Grandma Dee Posted April 4 Author #3 Share Posted April 4 Can you text to other members of your party on the ship without being hooked to WiFi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted April 4 #4 Share Posted April 4 Yes, but you will be paying your cellular provider's "roaming" rate while connected to Cellular at Sea. There is a chat feature, via the app, that works without a Voom package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you need to be connected to wifi to use the free RC messaging tool in the app. But you do not need to buy an internet plan to use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvbrady Posted April 4 #6 Share Posted April 4 I have had no problem texting while in airplane mode after purchasing the WIFI. YES you can 'chat' via the Royal app, but there are no notifications and we have experienced significant delays in messages being delivered/read. Just my 2 cents.

SRF Posted April 9 #10 Share Posted April 9 On 4/4/2024 at 2:16 PM, luvbrady said: but there are no notifications This seems to have changed. We cruised in Dec and would text through the app (sharing one internet connection) and we both got notifications of messages. And no delays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
