Review summary

We totally enjoyed our cruise of Indy, and if it's your first ever cruise it will blow your mind. The down side for us was that if the ship is full as it was for us, had trouble finding a seat in the bars on deck 4 and 5 at night or if there is bad weather . RC mobile app does not work on all smartphone and they have removed the interactive feature on your cabin TV to check your sea pass account, which did in the past work well for us. She still is a wonderful ship

That was my only negative point.The fact you can no longer check your account on your tv.As much as i live RC you always have to monitor your account. i havn't been on a cruise to date where we havn't been incorrectly/wrongly charged for something. last cruise (4 weeks ago) we had all our drinks on embarkation day put on oyr acccount ( It was a few i can say well first day and all that lol). And we had the deluxe drinks package lol ( buggers). its alwats quickly corrected though.Happy cruising 11mnths to go xx

It is the Royal Caribbean app, available on some ships including the Indy. You can't use this app to text but it is free. It shows your on board spend and the activities available on the ship. It is a bit temperamental and doesn't always work. If you can't get your account details showing on the app you now need to go to the guest services desk for a printout.

Can you tell me about the phone app? Is that where you can text others in your party? what is the fee?
