Kurtp13 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I have downloaded the smartphone app prior to our cruise Apr 22 and it looks good. It has menus for the dining places including the MDR. It also has prices for extra charge items both prior to sailing and onboard. Does anyone have any experience using the latest version while on board?

Matt Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Since Symphony is on her first sailing, I doubt there is much first-hand experience of the app on Symphony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Crush Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 You're talking about the Allure of the Seas, though, right? At best, the app was only mildly useful aboard, but it was pretty much garbage. I say that because while it was handy to have the ship maps, cruise compass and all the MDR and specialy restaurant menus (and you don't need a wifi package to use it), that's all it was really good for. And the itinerary on my sailing got shuffled due to the weather, shows got rescheduled, and there were all sorts of changes and NONE of the updates made it to the app. None of them. At that point, it was outright wrong information and useless. Fortunately, there are big touch-screens by all the elevators that were kept up to date and worked very well.

WAAAYTOOO Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I still have not been able to even get the app to open. Maybe it's b/c I am using my ipad instead of iPhone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the iPad that is giving me the trouble. I will chalk it up to some kind of IT incompatibility. On the iPad, it doesn't want to let me sign in. I think I may try deleting the app and reinstalling it. Thanks for trying to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 In my experience so far the on board experience is not different compared to what you can see by selecting any itinerary. However it's a work in progress. Now that you sign it knows who you are. Soon I expect more. By the end of 2019 all ships should be enabled and have more features.

LToman Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I have it downloaded but yet to work. How far in advance of sail date will it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked the app, and I see Allure sailings starting with the Apr 15 sailing, going all the way through the June 17 sailing.

mworkman Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 The app at this stage only gives you snippets of the cruise compass and shows some features of the ship, but it doesn't allow you to set reminders or scheduled dining reservations, show or excursion. Hopefully they will add more features/abilities to it sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
