard and click the "I'm aboard, log me in!" button it will work if they just haven't updated the app yet to shop Conquest is now supported. But those chances seem more of a longshot now. The app says it's now on Breeze, Freedom, Glory, and Sunshine.

My husband still has a flip phone :rolleyes: and has never ever sent me a text message, my guess is he's not changing that anytime soon, even on a cruise:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharse Posted March 31, 2016 #25 Share Posted March 31, 2016 We just used the chat feature last week on Sunshine. It was probably 75% reliable. Often, when my husband would send me a text, I would get it at least a dozen times. Once it came over 34 times. :p Better than not getting it at all, I suppose. But it was nice to be able to review our folio, see ships time, what activities are happening and when and where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
