TexSea Posted November 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) I found another iOS app I hadn't seen mentioned before, the Celebrity Edge Access Tour. Seems to be a virtual/augmented reality type app. Some of it can be used at home and other sections look like they are intended to be used on the ship. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/celebrity-edge-access-tour/id1438559709?mt=8 Edited November 4, 2018 by TexSea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexSea Posted November 4, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Here's Richard Fain "standing" in my living room with a model of the Edge. As one does. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted November 4, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Gee, if i could find that app and it worked with my Samsung Android tablet, I could cancel the expensive in Person Access tour we have booked! Could not locate that tour app, and in general the Eden App is not matched to my device...apparently it is too old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this one on the Google Play store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rccl.celebrity.magiccarpet. Doesn't quite look the same, but it was released just a few days ago.

Rare hcat Posted November 4, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Well at least I copied a nice photo from what you posted....and my previous post should have said EDGE app not EDEN.. The googleplay app asked me to sign in..I have no clue... too bad because its for Android ...thanks anyhow!

vtcruising Posted November 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 5, 2018 There's going to be an offering onboard for a virtual ship tour I wonder if this is related to the tour app. I also found this so I'm wondering we will wear 3-D glasses: Checking out the 360 degree virtual reality tour of the incredible Celebrity Edge." Maybe these are related - maybe not? It looks interesting! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citruscruiser Posted November 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just received the emails from Celebrity describing this app. It took me awhile to find it and eventually I had Richard Fain standing on my desk. It is a different app from the Celebrity app for checkin and daily activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted November 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Way too complicated. Create an account? Sign in, create another account. Why? Why bother? app deleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citruscruiser Posted November 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I did not need to sign in for the “access tour” app. In order to view the areas on the ship in 3D it appears you need to be on the ship to do. Still figuring out how to get Mr. Fain off my desk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted November 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I broke down and started to downloaded the gen Celeb app to my phone altbough we keep phones off while cruising.. Seems the app will work with my phone..but not the tablet ..It asked for user name and password of which I have no idea.so I just deleted it...not worth it. Sometimes all these tech items are just not worth it..like the alleged Cruise Critic upgrades..lots of glitches! Also the expedited boarding plan now wants you to scan in your passport, upload a photo.. Hope they hired sufficient staff to check in those of us who do not own scanners..or prefer human customer service over self service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted November 21, 2018 #13 Share Posted November 21, 2018 It wouldn't accept my Celebrity username and password, that's why I started over. And, as to having it available on the ship, if you are on the ship, couldn't you just look around for yourself? why would you need a virtual tour?

omarchs Posted November 21, 2018 #14 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Finally loaded on my phone and you click on the Grand plaza and it says to visit the location to enable tour. Some virtual reality tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will work well onboard. 🙂 As do I, but agree with you that everyone will enjoy this new ship with or without the apps. I personally can’t wait for your reports from the 11/25 cruise. We’ll be visiting relatives over in Vero for the weekend and heading to the Hilton Marina on Monday.

It is downloading right now on my iPhone. I couldn't find it in the App Store, because it is listed as Access Tour, rather than Edge or Celebrity.

Rare MVPinBoynton Posted November 21, 2018 #21 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Glad I downloaded it at home, since it loads a bunch of data when you open it, which takes awhile on high speed. It would take a real long time on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
