Princess@Sea no longer downloadable???

[HI-C-Dubs]

So I thought maybe I should download the Princess @ Sea app to check it out, but I can't seem to find it on the US iTunes store, and the link on the Princess site says it's "not available for your region"...

 

Anyone know if this still works? Or has Princess given up on their app?

[Clampram]

Just used it several weeks ago on the Regal. I got access thru the ships intranet which linked me to Princess at Sea. Very helpful for watching your bill and daily events

[clueless2]

I don't see it on Google Play either.

The app only provided the login window which is the same as the web version. If for some reason it's been removed from the App Store you simply need to use your web browser to log in.

The app is superfluous; all it did was access the onboard intranet page which you can do with your browser.

So you don't even need it? Just browser is fine?

I downloaded it for our cruise and it wouldn't work with our Galaxy 5's. The ships mgr of the internet cafe said that it was a problem with these phones. I don't know if they fixed it or not.

We were disappointed.

We found it very useful. You could create connections with members of your party then easily message them, all or one at a time. I would be disappointed if it didn't work in the future. We all had iPhones so our compatibility may have helped.

Your browser is all you need.

 

The app let you log in, and then re-directed you to the browser.

 

This used to to be the android version:

 

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=com.gcm.princess.messenger

 

Gone, now.

 

Maybe a new and improved version is upcoming!

Everything the app did was really done by the ship's website.

You don't need an app to access any of the Princess@Sea features including Messenger. Everything is accessed through the intranet web page. Edited May 7, 2016 by IECalCruiser

The last time I asked about the downloadable app I was told it was too buggy too often so it was removed from the app stores. It is not necessary on the ships. You only need your browser to login.

The adding friends and messaging is being down by a browser

talking to the intranet, the app was not involved.

No need for the app. If you have problem accessing the intranet onboard, the internet staff can help you.

We were on the Caribbean P in March and the ap did not work on our droid. We used the browser. My guess is that the ap has been consigned to the trash heap where it most likely belongs.

+1.

So even though you don't pay for internet minutes, you can use the ships WiFi to access the Princess website for no charge?

Yes.

 

You can also access some on-board content -- things like

today's activities.

For those who want a one button choice---

On iPhones you can have add any web page to your home screen.

 

Click on the (blue) square icon with the arrow then,

Click on the (dark grey) square icon with the + labeled Add to Home Screen.

Awesome! Thanks so much ... I've learned something useful today. :D

From what I've heard. Messenger at sea works better iPhone than it does on android.. My partner has an android. And ended up having to use the messenger service on the browser. But it still works for us

I get on the Regal Thursday. I'll come back here and report how it goes.

I think everyone is equally disappointed by the lack of notifications.

We used Princess@Sea on both our phone and tablet on our recent Ruby Princess cruise. We didn't need to use the app. The instructions in the Princess Patter were as follows:

1) Turn your device on airplane mode.

2) Connect to the ship's wi-fi (Ruby-Princess).

3) Type in ruby.princess.com on your browser and enjoy Princess@Sea.

It was that simple, and worked fine on both the phone and tablet.
