Does your mother use smartphones or tablets? If she does, you can purchase a VOOM package for 2 devices and keep in touch via Messenger or text.

steverk Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Two good ways to keep in touch: Buy the internet package for the required number of devices Buy the messaging option for the app. DuaneG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go that far that it is not user friendly. The issue is perhaps getting notifications when you aren't actively using your phone, but when we tested it out on a cruise earlier this season, it worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Alt Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 you have to pay extra for messaging on the Royal app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. $1.99 per day and you must be in the same reservation or your reservations have to be linked for it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 1.99 per person per day. you can do the old fashioned way. Leave a sticky note on the door. The only issue might be if you decide to leave “trivia” and go to a different event without an update on the sticky note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the one on celebrity (I assume it's the same as royal) and it was great. No problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
