brphares Posted September 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2019 My girlfriend and I are going on the Allure of the Seas in a couple weeks and enjoy playing Pokémon Go. We have the unlimited internet, any tips or tricks for those that like to play, or any way to find groups of other players? Stops or gyms on the boat?

Rare Drock20J Posted September 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I have never seen any gyms or stops on any of the ships I have been on. Different ports do have them, but not the ships. Also, when you are in the middle of the ocean, there will be nothing out to catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurora_borealis Posted September 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Moving objects don't get stops because they're not in fixed locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodgem Posted September 24, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 24, 2019 No stops on ships. If you are very lucky might be able to spin a land based stop from the ship, when the ship is docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sikegrad Posted September 24, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2019 When the ship is docked, you may see some spawns nearby. I don't remember any stops or gyms being in proximity of the ship where you can still use Voom though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenf22 Posted September 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2019 You can use an incense while you're cruising and Pokemon will pop up in the ocean. We didn't have any problems when we were on Allure last year, but when we on our Med cruise earlier this year we kept getting "soft banned" in the game. The ship's Wifi had us in the port in Barcelona. When we switched to our cell network in port the game banned us because we switched countries in a short period of time. We ended up banned for 30 minutes to a couple of hours. In the future we're not going to turn on the game when we're close to a port to avoid this. The ban was super frustrating to our son - you can see Pokemon but everything runs when you try to catch them. He had a shiny run and was pretty upset! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted September 24, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Shocked that this old fad is still around. Thought it died a quiet death years ago. OP what is your itinerary? You can check for the ports for any pokemon gyms and spots there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharktums Posted September 24, 2019 #10 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Also a Pokemon Player here and can confirm some of what's above. - Nothing will spawn in the ocean when you are traveling unless you use incense. - No stops or gyms ON the boat. - Using wifi or data you'll be able to play in different ports. - In some ports I was able to reach a stop or gym from the boat! - If you have a sea day you will NOT get to spin a stop or gym so be prepared to miss a day on any streaks or research you have.

Great list Can I add you can give research in but not complete any on a sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharktums Posted September 25, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2019 ^Thanks! You can complete if you have some 'saved up', but I meant more you won't be able to spin and get anything new or if you have a task to spin a stop 7 days in a row or anything that won't be able to happen and you'll have to start over.
