Another aspect of this issue is that DCL is still pushing the Navigator app and they want their guests to use it all the time to be aware of all the happenings on the ship, UNFORTUNATELY, the app is woefully lacking, one of their "fun" features they claim is their ability to chat with other guests via the app, well unless you keep the app open constantly (battery drain) and refreshing it constantly (even more battery drain) it won't "push" chats through from/to you, it's really not functional or practical because you never know when you get a notification unless you take your phone out, open the apps and then check the chat feature. Having unlimited internet on board would let guests use all their favorite chat functions to communicate with family members, friends on board and even family off the ship! But that would make too much sense, as long as they can score that $80 for the big package from people willing to pay it just to stay connected they won't be motivated to upgrade the service on board, and keep hawking the Navigator app as the end all be all for online access.
