jbecker6469 Posted April 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2017 This is not new. Used it onboard the Oosterdam Nov 2016 and K'dam Jan 2017. Put iPhone in Airplane mode, turn on WiFi and access via browser. Worked fine, most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenfroggie Posted April 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2017 This seems very behind the times? On my last Princess cruise the app also had a passenger to passenger messenger function. That was incredibly useful. I don't know what their target is here but it seems like if they're advancing why not go all the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare debsjc Posted April 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Does anyone know if it works on i-phones please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare richwmn Posted April 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Does anyone know if it works on i-phones please? It is essentially a web site, so it will work on anything with a web browser. Any type of phone, tablet, laptop etc. Nothing is downloaded or installed on the local device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what Princess has, but if it is an actual app (downloaded from google play or itunes and installed) it would be easier to incorporate messaging. What HAL is doing is just a local (on ship) web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What HAL is doing is just a local (on ship) web site. Princess is an app, but it only works on the boat over the ship's wifi (still free for this service). You sign in with your name and cabin # etc. But all the schedules etc pull you to a static webpage. http://www.princess.com/ships-and-experience/onboard-experience/activities/princess-at-sea/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
