kitkat343 Posted August 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2022 does the RC app on adventure of the seas have a free way for families to text each other to communicate where they are on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rudeney Posted August 11, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2022 It's not free - you have to pay $1.99 per person per day to use the messaging function within the app. Note that the app does not "push" any notifications - you have to manually check to see if there are any messages. One thing you could try is using the voicemail on your cabin phone. You should be able to use any phone on the ship to call your own cabin and leave and retrieve voicemail. It would be free, and not work too much differently than the messaging in the app in terms of having to check messages periodically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall anyone reporting the ability to retrieve cabin voicemails from anywhere but in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Hog Posted August 11, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Post-it notes on inside of the cabin door worked for us.... but that also isn't free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago I did it on Freedom with help from the concierge. You call your cabin and then when voicemail picks up, you press something like #7 and then dial the password. You have to setup the password from your cabin the first time, or maybe it defaults to something like DOB. This was probably 6 or 7 years ago, so they may have changed phone systems since then. But must PBX phone system have the ability unless it has been disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted August 12, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2022 No ship in the Royal fleet is family friendly for free communications using your personal devices. Royal has monetized the ability to text. That starts with the $2 daily fee per person to use the Royal app for chat and much higher if you want to use an internet based chat or text app on your own devices.

Arguably, NO DEVICES is family friendly.... We're on a cruise. You don't need to be connected to the rest of the world for a few days. Enjoy that. 3 hours ago, twangster said: Royal has monetized the ability to text.

Chat costs $2 per person per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
