Will be more interested in checking it out further in another six weeks. No telling what will be requirements by then...as Covid protocol seems to be ever changing.

Ok, just noticed that when I typed chips, a french fry emoji popped up 🍟 😱 Hmmm...OK. Will ask for it on the side then. But no way...no how ..will I let them put that "Champagne sauce" on my lobster. 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been that way on all of the sailings we have done this year (Adventure, Freedom, Mariner). You just logon to the Royal-WiFi or whatever it is on the given ship, and click the use the app for free icon without buying a package. Then iMessage works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend was on Mariner for Labor day and was able to iMessage people at home. Couldn't facetime or face call. And if I'm remembering right she got photos but couldn't send them. None of us on the ship with her had an iPhone so it was all messages home. I tried facebook messenger and that did not work. I didn't bother to try whatsapp or something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted October 4, 2021 Author #393 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Laura was successful in moving us from MTD to first seating. Table 266 I think. Actually ran into our MDR waiter from test cruise MDR. He actually recognized us first, then I saw the name tag and remembered him. I kept calling him Donut 🍩 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime till 2019, this used to work and then for a while most reports had that "feature" cut off. The texting option within the RCI app may have forced RCI to open some avenue for at least iMessage texts to get through. The question is, like last time this worked, do text messages from apps like Google Voice also get through. Also, last time, the texts getting through were limited to ships with O3B internet, now it may be fleet wide.
