Onboard Notifications
Reliably deliver notifications to guests.
Push notifications without internet connectivity
Local Push Notifications take advantage of the Local Push Connectivity API available in iOS and similar functionalities within Android to provide push notifications without any reliance on Internet connectivity.
This has two main benefits:
More reliable message delivery
No need to open network access to push notification services
Send messages to passengers via the iTV system or push notifications to the cruise app
OnDeck Notifications allows crew to send messages to passengers via the iTV system or mobile push notifications to the cruise app.
Notifications can synchronize with iTV notifications so that guests can be reached on multiple platforms without having to see a message multiple times.
