fsuhockette Posted December 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Does Allure have a way to text with other guests aboard? Trying to decide if its worth getting the internet package for our kids to keep in touch with us or if there's a free option through the app. The reps say no but I swear I've seen it on here that there is something available. If it is available - how does it work? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I believe Allure is one if the ships that has a free chat feature with the Royal Caribbean International App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted December 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We used the app on the Allure in October. Only drawback is that there is no notification that you have a message if you are not logged into the app. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted December 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) On board now and the Royal app works just fine for messaging. As long as you open the app once on board it will remain in the background. I did receive notifications and if I had my phone off I received the notifications once I turned my phone back on. It looks like Royal has imprivrd the texting since it was first rolled out. Edited December 27, 2018 by Ourusualbeach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point yes, but not now, and the cruise line has not publicly released a rollout schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sailed on her in March and while the app was usable they had not added the chat feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
