Clio1610 Posted June 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Does anybody else like to track where their favourite RCI ship is ? 5 days ago I got my first ever iPhone - and now I am completely addicted to Shipmate !!! And there is an Android version too ! Does make me drool tho when I can track where the beautiful Indy is at the touch of a button :D Am losing hours and hours of my life on Shipmate !!!

JAMESCC Posted June 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah I am obsessed as well, I hate to admit it but I am. I check where "Explorer" is everyday. Its a cool app. overall, there's a similar app. for Walt Disney World. Obviously Disney doesn't move around like a ship, but its massive amounts of info on the park and where every single thing is in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just The 3 Of Us Posted June 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2012 My hubby has that on his IPhone and is currently tracking Oasis before that was the Adventure - also has a countdown clock for how many days until we board... Pretty cool feature. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffinater Posted June 21, 2012 #10 Share Posted June 21, 2012 While I enjoy cruising and it is my vacation of choice unless I am on it I really don't care where a ship is nor do I want to watch it sail down an inlet. For those that do...have at it.:D Now back to the bottled water thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or watching the fantastic Port Webcams of PTZtv ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethco Posted June 22, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Put a space between ship and mate. I just put in ship mate royal and it came up telling me that it is already installed on my phone. All of others seem to come up with shipmate but this one seems to like ship mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worn out mailman Posted June 22, 2012 #15 Share Posted June 22, 2012 The Princess one is better, as it has the bridge cam option. If you have a Princess cruise coming up, you can see what the people on board can see when looking forward. I wish the RCCL Shipmate ap had this feature.

Not really sure why there are no other webcams for the rest of the RCI fleet ? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it tracks the ship, and as I said earlier, some of the ships have bridge cams that you can access using the app. Mighty cool, esp. in the weeks and days as your cruise approaches.

precious89904600 Posted June 25, 2012 #22 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I know this is a dumb question but the ship mate app is that only for iphone and mobile phones? Is there a web site on my lap top that I can track to watch:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really track RCCL ships? Carnival and Princess have active bridge cams but not so much with RCCL. I'm not sure I'm aware of active webcams on any other RCCL ship other than Oasis or Allure and they don't provide the ship's position. RCCL appears to be much more concerned about security.

bbbearden Posted June 25, 2012 #24 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Here is another great ship tracking web site. You can track all ships in an area or search for a specific ship. http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/ I really enjoyed this, and on a bridge tour learned that the ships have a versions of AIS that is actually used onboard. That was cool, and I could talk about the system with the officer giving the tour, it was neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
