TampaFLCruiser Posted July 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2018 What is the deal w using the new app & being able to use your phone to text other guest. I thought it wasn’t rolled out on the Oasis yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshirt Posted July 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2018 It’s not as far as I know. The new Royal app does include Oasis but does not include any messaging capability. Not sure if or when it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted July 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Only Royal IQ has texting. It only works on Harmony and Quantum class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetwhiz Posted July 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2018 There are five ships on the new app. The plans are to have messaging with it according to a RC employee who is on the team developing the new app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted July 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The plans are to have messaging with it according to a RC employee who is on the team developing the new app. That (along with other features) has been the official line from RCI since the app was announced more than a year ago - the issue at this point is, when?

Rare h20skibum Posted July 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2018 There are five ships on the new app. The plans are to have messaging with it according to a RC employee who is on the team developing the new app. I could have swore that when I opened the app a few days ago, it also listed Mariner. You also didn’t have to log in. Now it is back to just the five ships, and you have to log in. Maybe they released too early and rolled it back. I was hoping Indy would show up, since that is the next two we have after Harmony. Maybe Mariner and Indy next since they just had major refurbs.

That’s what I asked him. He sounded like by years end. I have his email. I think I’ll write. I told him that other than a website that is reliable, passengers have been promised an app that works with texting for a long time. Heck, Carnival has had that a good while with a $5 fee for the week to text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well ask when the rest of the ships will get the app - seems to be a lengthy pause (3+ months) in deployment to any other ships.

Once inside 2 months from sailing, you can look at that info even before getting on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
