Ripple Works on Royal

With Royal Caribbeans pervasive WiFi, I had no problem using Ripple Cruise Communicator. I had a little trouble initially setting it up but once I set my phone into airplane mode with the wifi turned on, I had to force Ripple to use the RoyalWiFi without Internet and then it worked. To prove to my travel companions that there was no charge to use it, nobody signed up for an account for an Internet package. I used one voice call that worked fine and the text messages were perfect as long as you left ripple running. Five stars when battery life is extended.

Update... It is now October 2015, and less than 30 days before I sail again on Freedom of the seas, and Im not able to contact the app developers to confirm if the app is still being supported as nothing appears to have been updated since 2014. Excellent concept and great use of technology maybe someone will not let this app disappear.
