MikeSD Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I'll be cruising on Harmony of the Seas in the next month and wanted to get some recent feedback on the chat feature of the RC Anchor app? Anyone used/try to use this feature in the past few months? Would love to hear your experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Used it back in March on Harmony and it worked reasonable well. Unless things have changed, the biggest issue was lack of notifications unless you opened the app. Also a slight learning curve in adding people. Once you added a person they have to approve you adding them before messages could be sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leealdo Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Me and my family used the chat feature last week on Harmony and it worked great. Notifications worked fine and we also liked the reminders that popped up for things we had booked into our cruise calendar. Given the size of Harmony the chat feature is an excellent addition.

Jedi Jason Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 It worked pretty well including notification just a couple of weeks ago. The one quirk is I would have missed messages that it wouldn't display. If you are not on the ship's WIFI which is free for using the app. I had an occasional message that didn't come through. However, I got the notifications almost always from the app for an upcoming event or reservation as well as notification of a new chat message. I would get them on my iPhone and or apple watch. Naturally I did not get any when I was off the ship but they did not queue up and save them to be delivered when I returned. They would be listed as an unread message count but you could never view them. Overall, it was really good especially with the notifications but there was the occasional missed message that was never delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
