purpldoll6x Posted February 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I want to download the Hub app for my cruise on the Liberty next week. Should I do this just before I get on the ship or wait until after I board?:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FijiFlip Posted February 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2017 They were supposed to add that for liberty in 2016.. what happened? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpldoll6x Posted February 21, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I called Carnival yesterday and I was told that the hub app is now active on the Liberty. I agree that is not listed as being active but I guess I'll find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardhowson Posted February 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Today's update of the Hub app did not add the Liberty to supported ships, so I would say you are likely going to have to cruise without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The description of the update this morning indicates that the Liberty was added. It does not show in the list of supported ships but Carnivals website states it will be active on Feb 23. I would download it and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitzmark Posted February 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This is the official release from Carnival's John Heald. He is simply repeating what has been posted previously on Carnival's website, not sure that it only became official when he said it. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1152/~/carnivals-wi-fi-service-and-hub-app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums[/url Remember, Carnival & John Heald have previously promised all their ships would have the Hub app functioning by mid 2016. Here we are 9 months later, it hasn't been completed as promised. So, from experience, poster was reminding everyone that because Carnival & John proclaims it to be so, does not mean it has or will actually occur.

auscgguysgirl Posted February 21, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2017 So I'm curious as to how the Hub App works when you are on board? It was NOT available on the Valor when we sailed last April. And the last couple of cruises we have taken it's only been me and DH, so no need to use it past the countdown. However, we are sailing on the Sunshine in April out of Port Canaveral and we have 15 people going. What exactly does it offer? And how does it work? I haven't been able to figure this out.

Food choices, deck plans, folio charges, activities, etc And for $5, you can add messaging feature for the entire cruise (although in my humble opinion, the other stuff like what I listed above is the true value of using the app). The messaging works so-so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enjoyinglife Posted February 25, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I have a question for anyone who has used the app. What is the cost? I see places where people said it cost 5 dollars. Others talk about the package they purchased. Is it 5 dollars plus the package? Or 5 dollars per day? Or a 1 times fee of 5 dollars? TIA Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMAE Posted February 25, 2017 #17 Share Posted February 25, 2017 It is free unless you want to be able to text people on the cruise. That is a one time change of $5pp. If you want to communicate with people not cruising the packages start at $5/day.

CuplACruzrs Posted February 25, 2017 #19 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Just off the Magic 2 weeks ago and used the HUB for the second time. First time was on the Sunshine in Feb of 2016. Works much better and has great features which we used often throughout the day and evening. Yes, you have to carry your phone rather than a piece of paper but who isn't used to carrying their phone wherever they go? Download the free app BEFORE you get on the cruise because you may not get it after boarding. Each person who wants to text has to pay the $5 pp fee but it's definitely worth it, especially when travelling in a group! "Up on the Lido near the pool - port side" or "headed down to breakfast" "meet me in the Showtime Theater 3rd row from the front" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I will because I think it can be useful. We've tried wallow talkies, post-it notes but have to say a good texting situation would be the best Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorinark Posted February 26, 2017 #23 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Used it last week on Triumph for first time. It was great. Traveled with 5 others and we used the messaging feature a lot. Wouldn't want to cruise without it. Could instantly see what food options were available, bar hours, event times, etc. Would be nice if they had MDR menus on it though.
