Thanks for the info. I was using Chrome on a PC. I will download the app to a chrome book and give it a go. DW will take the chrome book on the cruise anyway.

Many cruise line apps let you see the menus when onboard on your device or the stateroom TV. I don't know how far in advance of sailing that they can bee seen on the app.

Web based version?? When I try the web, it tells me to use the app to check in. Please tell more!

That seems to be an issue on most large cruise lines.

I fully agree with the logic that the OP uses, with one small addition or caveat. The lingering question is "How much am I willing to pay to feel spoiled?" Again, that comes down to personal habits and preferences. Some are willing to pay a large amount for suite accommodations with limited access areas, etc. On the other hand, on OV cabin is fine and we will "splurge" on a balcony depending on the itinerary and cost. For us, the Plus package is marginal at best from a cost standpoint. Obviously, tips are required and we usually get an internet package to communicate with home. That covers a little over half the cost of Plus. After that, we can "splurge" on an extra drink, fancy coffee, or fancy dessert.

Happened to me too (on work computer). I called AARP. It might have something to do with pop up blockers. I went onto home computer and it worked fine.

They stand next to each order and each orders a drink. If you don't hand over the medallion, how are you sure at the time that the correct medallion is charged?

Doesn't the Skyway Bridge limit the size of the ships sailing from Tampa?

Thanks. I was thinking about getting a waterproof air tag holder, but it probably isn't necessary.

1. Is the Princess medallion waterproof? (If I put it in a zippered pocket in my swim trunks, will it survive a dip in the ocean?) 2. Is the Princess medallion reusable? (Can it be reused on your next Princess cruise?)

There is some truth to that. Princess is using the medallion system to expedite check ins.

We are sailing Grand in both directions this summer and considering excursion options. Could you share your excursion decisions? Since there will be two stops at each port, we will do an excursion day and an explore the port day.

I was able to book an excursion using the Princess OBC. I also have OBC from TA that is not accessible at this time.

Does Princess allow you to book excursions online using OBC?

In general, lower decks are less prone to motion than higher decks. I believe that the cabin size is similar to a standard balcony. You could get some noise from night time parties on deck 6.
