Any Limits to connection to Hub App

[VolzCruiser]

I was wondering if there are any limitations to the number of device you can have connected to the Hub App while on ship. I am wanting to use the Hub App on my Ipad so I can look at the Fun Times and on it as it is easier to read but I will want to also use my phone to keep in contact with people I am traveling with on the ship. Hence my question. Thanks in advance.

Nope, not as far as I have read anywhere - it is a free connection, so no point in limiting it, I suppose.

 

Well, there is probably an electronic or software limitation of a billion active connections per ship or something, but that shouldn't be an issue...

It used to be where the user could only be signed into one device at a time. Not sure if they changed it.

sometimes my inlaws had issues. there would be a delay in sending and receiving messages.

Only one device connected at a time to the same folio number but no limit to number of devices at different times.

this is access to the ship wifi for internet access

 

 

for the hub app, to see the fun times, your foilo balance and others you can have any many devices as you want.

Thank you all for the quick answers.

Please make sure you download the app at home before you leave. Painfully slow if you try it on the ship. We found it very use full even though we did not purchase wifi. Fun times, Dining & viewing our photo's. had Ipad and Iphone

[stellarose]

the hub was great. you can see what is open/ closed (food). activities. chat with family and friends. (no wifi needed- to chat they must have hub and paid the 5 bucks for the chat feature).

 

made life so easy for teens and DH and I.

You are limited to one connected at a time per folio number, including the Hub  App.

incorrect information, we had the Hub on 2 iPhones and an iPad. you are just downloading an app, no folio is necessary

You download the Hub APP prior to boarding and simply connect once on board. There is no fee and everyone can download it onto any device(s) they want. This is not a wifi connection (internet) and only has to do with on board information. The only fee involved is $5 if you want the chat feature. Had it on my kindle and phone. Never 'logged' out of either one. Used whichever one I had with me at the moment.

[ElCrappyTan]

And you used the chat feature, viewing charges, on all devices?

How could a family (on one folio) use the chat feature if only one could be logged on at a time? Apparently not the case.

For anything useful, of course there is a wifi connection - you need to set your device to airplane mode and connect to Carnival wifi.

Yes, appearenty the case since each guest has their own folio number regardless of where they stay, who is paying the bill, etc.

 

I understand the app can be installed on multiple devices and logged in off-board. I have it on my iPhone and iPad. However, on board, I can’t use the chat feature of the Hub app on both of my devices at the same time.

 

My God I didn’t realize until now, but as a forum where people come to get information from “experts”, this place really does a disservice to people. I give up.

Yes, Incorrect info. To view your account info, for example, you have to log in and that takes your folio number. Only one device at a time.

Thank you all again. It looks like I will be okay to have my tablet for just reading funtimes and menus and my phone for everything else.

I said it is not a wifi connection as such for INTERNET.

Not understanding your disservice comment as I got an answer to my question. Each family/cabin member has their own folio even if all are on the same "account/credit card". Thus each can be logged on to the chat feature. You just can't chat with yourself on two devices. Lol

There aren't many experts on this forum, just people relating their experiences and opinions.
