KrakedMask Posted September 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I will be on the Sunrise from 11/2-11/7 with 11 others. We all plan on paying for the Carnival messenger app for the duration of the trip. With this in mind what do we have to do with out phones? We all have an iPhone so is it as simple as disabling the cellular data and leaving wifi on or do we need to put into Airplane mode and then turn wifi on when we wanna use it or can we leave wifi on the whole time onboard?

five. Posted September 25, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The app on Horizon last year was stellar. On Magic last week it was subpar for messaging and general hub use. We both had iphones and ran into lots of crashes and very few hub texts worked seamlessly. Two or three times it worked correctly. The rest of the time, the app had crashed in the background and we wouldn't see new messages until realizing it had crashed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe817 Posted September 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Perhaps this can answer many of your questions and concerns. This thread was started last week: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoc2007 Posted September 26, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I dont have an Iphone. However on my last cruise a few weeks ago, we met a couple who were using I-Message to communicate between each other. Airplane Mode = On & Wi-Fi = On. They did not purchase any additional Chat/Internet services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five. Posted September 26, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I can't say that we even tried to send iMessages between each other. But I know I didn't receive any of the 60 I had waiting upon my arrival back on land. I could try a test at home tonight, but I have never heard of this and I feel like it would be prevalent on the boards if it worked. iMessage is so much better than hub app chat. Has anyone else ever heard of this setup working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh2 Posted September 26, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Imessaging seems to work for me. I do also get the social media package so not sure if it has something to do with this or just works on its own. I can Imessage those on ship and also at home.
