Murl Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Wondering if a chat feature becomes available once connected to ship wifi? Reading online that some ships have it while others do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffrobyn Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'm trying to figure this out also. Everything I'm seeing points to NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 The answer is not yet. Eventually it will, but not right now. tiffrobyn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 So is the only way to text family with a voom package? I was on Harmony two years ago and they offered a cheap texting plan, I think around $8-10 a person for week that just allowed texting, is that still offered? Going on Symphony this June and was really hoping the family could just use the app while on board to keep in touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is supposed to be come at some point in the future but there is no published scheduled for when it will come to Symphony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogfanatic Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 I can concur with the others. I just got off Symphony this past Saturday and without the internet package, you cannot text others through the app. In my post-cruise survey I encouraged RC to have this feature. It would be tremendously helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 The app will eventually have a texting feature. Should be here this year. Frankly, I'm surprised it isn't out yet on Symphony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royalpain Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I am going on the Symphony of the Seas in July and hoping that they have texting by then, but, it doesn't look promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsweat22 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Slightly changing topics...but any clue as to when it will be available on Anthem? I find it hard to believe their newer ships don't all have this ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
