Cell phones in Adventure Ocean

[huntr104]

I was wondering if the kids are allowed to use their cell phones while in Adventure Ocean in case my wife and I need to contact them or vice versa thru the Royal App messaging feature?  Thanks.

FYI, to be able to use the App messaging feature, they need to be at least 13 years old.

What's wrong with calling Adventure Ocean if needed? There are phones all over the ship.

This is a very interesting question. And I don’t have the answer, when mine were young enough for adventure, ocean cellular phones had yet to be invented. In those days they gave the  parents beepers.

I can't answer the question as asked, but AO does have phones available for parents if you really need to stay in that close of contact.

Thanks everyone.  My son is 13 and daughter is 10 (she does not have a phone)  I was just curious because it's a new feature to us and wondered how they handled cell phones.  I've never worried about them being at AO but wanted to prepare ourselves for the "I'm bored" or "Can you come get us" messages.  lol.

I'm not worried about checking on them.  I'm wondering how many texts I'll be getting from them.  lol

The 13 yr old can come and go as they please.  You can give the 10 yr old the ability to check out if you want to.
