NJEMT29 Posted August 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) We are getting on the Mardi Gras this coming Saturday, 19 August I am debating if I should buy any of the Internet plans we all have iPhones and I’ve been told we could use instant messenger to communicate while we’re on the ship. Do I still need to buy Internet to use instant messenger any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Edited August 15, 2023 by NJEMT29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezal Posted August 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) ios messenger may work, but it's not guaranteed. you can buy just the $5 chat option in the carnival hub, to use while onboard.https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3829/~/stay-connected-via-text!

No internet plan needed. I have found the Chat feature to be unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted August 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It is unintentional by Carnival when it does. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ArmchairQB Posted August 19, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2023 We found that we received notifications (imessage, Office 365 email) without internet. But you can't read them in the apps and you couldn't send. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
