Does the app have messaging?

I haven't sailed since cruise lines started using apps, so I don't know what to expect.  I saw that another line had a message feature in their app, is that available with Carnival's?

It is for a 5 dollar charge per person for the duration of the cruise. Works reasonably well, at least it did for me.

Yes, the HUB app has a messaging feature.  It is $5 per device (not per day, but for the entire cruise).  You need to leave the app open in the background in order to get notifications.  It works reasonably well, although we have had a couple of instances of messages taking some time to deliver.

If you have an internet plan, do you still need to pay the $5??

Messaging is extra, regardless of purchase of an internet plan.

If you can use other messaging methods, then you do not need to use the HUBApp chat tool.

 

If you do not like to use other methods, then it appears you still need to pay $5 per device for the Chat tool.

Thank you, this was helpful. I'll  use the hub app.
