The Kraken, a Twitarr Client

The Kraken is a social media app custom-built for JoCo Cruise 2026. If you're coming with us on the cruise, you want to have this app installed to maximize your experience.

This app works with Twit-arr, the JoCo Cruise onboard social media server. In addition to all the great Twit-arr features, The Kraken gives you:

• Pirate Selfies: Take pictures of yourself and up to 2 friends wearing virtual Pirate Hats, and post them to Twit-arr.
• Offline Access: The Kraken caches everything, meaning you can read Twit-arr posts, forums, seamail, and check the schedule, all while sitting on the beach in Half Moon Cay.
• Offline Posting: You can also draft new posts while offline—they'll get sent to the Twit-arr server when you get back to the boat.
• Notifications: Receive push notifications on your phone from the Twit-arr server, even with no access to the wider Internet.
• Searchable Maps: Type in the name of a suite number, or any named room on the ship, and be directed to its location.
• iPad support: For the true multitasker—carry on multiple conversations at once with The Kraken on iPad. Or, keep tabs on the Twit-arr stream in one column while browsing for Karaoke songs to sing in another.
• KrakenTalk: a person-to-person, ship-to-same-ship real time full duplex voice communication feature.
• Rock Ballad Mode: show your love for that torch song with a virtual torch.
• PhotoStream: Photos taken on the boat, shared with everyone. While you can view photos on the web, you can only add photos using apps like Kraken.
• Day Planner: A combined calendar view of official events, Looking For Group activities, and your own activities. Easily see your whole schedule.

If you're going on JoCo Cruise this year, please remember to download this app before you board. It's much easier and faster to download apps while ashore.
