Cell phones on airplane mode

[csoud68]

And then use the hub app for reservations and  chat. Is that how it should be done?

Yes, airplane mode shuts off the "cell" radio, then you turn on the phone's WiFi to connect to the ships WiFi to use the app

That's all there is to it.

And you can still scan the QR codes to see the menus

With the Hub app I just clicked on View Menu for whatever dining venue listed, didn't need to scan a QR code last week.

.. and, at least in my case with several different attempts, selecting the VIEW MENU option is much more predictable!

Thats all there is to it.

Well, after you pay $5 for each person for the entire cruise for the "Chat" feature.

Then, you'll discover that "Chat" doesn't work a lot of the time. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. Maybe it will take 6 hours for the "chat" to deliver, maybe it will be immediate. Maybe, you'll find you need to shut down the Hub app and then "Chat" will start working again.

 

That's my experience last week on Freedom anyway.

Sometimes when I clicked the HUB app last week on the Sunrise.....it would just think and not load. So still needed to scan the QR sometimes.

That was our exact experience on Panorama in March.

 

At $5 per person, Carnival and gathered plenty of funds to upgrade their equipment and make the chat work!
