curry767 Posted September 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Just boarded the Radiance and I am unable to log my iOS 9 iPhone 6 into the ship wifi. The Front Desk advises that an email has been sent from head office advising that iOS 9 has an issue with the type of wifi used on the RCI ships and won't work until Apple releases a fix. So be warned, don't upgrade if you have an upcoming cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted September 22, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2015 A number of app developers have also reported problems with ios 9. I've received notifications on a few of the apps that I have on my iPad advising not to upgrade until apple fixes the bugs in the new os. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted September 22, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2015 How about making calls/texting outside of the WiFi, is that still working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curry767 Posted September 25, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Further to my last, I have now seen an iPad 2 with iOS9 working onboard the Radiance. So it seems to be more a combination of iOS9 and certain devices. Definitely doesn't work on iPhone 6 as quite a few people have complained to the front desk.

Strange bacause ive been using the beta ios 9 for last 4 months with no problems and now im on public release 9.0 with no problems with multiple apps...how old is your device?Im using ipad air 2 and iphone 6..This is nothing new when a new ios comes out.A lot of times its the app developers that need to make changes to their app not an ios problem specifically.

Rare orville99 Posted September 25, 2015 #13 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I believe a poster above just said they were using a iphone 6 with no problems on ios 9... May be ship dependant. RCL's wifi is very inconsistent between ships, and they just started switching over to a new service provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew, I've upgraded my Air 2 twice (including today's release) and I'm on the Anthem on Monday. So hopefully I'll be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it isn't "billie joe's jumping frogs" type apps, but two major brokerage houses, and two multinational banks that sent me emails not to upgrade until Apple worked out the kinks in their OS.

Dett Posted September 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Apple now has an update to IOS 9. Does anyone know how IOS 9.0.1 works on RCI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curry767 Posted September 26, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted September 26, 2015 'IF' I can get some decent wifi whilst ashore in Moorea I will download 9.0.1 tomorrow and let you know. Just to confirm, nobody with an iPhone 6 that has iOS9.0 onboard the Radiance of the Seas can connect to the ships wifi. I have had no problems with any other wifi connections since moving to iOS9. I can't speak for other ships although the official email from RCI HQ i was shown alluded to a fleet wide problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin Dave Posted September 26, 2015 #18 Share Posted September 26, 2015 There have be several problems with IOS9 and it's being worked on. Even the GPS TomTom app for iPhone isn't working properly. Guess someone must have been asleep when the beta testing was being done. :eek::rolleyes: Keep everyone informed if there are any updates.

curry767 Posted September 30, 2015 Author #19 Share Posted September 30, 2015 So the iOS 9.0.1 update is not for my iPhone 6 so I don't know if that makes any difference. I think RCI tech has been doing some updates as I have now been able to log my iPhone 6 into the ships wifi with no changes on my phone. The front desk knows nothing about any changes so I suspect they are doing some remote work. I can't connect 100% of the time, but it's is getting better each day.

What they really mean is that they did not upgrade their apps for iOS 9. They should have done that during the Beta period. The developers had access to it since June. Apple is not going to do anything to iOS 9 that will fix their apps. They have to fix them. I have one app that does not work. PBS. They will have to fix their app. I have the new phone the 6 S Plus and only found that one bad app so far. My sister has one app, Xfinity TV remote that keeps crashing.

curry767 Posted October 6, 2015 Author #21 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Final post from me. Day 16 on the cruise and everything now seems to be operating normally. I also now have iOS 9.0.2 installed on my iPhone 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CocoCandy Posted January 31, 2016 #23 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I am currently on the Independence of the Seas and I am currently unable to log into ship wifi with my iphone running iOS 9.2. Works fine on my Kindle Fire tablet, but I want to use my phone to access wifi dependent applications on the iphone. Any suggestions for an iphone user would be appreciated. Guest services can't get it to work either. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted February 1, 2016 #24 Share Posted February 1, 2016 When you connect to the "royal-wifi" network on your iPhone, what happens? If you don't get any error (or a login page), try opening Safari and going to google.com. You may be get redirected to the login page then.
