Does NCL have a feature like Carnival's "Currently Onboard"?

Hello, all. This will be our first time on NCL. When we have been on Carnival, we have used the "Currently Onboard" feature within CCL's "Welcome to Funville/Forums" to send free emails back and forth to family. Does NCL have anything like this?

Thank you.

No they don't - the closest one is the iConcierge App, but that is only for use among passengers on board (texting), and you have to pay a smaller one-time-fee to text.

Not for free, for sure.

 

They have internet you can buy, but not send home freebies.

Thank you both. I don't have a smart phone, so I guess I will just call on my basic phone from ports or pay for internet.

for onboard communication with fellow passengers... use ripple... it connects to ship's WIFI but you don't need to pay anything for this.

 

you can download this app on your smartphone.

Thank you for the info on ripple. Does it work on all cruise lines?
