mousecrazy Posted November 23, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Is iConcierge functioning on the Star? Yes, it's available. However, not all parts of it are functioning. You can review your account, but you can't check restaurant availability or make reservations. I thought the coverage was pretty good although we did experience a few dropped signals. I thought it was worth the $7.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggerfan616 Posted November 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Yes my husband and son used it last week, we mainly use it for the texting portion so we can find out where he is and remind him about what time to be back for dinner. My husband said it worked much better then when they used it on the Breakaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob brown Posted November 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 24, 2015 RCI has a similar app on their newest ships...."royal iq". I used it on the Quantum of the Seas...it has a 'free area' for on board information, and a 'paid area' for on board communications, etc....

Beaver1975 Posted November 24, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Yes my husband and son used it last week, we mainly use it for the texting portion so we can find out where he is and remind him about what time to be back for dinner. My husband said it worked much better then when they used it on the Breakaway If the texting truly works that would be great. That function did not work well on the a Getaway a couple of weeks ago.

Cruzin416 Posted November 25, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2015 If you download the app, do you need to sign up on the ship or does it charge your account automatically when you get on board? And is it $7.95 for the week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver1975 Posted November 25, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) If you download the app, do you need to sign up on the ship or does it charge your account automatically when you get on board? And is it $7.95 for the week? All signup/registering is through the app. It is free to use for everything except the messaging and phone functions, that is what the $7.95 fee is for. That fee is per phone and for the entire cruise. We were charged $7.95 for our 12 day cruise a couple of weeks ago. P.S. make you sure you download the app before boarding.

SoLetsCruise Posted December 1, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2015 My daughter and I used it on the Star last week. We texted without problems, so it was good for that and your total account balance. The daily activities were posted on the app, but we found that there were some differences in times from what was on the daily paper, and some programs were changed. For instance, there was supposed to be a Cake Masters activity which was listed on one, but it said Paella cooking thing on the other. A class I wanted to do was listed at 9:45 on one and 10am on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpyNor Posted December 1, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Yes, it's available. However, not all parts of it are functioning.

I thought it was worth the $7.95. I am pretty certain we used the iConcierge for restaurant reservations on board the Star in June this year??? That was shortly after the ship came out of dry dock, so maybe they have reduced the iConcierge service since then, because of technical problems or something similar (just guessing)...

I thought it was worth the $7.95. Restaurant availability was working on our cruise on Nov 15th. I wish you had the ability to view the restaurant menus from the app. We didn't use the texting/calling portion, only the free stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtana Posted December 2, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Ron, do you by chance have a complete listing of the Captain and other officers and managers names onboard the Star. We are in it on Dec. 13th and always like to know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
