Royal IQ text and voice messages

[Brazilian_sailor]

It still not clear to me if the text and voice messages (between members of the same cabin) are being charged at QOS.

If yes, how much is this charge?

If i choose to pay for the internet service, it will be automatically included?

On the 11/23 and 12/1 sailings it was being offered for free. When they do decide to charge if they stick to the current plan it will be $14.99 per person regardless of if they are in the same cabin. It is not included in the Internet package so if you have two people it will likely be cheaper (and more reliable) to just get the multi device package and use iMessages or some other land based messaging service. On both of our sailings it was incredibly unreliable, unusable the majority of the time with phone calls only ever partially working for one person so it was useless. If you do see them offering it for a fee, I would recommend not paying for it. Maybe in a year, but no way can they get so many bugs cleared up quick enough to be wort the insane price they want to charge.

it is 14,95 for each device. You can only sent messages. Or call to guest service, restaurants, spa, kids clubs.

Worked perfect on 20-27 of dec. cruise.

We did not buy internet package, don't know what is included in it.

Is it $14.95 per person each day or do you just pay $14.95 once and can message for your entire trip?

you pay 14,95 per person once for the entire cruise

Thank you all for the information.

 

Even if it's paid and only for text messages , I believe I will get it. It seems they fixed the system after the November and early December sailings.

I really don't need the voice messages. Text will be enough for me and my family (if it's really working though...)

You may already know this, but in case you don't, just a heads up that it's only available for apple devices (iphones, etc) and not android yet. It's supposed to be on android in the future, but no one's sure when.

That's what I'm talking about. Some people say it's free while others say it's charged.

I only hope text message will be available on Jan 23 sailing. If it's going to be free, it's even better!
