Kaki Posted February 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I know that if you buy an internet plan that only one device at a time can use it for FB, etc. I’m wondering if the HUB app works to communicate between 2 people on the ship without an internet plan? Or, do I need to get 2 plans so we can communicate? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgRockCruiser Posted February 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The HUB app "chat" feature is separate from any other internet plans. Which is why it is a separate charge. From the Carnival website: https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1152 Is the Carnival HUB app free?The App is free to download and use on board. For a small additional fee ($5 USD for the voyage) the HUB App offers chat. The $5 charge is per device, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums You can pay $5 (total, not per day) to have the chat function active on the Hub app. It will let you message anyone on the ship that also has the chat function enables. So, for $10, two people can communicate on the ship using the Hub app. You do not have to purchase any other Internet package to make use of it.

Rare Wanna_Cruize Posted February 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2018 HUB app and internet access are separate things. HUB app gives you access to electronic Fun Times, dinner menus, your account balance, etc. Chat is also available (between family members ON THE CRUISE) via the HUB app, for $5 per person TOTAL Is the Carnival HUB app free? The App is free to download and use on board. For a small additional fee ($5 USD for the voyage) the HUB App offers chat. If you want to chat/message with people at home, THEN you need an internet package.

sun&sea Posted February 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2018 So if two of us in different cabins both have our own internet plan and have iphones, we could just imessage each other. Correct? Or even fb message? Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, if you didn't want to have to get the internet package, you could both purchase the chat option for $5 each and use the HUB app to chat with each other.

Trinam2 Posted February 17, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Anyone have experience with the Social media one? Was curious if it’s worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Builder31 Posted February 17, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Yes, and it will work a lot better than the Hub. Agreed. Get the basic internet plan and use iMessage. Hub chat is marginal at best in my experience. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
