cjd930 Posted August 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Can someone tell me the cost to connect to the Carnival HUB app while on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted August 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It's free. The only time it costs money is if you want to use the chat feature within in it and that's $5 for the whole cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjd930 Posted August 10, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thanks, that's what we want the chat part. Wife and i often go our separate way while cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspectre Posted August 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It's $5 per device for the length of the cruise for chat. Everything else is free and we used the app a lot on our cruise for the Fun Times. Other than the Hub app we only used our phones as cameras as we didn't pay for internet access and kept the cell radios on airplane mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjd930 Posted August 10, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted August 10, 2017 We've used something similar on another line but haven't cruised Carnival in many years. Like just about everything else it cost less to use than the other line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemanbobswife Posted August 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Can this app be used on a ipad? I think so. Check and see if it's in the App Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemanbobswife Posted August 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Have the app install on my ipad. Do not know how it works. It won't work besides the countdown until you're onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy7 Posted August 11, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 11, 2017 You can use the app on your computer, tablet, and phone, but you can only use them one at a time. Also others have mentioned the app needs to be open in order to receive notification from others :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted August 11, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I use the app on my ipad and iphone. Hub only works on the ship. The $5 chat feature is handy when you're not always together. We traveled in a group of 6 & used it to meet up with each other. I did notice that you have to have the app open to get the messages. I wish it would send a notification even when closed. I liked looking at the fun times on my ipad, where the font is bigger and I could see more of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyStar Posted March 28, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Further question: I do see that only the countdown works and I see the "I'M ON BOARD, LOG IN". When we board, of course, I know to log in. After that, are we given the choice to pay the $5 for the chat feature. Is that amount added to your S&S? Things have changed since I last sailed Carnival so I appreciate the help. Jenny EDIT: I'll start a new thread to make sure I see the answer.

Since we get wifi, the chat feature is not necessary, the IM is much faster and more reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used whatsapp to video talk with my grandkids and showed them the cabin. I'm sure its wifi but it worked in a rea aft cabin for me :):) The hub worked on my phone, but was told tablet would work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what coevan said wasn't true. You can use the Hub app on multiple devices at once. Unless you're using the chat feature. The wifi, on the other hand, can be used on multiple devices under the same purchase, but you have to log out of one and into the other. Or pay separate fees for each device to use them at the same time. The Hub app can be used independently from one of their wifi plans. You don't have to buy a plan to use the app. I can't find the app on my iPad at all. Is it under "carnival hub". Just can't find it under Carnival at all. ThanksWhen I search for Carnival Hub in the App Store, it's the first search result. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, & iPod Touch, according to them.

Have installed from iPhone..hope it works thanks.No problem, glad you found it. Does the countdown clock work at least? You won't get any of the other features until you get on board, but if the countdown works, I'm guessing the rest of it will. If it wasn't compatible, more than likely it wouldn't open or it'd just crash immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to have on the iPad to look up fun times and events etc. Thanks for your help. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
