BuckeyeMan Posted December 24, 2017 #26 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Unlikely the app will be ready for Serenade by Feb. It is showing the next two serenade sailings. Showing ports and daily events. Nice app. Would be so much nicer with messaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted December 24, 2017 #27 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Unlikely the app will be ready for Serenade by Feb. Available on Serenade with the v1.3 update about a week ago. But, the texting functionality will likely take several months. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted January 23, 2018 #29 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The app was updated to V1.4 and Enchantment was added to the list of ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 13, 2018 #30 Share Posted March 13, 2018 V 1.6 added Symphony - though no sailings showing. It will be interesting to see if Symphony will also have Royal IQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melwolf Posted March 17, 2018 #32 Share Posted March 17, 2018 V 1.6 added Symphony - though no sailings showing. It will be interesting to see if Symphony will also have Royal IQ. Just called Royal Caribbean and they said that the Symphony of the Seas will have the Royal IQ app, fyi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 18, 2018 #33 Share Posted March 18, 2018 ^ seems the app developers had a bad day - V 1.6.1 came out yesterday and removed Symphony. Also, Serenade doesn't have the current sailing listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSHAH Posted March 18, 2018 #34 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Interesting to see that every Flowrider session is listed as $69 and needing a reservation. Lots of good info overall, though I have found a bug already - location of ship and Nav marker don't match on the map. This confused me so much. "Since when did they start charging for the flowrider. $69 each time?!". Had to go digging to see you meant for lessons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 18, 2018 #35 Share Posted March 18, 2018 This confused me so much. RCI is sometimes confusing - I was just listing what the app showed. Sometimes one has to use the info in the app in conjunction with info from here to get to the real facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 27, 2018 #36 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Another small update V 1.6.2 to re-add Symphony. It will be interesting to see from first cruisers if Royal IQ is also available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 27, 2018 #37 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Another small update V 1.6.2 to re-add Symphony. It will be interesting to see from first cruisers if Royal IQ is also available. Still no texting with the RCI App? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 27, 2018 #38 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Still no texting with the RCI App? No real functionality upgrades since inception -just ships being added. The x-ray vision thing added with the addition of Symphony yesterday might be something new. The app is a very good reference to answer lots of questions being asked on CC - all the way down to pricing details (and menu) in Chops per ship.

It will be interesting to get feedback on the menu pricing function to see how accurately the app prices match the ship prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 27, 2018 #40 Share Posted March 27, 2018 It will be interesting to get feedback on the menu pricing function to see how accurately the app prices match the ship prices. Not sure one can assume the app gets its prices from the ship or if Miami dictates the prices and so it's easier to integrate that to the app (which could still be changed by the ship). That's the diff with Royal IQ so far - Royal IQ seemed to be much more integrated on the ship and assume with its data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 28, 2018 #41 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The addition of Symphony seems to have extended the number of sailings available in the app. While in the past the app usually showed sailings about two weeks out, Allure and Symphony now show sailings for the next two months.

Ocean Boy Posted March 28, 2018 #42 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Do you think this app is going to be extended to the entire fleet considering how many sailings are being added to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 28, 2018 #43 Share Posted March 28, 2018 That's what RCI says - the only issue seems to speed at which new ships and features are being added. Not sure what it will mean if Symphony has both apps (it would be the only ship to do so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cayman1 Posted March 28, 2018 #44 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Seems RCI is so far behind in technology. Nice to see the website getting a facelift, yet many features that were there are now gone. Hope they catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icsys Posted March 28, 2018 #45 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) V 1.6 added Symphony - though no sailings showing. It will be interesting to see if Symphony will also have Royal IQ. It is a bit confusing but as the Royal IQ app and the new RCI Smartphone app (believed to be Excalibur) are two separate apps I can't see Symphony getting the IQ. Royal IQ (launched in 2014) available for Quantum, Anthem, Ovation and Harmony. RCI Smartphone app (launched in 2017) currently available for Allure, Oasis, Serenade, Enchantment and Symphony. Maybe there's a theme going on? The new website has less features and the new app has less features although it promises to have lots more functionality and be fleetwide by the end of 2019.

The RCI CSRs seem to insist that Symphony will have Royal IQ as well - we'll know by this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icsys Posted March 29, 2018 #47 Share Posted March 29, 2018 The latest RCI Smartphone app update suggests several new functions for Symphony: -Access to improved guest accounts -Can make reservations for specialty dining restaurants -May now take advantage of the app’s online check-in functionality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 29, 2018 #48 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I looked at a couple of sailings and could not find how to do any of that. Maybe the functionality somehow changes on the ship. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 30, 2018 #49 Share Posted March 30, 2018 A bit weird that entering the app a few hours later, the app now asks for a login- with that addition the previous features may be available to those on a specific sailing Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosecitycruisers Posted March 30, 2018 #50 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I just opened it, signed in, ask for my reservation(Oasis 10/27) said too far out try again at a closer date. before it was updated it would only show the current & next 2 sailing for select ships which I think were Enchantment, Serenade, Allure & Oasis.
