Florida Paesano Posted January 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi Butterbean1000 - No, you do not need to purchase a Wi-Fi package in order to use the hub app. The hub app is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam_Eagle Posted January 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2018 The Hub app works free off of the ship's WiFi. If you want to use the chat feature of the Hub app, it's $5 per cruise per device. If you don't want to use the chat feature, the rest of the Hub app is free Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djg30084 Posted August 14, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I don't want to use my "real" cellphone on the ship, because of the risk of "de-airplane mode", and because it's expensive. I just ordered this $10 phone to use aboard the ship: https://shop.straighttalk.com/shop/en/straighttalk/phones/alcatel-onetouch-reg%3B-pixi-avion-lte-trade%3B%28a571vl%29-stala571vcp-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it also be used for the $5 texting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptEZ2Like Posted August 26, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Anyone have detailed instructions for putting Carnival Hub app on a MacBook? Have tried BlueStacks and Google Play and apparently am not smart enough. Says "not compatible with my device". Although I have the Hub on an iPod (easy to carry) and an iPhone 8 Plus (not easy to carry), I'd like to be able to use my MacBook aboard ship to get mail. Have a "Value" WiFi plan.

Have a "Value" WiFi plan.Thanks I'm not familiar with Macbooks or iOS, but my hunch is that it's not possible. The Hub app is a mobile app designed for smartphones (but will work on tablets), not computers. Mobile apps and computer programs are programmed differently. Unless there's a way to run a simulated environment on the Macbook, in which it'll trick the app into thinking it's a mobile device and not a computer, I don't see how it's possible.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Hahaha, I completely glanced over WHY he wanted the Hub app on the Macbook. You're correct, the Hub app doesn't even have the ability to check email. As you stated, he simply needs to connect to the ship's network using the Value plan he's getting, and then he can read his emails Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOOLBEANS Posted August 28, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 28, 2018 What exactly is the chat feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Eagle Posted August 28, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 28, 2018 What exactly is the chat feature?Think of it like an in-app text feature. The feature allows you to chat (text) with others on board that have also paid the $5 for the feature. You must know the number of the person you want to chat with. If I recall correctly, it's a 4 digit number that you're assigned when you enable the feature. Note: for security reasons, minors can only chat with their parents, nobody else Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
