Ship mate app

[Coach9]

Do any of you guys know anything about the shipmate app.   Are you able to communicate with each other on the ship using their messenger part of the app?

You could but you'd still need Voom internet to do so.  It won't work without an internet connection.

So technically, those is no way to communicate with each other on a royal Caribbean cruise shit unless you all purchase the full boom package?

There are two ships in which the chat feature on the app works, but unless you are on either of those (Allure and Harmony, I think?), then it's the old-fashioned way - leaving notes or messages on the stateroom phone.

Just think back 30 years and do what you would have done then. Its great.

I tried WhatsApp and instant messenger on Allure, neither would work without the voom, both phones were IOS.

Problem is, 30 years ago ships were not 3+ football fields long.  It is a long trip across the ship to drop off a note.
