The old app wouldn’t ballot me to order the Medallions. 😟

Thanks for thinking about this with me. So here is the problem …. My husband shows Green Lane as he is signed to the Credit Card for the ship’s billing. you cannot opt out of including the 2nd payment details & I refuse to put my info & Credit card info on the ‘Shoreside’ payment section. So now that I refuse to give that info to a 3rd party, it will not let me order my Medallions (I know we can get them when checking in but supposedly that is a perk of having it shipped since I have Princess Plus). All this means I have not completed my check -in! As a long time cruiser on Princess, this is really ticking me off! 😠😠 Happy New Year! 🎉🎉 See attached is the photo on my ‘Travel Information’ page!

My tabs are…. Check-in Book Dining Packages Excursions Spa

Ha, ha, ha! See you in the Blue lane soon! 😜

So you are willing to add your credit card information into the Shoreside transaction tab… to a company called Radiqal Gaming LLC? Into their data base? …..even if you plan not to ever use it? Are you okay with being forced to do that in order to get into the Green Lane or in order to submit your order for your Medallions to be shipped to you? We should be able to opt out of the Shoreside CC requirement.

I am pretty update that Princess is forcing us to register a credit card with the ‘Shoreside Transactions’ in order to be in the GREEN Lane! I have a CC on file for our ship’s account but I DO NOT want a 3rd party keeping my credit card on file. I don’t shop on shore with a CC. Since I refuse to register any Shoreside credit card info, I am in the Blue Lane…. And as punishment for failing to abide with their demand, they won’t let me complete our Medallion Order!!! (Which should be shipped to me since we have the Plus Package!! 😠). I will be sending off an email to express my dissatisfaction with this process.

My favorite way to start a our cruise… sitting with our best friends, in the Good Spirits bar, with our first cocktails…. until the Dining Room opens for lunch. Although several choices for appetizers, main course and dessert, I’m truly there for the dessert!….. my first soufflé of the cruise! 😉😁❤️ After all the hustle and bustle with getting to the airport, flying, car service to the terminal, dropping off luggage, boarding process…. I am ready to sit & relax with a drink and a great lunch. It always feels like home to me when I finally step on board. 4 Weeks to Go! ⚓️🛳❤️

With many Princess cruises under our belts, we have never booked the Sanctuary. We would be interested in booking one of the Sanctuary Cabanas. I believe the Cabanas have two chairs in the Cabana and I believe 2 lounges in front in the sun. How many people can the Cabanas hold? We are cruising with my sister and BIL and thought we might share one. If the Cabana was at a cost of $220, would each couple have to pay $220? Thanks for any info you can provide. 😎

Thanks Dan. That’s how I interpreted it as well. I will still be waiting for Princess to put it on my cruise docs / Medallion! 🙄🙄

Yes.. your cruise would be under the new process of Vaccinated passengers would NOT need to have a Covid test. We are on the Royal 15 nights and 16 days…. So no testing required. “No pre-cruise testing for vaccinated guests on voyages of up to 15 nights (guests 5 and older) with the exception of full Panama Canal transits, trans-ocean and other special itineraries; unvaccinated guests must provide a negative self-test result taken within three days of embarkation (unvaccinated children under 5 years do not require pre-cruise testing)”

WooHoo! 🎉👏🏻👏🏻🎉

I’m bringing my Princess Gift Cards with me on my November cruise. I will go to the Purser’s desk to get hem placed on my on board account. That should work… Right? 🙄🙄

They work great on belts and thicker fabric like shorts compared to my light weight cotton tops. My husband really liked his. He even put in on the waist of his bathing suit so he didn’t lose it. We have done the lanyards on many cruises and these clips changed that for us. sounds like you might need to book another cruise between now & December! 😉 We are heading out on November 5th on the Enchanted Princess for a 14 day repositioning. Then a long wait until March…. Maybe! 😂

You can see how safely tucked into the clips the medallion is.

I can’t even pull the clip up enough to slide it over my shirt collar or on my short’s pocket. I had to wiggle the material into the clip section to put it on.. I felt it was very safe and definitely never fell off.

This is vendor on Amazon I ordered from. They have 3 different packages with 3 colors in each. Best price I found.

I recently ordered these ad they are perfect fit for the medallion.

Thank you so much for your insight… and so quickly too. Since 3 couples will be splitting the cost of the ‘family van’ for the 36 hours, it makes a very affordable option and will probably give us the best access to do the sightseeing. I love the idea of seeing other areas near Honolulu. Right now, via Priceline, the 2 day rental price is $315. I’m sure gas is crazy expensive but we are prepared. Again, thank you for taking your time to answer and point me in some direction. Judy

Greetings CC Cruisers! This is our (3 couples) first cruise to Hawaii. We will be on the Royal Princess. I am thinking since we now have an overnight in Honolulu that we will rent a 7 passenger van for 36 hours. Our first priority is to spend time at the Pearl Harbor Memorial. We will make those reservations when we hit the 2 month out mark. After that, we all want to see the beauty of the island, spend some beach time, enjoy some Hawaiian food, etc. I have a couple questions if anyone here has done this on a past cruise. 1. Is there an overnight parking lot near where the Royal will be docked? 2. Is there a shuttle to the Inouye International Airport from the pier? Uber’s? 3. Any thoughts on itineraries including sights to see, off the beaten path gems, great restaurants, etc.? 4. Any pros or cons to this idea? Lots to plan for San Francisco, Hawaii … and on board!! 😳😉 Thanks for any and all input! Judy

Thank you. I tried it again and found It finally….. it didn’t load the first few tries. I probably was a little impatient! 🙄

I am a seasoned cruiser with Princess and have enjoyed many meals in the Princess Specialty restaurants. I have booked those while on board and used OBC. I went into my Medallion App today and made reservations in the ‘Dining My Way’ section for on couple of dates. I cannot find where I pay for those reservations. Princess does not seem to have a place to pre-purchase Specialty Dining first and then make the reservations either. Any insight you have would be appreciated. Thank you

Thank you for all your photos and postings. We will be boarding this coming Sunday, 05/15. Your information is very helpful! I hope you can find some better weather and calmer seas very soon! 😁
