Okay, so I downloaded this Carnival HUB app at, like, 2 AM when the baby was crying and I was trying to plan our family cruise (because who has time during the day?!). Turns out, it's a GAME-CHANGER! Seriously, it's free to use onboard, which is HUGE because cruise Wi-Fi is a rip-off. It has the whole daily schedule – shows, dining times, activities for the kids...everything! Plus, there are deck maps, so you don't get totally lost trying to find the buffet (been there!). The best part? You can message people in your group for free. No more trying to coordinate meet-ups with spotty texts. It takes literally 30 seconds to set up - I timed it. I can check this while making lunch, during school pick-up, or basically anytime I have a spare moment. Seriously, download it before you go. You won't regret it!
