Surprised about Connie as she is yet to go through her ‘Revolution .’ I’m hopeful that all ships will have the App working when they come out of dry dock.

If you haven't already, try logging out of the app (actually logging out, not just closing th app), remove temporary data/cache (if on Android), and then logging in to the app again. I have done that before, and after the renewed login, a lot more info loaded in the app. Also, make sure your "Daily Planner" filter is set to "Show All" instead of "Recommended". The filter must be changed again after logging out and in. Edited September 25, 2019 by mikkelhansen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, thanks for your tips but despite logging out and back in and checking the filter to ensure “show all” is activated still no updates beyond day 1 and Celebrity Excursions, so annoying !

I have exactly the same issue; only day 1 activities and Celebrity's own excursions for all days are visible - but my cruise isn't until December, so it's strange that you don't see anything else with less than a week to embarkation.

Louhut1 Posted September 26, 2019 #31 Share Posted September 26, 2019 You don’t get the correct info until about a week before your cruise. I had ordered several excursions and several were not on the app until about a week before our cruise. It was pretty good once you were on the ship. Enjoyed the app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenmary Posted September 26, 2019 #33 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I used the APP on Edge. Downloaded it in advance and used it to check-in in advance. You can take a picture of all guests ready for the Seapass cards and security and add personal data so you don't have to do that on embarkation and as Concierge we got expedited arrival so the only queue we had was for the security bag scanners. Easy. I found there was very little I could see or do in the app for onboard planning in advance, but once connected to the onboard wifi it was all synced immediately. Note that you do NOT need an INTERNET package, but you can connect to the onboard wifi and it asks if you want to buy Internet package, or just use it for the APP features which is free. I found my iPhone 7 only worked properly with the app if I disabled mobile data so it was not trying to use mobile broadband. If you use airplane mode as suggested in an earlier post this will switch off the wifi on your phone so the app will not work at all. When in port and off ship I switched mobile data back on, but this seemed to limit the functionality of the app. I tried setting the app to allow my phone to open the room door, but for me it did not work with iPhone 7. I intended to ask at the iLounge, but it was always busy when I passed by. I managed to use the APP to book a specialty restaurant on board without difficulty, and it was easy to put onboard events into your personal planner so you don't have to scroll down the whole daily list to find what you want. You do have to constantly press the refresh button in the app. Drag the daily planner up and refresh is top right. Then any changes will be synced to the app. If you have any doubts - do try it. We found it very useful. Happy app-ing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon901 Posted September 26, 2019 #34 Share Posted September 26, 2019 On the messaging feature, can you ONLY message people on your reservation? Or can you "add" other users outside your reservation to stay in touch? Also, is there a group messaging function (we are travelling with two other couples)? Thanks!

My info on the app was limited, but my sister saw everything. I ended up uninstalling the app, then reinstalling it.. Now I have all the information. Also, instead of looking at the day planner, go to the ship icon and select the category you want (i.e. the ship icon, then dining, then mdr.... or the ship icon, then entertainment, then shows and movies..) everything is listed for each day and time that way..you may have to swipe to the left to see more days.

minikiss Posted September 30, 2019 #39 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I hope it works better than the RCCL one ( it appears to work on the same platform). some parts were ok and very useful. But the daily planner of events were screwed up. Just off the indy and had it on several devices in our party. a couple of devices the line up matched the compass but other didn't. one night it showed a film and 2 DIFFERENT acts all in the theatre over lapping each other. in the end only used it for the menus and account as it could not be trusted.

jamer Posted October 2, 2019 #40 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Have a smart phone and app is on it right now. Since cruise date is 50+ away, I'll deal with updates later (I hope). I am not a techie, so when a page gets changed, I am really searching , but. I have a question...I will be taking my tablet along for reading material (books etc), will the tablet connect to the ship app? Bigger screen to view "things" seems to help this days. No I am not getting old, just smart enough to realize with age there is wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upwarduk Posted October 2, 2019 #43 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I have downloaded the app, but cannot use it, when trying to link my reservation, it says: ‘Sorry we have hit a snag.’ a) Is this because Silhouette is not linked until after her renovations b) the cruise is too far out ( cruising on 1st August 2020) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted October 2, 2019 #44 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Probably waaaay too far out. It will undergo many upgrades between now and then, too, I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the ship has her renovations they do not show up. I have a few bookings that don't show up. All o my booking with ships that have not been through renovation do not show. The Cruise date - August 2020 should not be an issue I show reservations on Millennium for a 1/15/2021 and 1/31/2021 cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenmary Posted October 3, 2019 #47 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Turtles06 is correct, Silhouette is not yet supported on the app. Have a look at the app details on the Apple app store or Google Play and it gives you quite a lot of information about what ships are supported, what facilities are available, how to connect, and what devices/ OS versions are supported. So for jamer, yes you can use a tablet if it has a supported OS version, e.g. for Apple devices iOS 11.0 or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
