seychelle Posted February 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2022 We've been on Navigator for the last 3 cruises and we usually stopped by Guest Services in the evening to get a Cruise Compass for the next day. Just like to have a printed copy to look at. When we picked one up on Saturday night for yesterday, the last day of the cruise, we were told it's the last one to be printed on Navigator. From now on just the app. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted February 28, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I'm waiting for the "but not everyone has a smart phone" crowd. But, this is news as no one else has reported it so far. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted February 28, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I am definitely old school and enjoy having the compass arrive in my cabin the night before. Sure I use the app but prefer the print out. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ownedbypets Posted February 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I read it every night but it does end up in the garbage by the end of the cruise. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more that I like not carrying my phone around. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted February 28, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 28, 2022 They tried this on Grandeur too but there have been so many complaints ( mostly about not knowing what the dress code was for the evening… let’s be honest it isn’t in the most obvious place in the app!) they they are being handed out again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted February 28, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 28, 2022 DH does not have a smart phone and does use the compass every day. It will be a pain to get him to use my smart phone. However, I can see this is a positive for the planet. However, I will pitch a fit if I still get all of the other printed $hi@. [i.e. art auction, chocolate diamond sales, etc.] I agree there should be a choice. Keep a number of print outs at GS and you have to pick them up if you are old school. 13 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mek Posted February 28, 2022 #17 Share Posted February 28, 2022 My husband and I both have smart phones, but not interested in using the app or carrying my phone around on a ship. Fortunately, I'm not cruising until October, so hopefully enough people complain and by then they will give us a choice. I will happily go to the front desk to pick up a printed copy. I hope in the quest to reduce paper they also stop with the junk mail that immediately goes in the trash in our cabin. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another_Critic Posted February 28, 2022 #20 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Remember that the junk mail is for outsourced vendors (spa, art auction, onboard shops) and most likely print / distribution is part of Royal's revenue stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted February 28, 2022 #21 Share Posted February 28, 2022 On the Mariner 2 weeks ago no Compass unless you went to GS to get one. On the Indy last week one was delivered every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted February 28, 2022 #22 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Will complain to GS and on survey if they are discontinued. We are on Jewel in April. I keep them, scan them into my computer before recycling. I've gone back to them when someone has a question. Also is not as clear or obvious as to what's happening or where things are located. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLP12 Posted February 28, 2022 #23 Share Posted February 28, 2022 They were still using them on Celebrity a few months ago. I have no issues using the App, BUT it's just not the same as sitting out on the balcony with the Compass and highlighting everything that I don't want to miss. I will definitely miss having it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
