vistacruise4me Posted August 8, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2016 So we off in 16 days italy, spain, france and barcelona. I was wondering- what is the best way to communication between passengers? Should i add internalional onto my verizon plan? (about $30 month) I thought I heard about a Carnival app that allows you to send texts messages while on board ? Of course the lowest cost whould be great also. any help would be apprecaited . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted August 8, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2016 You can get the Carnival Hub app, and for $5, you will be able to text with that app. The app itself is free, just the text portion costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman1821 Posted August 8, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Each person that you want to communicate with while on the boat will need to have downloaded the app and pay the $5 fee. You can also get a free Carnival lanyard on the day of Embarkation if you show them you have the app. The booth was located across from Guest Services on deck 3. Note - there were some times and various locations on the boat where the Wifi - that the app uses was not working. For off the boat, I signed up for a T mobile POST paid account for $50. I was able to use LTE and 3G while in port at all of the various cities. In each port in the morning, I would connect to the local data provider and check my email. I was also able to use any local wifi as well (after getting credentials from restaurant or wifi enabled tour van). I used an unlocked iPhone and set up the account 3 days before leaving. This was a tremendous help since I was also able to check in for my flights as well as download my boarding passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
