Checking in 6 ppl for dinner on app

[Angiem]

I am not a first time cruiser however I want to learn how to check 6 ppl from different cabins in for dinner together.  Do all 6 ppl have to have the app?  Or just one of each couple? Any help is appreciated.  Sailing this Saturday

They need to be on your friends you are sailing with list on the Carnival app.

 

There is an area on the web site with your booking information where you can put the names of the people you are sailing with. Then, they will all show up on your Hub App in the chat feature. When you go to check in, you just click all the names and the message will go out when your table is ready. You only have like 10 minutes to show up and the reservation goes away.

Are you all listed as cruising companions?  If not, log in to your carnival account, go to Manage your Booking, and then to Booking and Order Detail.  Scroll down to the section that says Your Cruise Companions.  There will be a place to send an email to your friends to allow them to be your Cruise Companions.  Once onboard, when you go to check in for a table, it should list all of the people under your room as well as your cruise companions, you can choose all or some depending on who is planning to eat together at that time.  

 

For example, we were cruising with another couple and ate dinner together every night.  For breakfast, we were able to choose that it was just the two of us if they wanted to do something different or not have breakfast at all.  Not everyone has to have the app although it is nice for each person to be able to look at the menus or schedule of events from their own devices.

 

We usually only had one person per couple with the chat feature however.

Thank you so so much.  I was unaware of the companion thing. It's the same with us. Only one person per couple will have the app. Thanks again

Thanks byrdbrain55. I thought "companion" meant my roommate. This is good to know.
