originalgeek Posted November 29, 2017 #26 Share Posted November 29, 2017 " Is it possible you were in port and connecting to land based cell towers?" This still will not work with the hub app and it is only "on the ship" Right but he could have been using a text app having nothing to do with hub. sent from my galaxy tab a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising with the family Posted November 29, 2017 #27 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I am not even getting involved in the text/Hub/internet discussion! ;p However, I did want to say that my 12-year old was only able to chat with people that were within our grouped sailing. I had to give permission for her to be able to chat. After that, she could only message us. She met friends on board, but they were not able to message each other through the app. She was disappointed with that feature. 13+ kids would have no problem!

Anchors Away 2016 Posted November 29, 2017 #28 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Just a heads up to add that we were on the Liberty recently, and were all eager to use the Chat function on the app to help us find each other on the ship, only to get on and find that it was having technical issues. The rest of the app worked, but the Chat function didn't work at all during our trip. We spent a lot of time leaving notes for each other and looking for each other. They did refund our $5 each, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKrauss Posted March 14, 2018 #29 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We were recently on Disney and you can download their app free and text friends and family on board. I really liked that the Kids Club would text you if your child wanted to leave... it only happened once during our 7 day cruise but it gave me piece of mind. We will be sailing on the Horizon on 7/3/18... Does Camp Ocean text you if you download the Hub app ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCruiseHereOften? Posted September 5, 2018 #30 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Does the$10.25/day Value Internet Plan allow you to use the Carnival HUB chat feature? My wife and I are thinking one of us can purchase the Value Package and the other purchase just $5/sailing chat feature via Carnival Hub and both of us can then "chat" via the HUB chat feature.

No, 2 totally separate things. You'll both need to pay $5 if you wish to chat via The Hub. However if you both have Internet then you can just chat via Facebook.

Psalms23 Posted September 18, 2018 #32 Share Posted September 18, 2018 My family has downloaded the Hub app. Do we pay the $5 once we are on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubT Posted December 29, 2018 #35 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Lots of useful information here. I see that the menus have been added to the Hub app, and I understand you can also use it on some of the ships (specifically, the Vista was the subject of the post I saw on the subject) to get seats in the YTD without going to the 5th deck office to check in. Now, I have a question. Since this is a wi-fi based app, will it work on an unactivated phone? Specifically, I don't really want to carry a $1000 phone around on the ship, when I have a number of perfectly good, but no longer activated phones in my closet.

It worked on my tablet that is not connected to a data plan, so I am guessing it would work for the HUB only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coevan Posted December 29, 2018 #39 Share Posted December 29, 2018 only if someone in Camp Carnival has the app loaded, doubt employees have the app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubT Posted January 4, 2019 #41 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I have heard you have to be updated to a certain level of Android for it to work. Does anyone know what the minimum version of Android is required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy7 Posted January 4, 2019 #44 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Didn't know this and never had any issues, my phone was a few years old at the time. How do I update my Android ™? Make sure your device is connected to Wi-Fi. Open Settings. Select About Phone. Tap Check for Updates. If an update is available, an Update button will appear. Tap it. Install. Depending on the OS, you'll see Install Now, Reboot and install, or Install System Software. Tap it. Edited January 4, 2019 by Ziggy7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went to check, and one of the old phones is 5.1. I may throw another one in, just in case. But that one is small, so that would be my wife's preference.
