pms4104 Posted November 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Our Feb 2018 Royal sailing is marked as ***** cruise ... with the slow/selective rollout on the Regsl, we're not holding our breath ... in any event, we'll likely take along some aluminum foil to wrap around the device to block the signal ... the tracking seems creepy even tho that feature can be disabled, supposedly.

richsea Posted November 7, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Wondering if the Royal has the medallions yet, or if anyone knows when they will be installed? The January 19, 2018 sailing was scheduled to be the first Medallion cruise on Royal. Now all Medallion sailings through the spring are preview Medallion sailings, with only some rooms with the new technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-T520 using Forums mobile app That reminds me of those stories back in the day of those people who wore tin foil hats to prevent the aliens from intercepting their brainwaves. It seems reality has caught up with science fiction! I hope you're not going to wear your foil covered medallion on a lanyard! 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted November 7, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 7, 2017 It is my limited understanding that you can turn off all the features EXCEPT - the 'security' feature that allows Princess to track your every movement, but 'maybe' not your other cruise habits yeah right - turn it off???

Micahs Grandad Posted November 7, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Kind of creepy that they will always know where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted November 7, 2017 #12 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Kind of creepy that they will always know where we are. But then they could locate those hiding from the muster drill, and those on a B2B who don't think that letter telling them to meet somewhere to be zeroed down doesn't apply to them...Or they wouldn't have to call cabins over the PA when there are passengers missing when you are ready to leave port. They would at least know they are not on the ship. I can think of more reasons it would come in handy. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pms4104 Posted November 7, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Why not just get a regular card instead of the *****? Sure, we likely can get a standard card ... but at some point, I surmise Princess will phase those out. I have yet to figure the real value to me of the ***** system ... seems like a lot of marketing hype selling me on what Princess claims I need or want. Princess can't possibly be sinking so much time, energy and money into creating a better experience for me ... unless there is alot in it for Princess.
