  1. What ship was that? I had no problem beginning of September on the Crown but I was the first to upgrade.
  2. I upgraded as soon as I boarded because I wanted to use my OBC and had purchased the insurance. Enjoyed the Crown Grill and Sabatinis, Salty Dog Gastropub and Vines were excellent. I was on the Crown and tried a few cocktails over the $15 limit the Salted Watermelon Margarita was very good. A little disappointed the Rose I’d seen posted was not available at Vines but the regular one was fine. I am still not comfortable going to packed shows in the theatre so skipped it this cruise as well. Bonus no Covid during or after 100 + days since last February. I did not win anything on Princess Prizes but the host in the casino took very good care of me so no complaints there. I am booked again on the Crown end of October and have already upgraded and made my specialty dining reservations, On the prior cruise I called the dine line very soon after embarking and was able to get the days and times I requested with no issues. Salty Dog was very busy the night I went so had a bit of a wait going forward I will probably make a reservation. I thought it was good value especially on my shorter cruises. .
  3. The TV in your cabin will have the menus and which dining room is open for breakfast and lunch. The remote can take some getting used to accessing what you want and the menus may not be 100% accurate but very close.
  4. I leave my items on the hangers and cover them with a plain dry cleaning bag, hang asap in the closet and never had any issues with wrinkling including my husband's dress shirts.
  5. Thanks to add to this my credit card company is in flux right now, so that may be part of it. Office is closed so I'll call them in the morning. Thank you again for the speedy response.
  6. I disembarked September 15th and Princess put a hold on my account on the 13th. The amount owing has been paid in full but the pending charge is still there 9 days later, which seems excessive. Will try contacting them but thought I'd check and see if this is standard but I don't recall any lasting more than 4 or 5 days.
  7. I just keep tapping the log in button, it eventually gives up and lets me in. On the rare occasion I’m still locked out I use my booking number, name and DOB.
  8. It was Plus but I think I was the first passenger to upgrade to Premier on boarding 😃
  9. It’s just the way it reads. If you go into the app choose your medallion and click on the icon it will show you the details. Color probably won’t change until it’s shipped, and no one looks at the QR code when boarding. So you will just go straight to green.
  10. Lots of people are reporting receiving these, oddly they seem to be for specific months so probably an internal issue with their accounting department.
  11. First I stop at Good Times for a beer and Clamato and a snack from the IC, then since I already know where my Muster station is I swing by there then head to the cabin to meet my Steward and unpack while watching the video. Head to the casino to meet the hosts then up to Sky Walkers for sail away, then Vines and dinner. Can't wait!
  12. I'll find out on Tuesday but I expect when I board mine will revert back to Plus. Otherwise the lines at Guest Service will be a mile long with passengers insisting they have Premier when they really don't.
  13. It sure is. I am in Canada and today I have a checkmark that shows I've chosen to have my medallion shipped to the port, that was gone for weeks now its back. I know I don't need it or the bar code but it is updating on its own timeline as usual 😀
  14. Then you have Princess Plus. My Summary does not list the casual dining, or any of the other additions. Those are listed in my App under Packages. Which like many others is wrong because it says I have the Premier package for my cruise next week, which I don't. Yet. But I do have the Premier for one of my cruises. The Medallion Net is correct for my cruise on Tuesday it shows I have 1 device. For my next cruise which I upgraded it says I have 4 which is also correct. And I guess you've deleted cookies, uninstalled and reinstalled, turned it off for a few hours made sure all updates are current? You have your screen shot of the plan you purchased or were gifted? Then you should be good to go. Its just wonky and frustrating, but honestly I love it once onboard.
  15. If you select Medallion Net in the app does it show 1 device?
  16. I’ve had a Canada/Us plan for years with no issues. I use Facebook messenger and FaceTime to keep in touch with family. My plan covers Hawaii but not Alaska, so if Hawaii is your destination maybe double check with your provider to make sure you will be covered. Port days I make sure I am connected to a tower before making calls etc and enable the ships wifi about an hour or so before departure. I have an older smartphone and occasionally after getting off the ship in ports I have to turn my phone off and on to order an Uber might be just a me issue though. I am with Telus and asked if I could use wifi calling and was told no, so you may want to confirm you will be able to.
  17. We love Long Beach airport but just a heads up if you are checking bags you have to exit the terminal and pick them up off the conveyor outside. There are luggage carts available I just don't know how far they extend the wheel chair assistance. We are not at that point yet, but I grab our bags and then wait for my husband to catch up near the street where we then go and grab our Uber.
  18. Sorry to hear that, never heard of this happening to anyone else. Hope you have a house sitter.
  19. Formal announcement coming soon so more information to come. I have a cruise in October so will wait and try canceling the order and opt to have it shipped.
  20. Great news, Medallion Delivery for Canada! Exciting news for our Canadian guests! Beginning on September 25, pre-cruise Medallion shipping is available for those residing in Canada. Now, guests from the U.S. and Canada have a variety of options to have their medallion delivered pre-cruise. Those who purchase the Princess Plus and Princess Premier add-on packages receive free Medallion delivery, or guests can also arrange for shipping of their Medallion for a fee of $15 per household to Canada ($10 per household to the US). The expansion of pre-cruise Medallion shipping will continue—coming soon to Australia and the UK. So far all my cruises have Princess Plus so free to me.
  21. First before asking for tokens try using the machines without them. Push the slider in and press start, most ships right now laundry is free for everyone. I believe there is a charge though for laundry soap and dryer sheets but we take our own.
  22. The Premier package never interested me until they enhanced it. I have already upgraded one of my upcoming cruises and being solo the upcharge was worth it to me. I have already made my specialty restaurant reservations, the app cooperated and I was not charged so I count that as a win. My next cruise is in 15 days and because I have their insurance I will wait until I board to upgrade being Canadian there is the extra extra factor. Looking forward to trying some new to me cocktails and Vines has a wine listed and a charcuterie platter I would like to try at least once. Salty Dog Gastropub also has some options I'd like to try and being this is a 10 day cruise I won't need to feel like I am cramming these in. I also use room service mornings and most evenings so one less thing to worry about. I get that the packages are not for everyone nor are they designed to be but I intend to make full use of mine and yes even have at least one specialty dessert and maybe a slice of cake. YOLO lol.
  23. I had that cabin once and loved it, out the door and at the pool, bar and buffet. Spent a lot of time at the table on the rail watching the wake. Views of Alaska were amazing!
  24. App is having issues, and most people are reporting the same thing. I'd give it a few days and try again. Mine shows I haven't ordered it but when I go into there I can see that it was ordered and correctly states I'm picking it up at the port.
