FionaMG Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 I was just allaying cruise withdrawal (as you do ) by playing around with the app this morning and on Symphony I came across an addition that jumps right out at you on the front page: a tab with a little red ball and the words "Learn about safety at sea". When you click on it opens up a page with a short video demonstration of how to put on your life jacket along with other "muster-type" information. It piqued my curiosity enough to check every other ship on the app and Symphony is the only one to have this. I'm probably overthinking it, but I couldn't help wondering if that might be a tenuous indication that they are planning the re-start with Symphony. Apologies in advance if someone else has already posted about this but I don't remember seeing any mention of it before.

Was hoping it might just need a real reservation to pull up on a different ship, but alas it’s not there for our August Harmony cruise. I can see it if I pop into a random symphony sailing and see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew72681 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Just had a thought, but think I just talked myself out of it. They could use the app to push a muster information notification to every cell phone connected to the ship’s WiFi. But then I remembered that since phones still work on day 1 almost no one connects to the ships WiFi as it’s slower than OTA networks. One solution would be giving everyone free WiFi on day 1 so you’d be able to track who completed the muster training. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a booking on Symphony myself, and my Harmony booking is too far in the future to be showing on the app yet. I was just looking at random stuff and happened to notice it. I wondered if it was connected with the e-muster thing I remember reading about. Ogilthorpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leroyr55 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Does anybody use the IPad app? It does not give you any information on your cruise. Just says we’re working on the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be mis-remembering but I think I read that you can connect to the app without paying for WiFi, which would actually make your idea a feasible possibility, I would think. Anyone with a smartphone could do the e-muster which would significantly reduce the numbers of those having to attend in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My August Symphony has the "safety" link and my September Liberty cruise does not have the link but does allow you to open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Interesting. I checked again and now that link is appearing on my Sept. Liberty sailing, too. It wasn't there 30 minutes ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedNoodles Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 I can't even see any cruises on the app past the Brilliance canceled cruise. I remember where I used to be able to find "other booked sailings" but I can't find it there anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the sailing details should be "Select a different sailing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are all showing up in the app but when I try and click on them I get the message “We’re working on the fun”. The only cruises that I am actually able to “open” are my August Symphony and September Liberty. SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without WiFi-assist on (where LtE connections help out with slow WiFi) joining the WiFi cuts off the usable connection. ehw51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
