Having just got off the ship on Sunday I though I would add a few things that may help.
- My cabin (mini suite) had zero Australian sockets
- The Medallion app was a bit hit and miss. The 'What's on' section never worked for me, but you do get a paper copy delivered to your cabin. The 'Text your Cruisemates' also did not work for the whole cruise.
- My cruisemates internet only worked after a visit to customer service.
- If you order drinks or snacks to your table via the app make sure it has you in the correct area. A few people had drinks delivered to their cabin even though they were in the atrium.
- My medallion stopped working but not to much of a big deal to get it reprogrammed.
- For the smokers you can get cigarettes on board from selected bars (Lido Bar and Wheelhouse - I think), it was either 10.50 or 12.00 for a pack of 20 Marlboro Gold
- Quizzes and shows were quite popular so get there a little early (esp. shows)
- Within the princess plus package the big bottles (2l) of water are chargeable, small bottles are not.
- Ordering and delivery anywhere on the ship was a fantastic feature. Loved it.
- 'Locate your cruisemates' was also great and reliable.
- If anyone has a birthday or celebration registered with Princess during the cruise, get them to tap one of the sensors next to the screens with the medallion, an animation starts. Obviously the bigger the screen and the more people around the better.
- If you like rum try the Captains Bounty cocktail, so nice.
- The drinks selection using the QR codes at the bars is different to the app. So have a look at both.
Who ever is onboard on Thursday (23rd) hopefully I will see you there (cruising solo this time).
