Well the no Australian sockets thing sucks.  You would think they would have at least one considering how much this ship is sailing out of Oz.

That was my cabin, not sure about others, maybe someone else onboard will be able to comment

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).

I was considering one of these from Amazon.

Has anybody seen them, in the flesh so to speak.

So as promised I am back to review the watch medallion holder mentioned above. It worked as advertised, the medallion fitted nicely without being loose, at no time was I worried it would slip out and at no point did it look like it would break. It is a little bit of a struggle if you have a thick metal watch strap but I attached it eventually. Happy I bought it.

Just to add to my previous comment, it definitely looks 3D printed.

My first cruise is on Thurs (with another the weekend after) so I will try to remember to come back and let you know how it performed.

 I actually have one of these, it's sitting in front of me now. Seems good quality but time will tell. Very expensive for what it is but hate lanyards and was the best option for me.
