About this app

As you prepare for your vacation, download the ultimate cruise app! Available on all Carnival ships.

Use the Carnival HUB app to share your cruise countdown with friends, then explore and book shore excursions, spa treatments, drink packages and more (restricted for adults). When the time comes, you may also check-in and obtain your boarding documents.

As you board your ship, connect to Carnival’s Wi-Fi to view what’s happening, weather, dining menus and more! Onboard internet purchase is NOT required to use the Carnival HUB app.

Before your cruise:
• Load up on excursions, drink packages, spa treatments and more (restricted for adults)
• Check-in and prepare your boarding documents
• Share your cruise countdown with friends and family
(At this time, guests on Australian sailings may share their countdown and use features once on board their ship.)

Once on board:
• Chat to connect with family and friends on board. (Low, flat activation fee applies.)
• Day-by-day schedule of hundreds of onboard events
• Choose your favorite events and get reminders
• Open times and menus of food and dining venues
• Searchable deck plans with key areas highlighted
• Itinerary details, including current ship time, arrival/departure times for upcoming ports of call
• Real-time information on guests’ current Sail & Sign shipboard account balance
• Weather for each day of your sailing
• Find information like dining attire easily
• Ability to view and purchase shore excursions (restricted for adults)
• Order pizza for delivery almost anywhere on board (On select ships. Fees apply.)

Stay in the loop while sailing! The app maintains a steady connection to the ship’s local network so you receive real-time notifications even when the app isn't open.

Go ahead. Download it now. Your vacation deserves it.

Great for daily activities and FAQ type items. Terrible dinner reservation side. It is a check in after you are at the restaurant and then still first come first served. Messaging cost extra so not able to communicate with our large group of various ages unless all in the party paid for wifi?? Love the daily charge updates, keeping track of what the kids were putting on the room! Some improvements needed but we liked having it.

The app was a nice surprise. It makes booking excursions and viewing your bill much easier. We had a party of 19. The ability to text everyone was wonderful! With that said, the app was challenging to navigate for the older people in our group. Occasionally, messages were delayed which caused some confusion. Overall, it was well worth the $5! Maybe a class for the older generation that shows them how to navigate the app and provide an opportunity for them to ask questions.

Great idea - far better than the paper itinerary. However, it did crash a lot! I'm sure this will be a phenomenal tool once the bugs are gone. Keep at it! I loved being able to use an app, even if it was a little glitchy. - four years later, this app is MUCH better. I would consider adding games to it for the introverts that need to "recharge" their social battery.
