Ted&Elle Posted December 20, 2018 #51 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I decided to join this app thread because it seems relatively active and diverse compared to the other mostly single-issue posts about the app(s). The app is everything I expected it to be after all the IT misfires I continue to experience with our upcoming February Oasis cruise. When I first loaded it, it couldn't find any reservations for me. Possibly I was a day or two before the 90-day limit. Then later, it showed what appeared to be a cruise compass for every day of the sailing. None of the items could be flagged or added to my calendar, but they were there. After checking in on the website, the app continues to ask me why I don't use it to check in. Only there's no check-in option. The button to "get a jump on those check-in forms" takes me to my already completed profile and nothing more. There are no SetSail passes available on the app, although they are viewable on the web page. As of today, the cruise calendar is completely empty. No reservations of any kind are displayed (dining, entertainment, shore excursions), and the daily planner is blank. When I swipe the "My Calendar" page to see if any reservations are shown there, the window shrinks to one row at the top of the page that's too small to read anything. While proofreading this opus, I scrolled around again. Now the daily activities are showing, and some of our reservations appear. It has Chef's Table on the right day, but no FNDR or Bottomless Galley Brunch. The shore excursion tab is still blank, and some of the entertainment reservations are missing. I could better understand if the info was either all there or all gone, but for it to periodically appear and disappear is not very reassuring. I will be sure to have paper copies of everything since clearly we can't count on the app to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the countless number of RCI IT related threads, you would realize this is the norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCI doesn't do that, you need a VOOM package. Not without a VOOM package. Just so I am clear... We are on Oasis OTS this January... If we wanted to download and use the Royal App, that is free to use but... If I wanted to use the text others that are ALSO using the APP, I would need to have a Voom package of some sort...Correct?

Yes, unless the free chat function within the app is added by that time - Allure only for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You do not need an internet package to text using the app as long as the app supports texting. Currently I’m only aware of Allure supporting texting with the Roysl app. Edited December 20, 2018 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinam2 Posted December 20, 2018 #57 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Does the app have a social media only internet option or do you have to pay the $15 a day to check fb? Carnival has $5 a day social media only, curious if RCI does too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinam2 Posted December 20, 2018 #59 Share Posted December 20, 2018 That is too bad...I can’t see spending $15 because I wouldn’t use it other than to check for messages from the kids.I know I can check in with them while in port, so I’ll stick with that.

Missymo Posted December 22, 2018 #60 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) The royal app also has our personal information with set sail passes for both DH and I, Crown and anchor information. along with all dining information.I believe the shows we chose will also be on the calendar. As we are getting closer, more information should be added to the app. Edited December 22, 2018 by Missymo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikary Posted December 24, 2018 #64 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The paper Compass overrides the Royal Caribbean app. Hubby and I were on Serenade of the Seas 12/10 to 12/21. I noticed that the online Compass and paper Compass more often than not did not match. Also, the app seemed to overcompensate for time changes, so that the times listed for activities were wrong. Use caution when relying on the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaraldOslo Posted December 24, 2018 #66 Share Posted December 24, 2018 We are going on Harmony in february and both apps are supposed to work with Harmony. I wonder how that will play out.. Do I need both for various features, or should I just stick to one of them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
