One last question/suggestion: Why does every entity HAVE to have an app? Why not just a link to the website where, using the browser on our phone, we could request reservations, make payments etc. The app is just a "middleman" to Princess website and data anyway.

Yes, a tearful goodbye to the app UNLESS theyre still using the same developers to write the new one! Besides this thread on Cruise Critic, have you ever read the reviews in the App Store? I feel bad about my negativity but the consensus there is that Princess Medallion App is the worst app in ANY category, not just travel. Good riddance and fingers crossed for the new version.

I just found and enrolled in CruiseCritic, so forgive any show of ignorance. But I saw the discussion of Princess' Medallion App, read the first couple pages from years ago and it's STILL the most intrusive app of any that I've seen (not just related to cruises or travel topics but any app for any purpose). The permissions that it requests (demands, actually!) are pervasive, wanting access to virtually everything. It requires permission to use SMS not just for updating information but for all their promotions and including their business partners. I picked my cruise because it offered good destinations and itinerary, but I think afterwards I'll retract permissions and then delete it entirely.
