1. 5/5Best Carnival Cruise Everrrrrr

   On Thursday, August 24, 2023 I sat cell with my best friend teniqua Owens for her 50th birthday cruise extravaganza. It was only 25 of us but we had the most amazing time ever. I took over 900 photos. I also took photos with the cruise ship as well my favorite part of the event, which is everything, but Mr. Jasper, who has the same name as my grandson is the most amazing event director ever. He is such a people person. I’ve never met someone like this on a trip. He is a Ola questions he sent us to the comedy shows he said just to go to the casino. He sent us to make sure we was on time for Deborah like he is so hands on so if you guys ever get a chance to meet Jasper please do. Our state room cleaner was Josie who was so magnificent that every day she make sure that we had an animal take towels setting what type of our bet it made us feel so good thanks Josie. Now about our waitress at our 6 PM dinner at Sunset. Her name is Olena we sat in section 104 and 102. Please make sure y’all sit there in that section. She is amazing. She make sure you got all your food from off the main course and she definitely will make sure you get the best desserts. It’s so much and for days that I can talk about but I can’t even think of a better carnival sunshine ship in my life that I will be going back next year to take my oldest granddaughter Eva for her 17th birthday. Thanks again Hub you may I will stay much more better with this hub app. Love always. Joi

2. 4/5Works well, for the most part

   Overall the app works decently. 100% useless unless you're physically on a Carnival boat AND connected to their Wi-Fi. You must download this app BEFORE you board or it'll be difficult to do so. I suggest downloading it before you get to your port. If you pay for their chat feature (which will pretty much be the only way to communicate with others while on board unless you're in you're stateroom all the time), it tends to disconnect frequently and when it disconnects, you'll likely lose messages that you've sent. I'd suggest taking screenshots or utilizing a notes app if you're needing to keep anything of importance to reference later. Ship activities show up under the What's Happening portion and you can tap the heart and it should alert you about 15 minutes prior so you can head to where you needed to be. I found that feature to be intermittent at best but great when it worked. Photos the photographers take throughout will show up in the app as well. They'll ask for your room number. Don't be surprised if you get a bunch of randos. We sure did. We also cannot access the app after you're disconnected from the ship's Wi-Fi so if there are any photos you want to buy, do so before you disembark. You can also view your account summary to keep track of charges. The main person the room is booked under can view all room charges. Overall it's a very useful app while boarded. It could use some stability work but when there's thousands of people connected, I would expect some sort of issues.

3. 4/5Overall useful

   Overall I found the app to be useful for planning your day and see what was happening on the ship. You could favorite activities and it would notify you prior to them beginning. The only issue I had was there is an extra purchase of $5 per person if you want to use the chat feature. I thought this would be great for my teens to be able to keep track of them on the ship. Only problem is there is really no notification when you have a message unless you go into the app and see a tiny red dot on chat, but that didn’t always mean there was a new chat, sometimes the dot would be there even though I had already read the chat. Since the app is capable of notifications it should be able to send one for the chat. My kids were able to create group ones with friends they made on the ship so that was enjoyable for them to be able to meet up with them, for example after returning from port. Another feature that I suggested that would be beneficial is to be able to create your own event in the timeline for picking up pics ordered or perhaps they could add that to your itinerary like they do the excursions. I did use the app a lot though, it had maps of the ship to see where an activity was, had activity descriptions, what was open to get something to eat, you could follow your spending account and anyone else using your account-individually, like each kid. It’s a free app so definitely use it.

4. 4/58 day then 7 back to back

   I do like many of the features of the app. I love that it works with my watch. I love that I can plan out my day and it will alert me 15 minutes before hand. I love the where to eat and menus. I love the weather portion. I love when I am on the ships that my pictures go to my phone. I am sorry but I have better things to do than to dig through 8 million pictures of other people. Also talk about the environmental impact. But my family of six paid 5 dollars each for the chat option. $30 dollars and it hardly ever worked. I am not sure if it was just the ship (Dream) or what but by the time anyone got the chat message we had already wondered the whole ship and found each other. One of the reasons I got it was for the safety of my three daughters. Nice to know if they needed me I would have been there at least a half hour late. Future upgrades ideas. It would we great to be able to see on your phone in real time the boats location, Speed, direction, eta of the port, etc. might include a UV index on the weather portion. Maps of the islands. Points of interest on the island. Safety messages about each island. Texting out the message that the cruise director was trying to say. Notifications of sales in the fun shops. How could the app be used for single people wanting to meet some one? Could it be used to find my wife or kids by letting us share location like floor, and bow, mid, and aft? That should get you started.

5. 5/5Carnival Sunrise July 16-21

   This was our first cruise in 17 years. My husband and I got to bring our 16 year old daughter and her friend for their first ever cruise. So much is different (in a good way) and so many things the same- also in a good way. First, I love how dining is set up now with a range of time to eat, but still get the same waiter. I was worried about that because we all know they make up part of our fun by getting to know us. I loved that we could see the menu ahead of time on the hub and check in. I also loved the Hub with the events and details of the day and how they are categorized by food/drinks/ shopping/etc…. It was a great way to plan your day ahead of time (My last cruise was still with a piece of paper slid under your door nightly that you had less time to plan your day AND had to keep track of all day!) Last, but not least, I loved to see a lot of the old things that made me fall in love with Carnival when I was 13- every single employee is friendly, says hello and smiles; they work hard to make every person’s vacation relaxing while working hard to keep the ship clean; the fun, music and tricks at dinners, along with the personalization of them learning our names (cabin stewards also); the photographers to catch those special moments, and just all the fun with the staff and fellow cruisers. It’s exactly what I told my daughter it would be like. Thanks for another great one Carnival- it won’t be another 17 years before our next one!

3. 5/5

   Great tool for navigating around the ship, keeping you up to date with spendings, letting you know what's going on around the ship & checking menu options for the different restaurants. Also great if you don't get the internet package. For a minimal cost you can activate the chat feature so you can keep in touch with travelling companions. 10/10 recommend!
