pablo222 Posted July 5, 2018 #201 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Goofy and company would have a better chance of getting this going. I used to share an office with a gent who could get a little hot from time to time. He had a problem with some vendor, and he was screaming in the phone: Who's running that place --- Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck? I'm sure Donald Arnold is wondering the same thing...

Wishing on a star Posted July 5, 2018 #203 Share Posted July 5, 2018 They are still showing cruises on the Regal Princess for later this year as "Ocean Medallion'. Don't know whether to scratch my head or bust out laughing, or what??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saw the info I reported on above, you will see they are looking at putting it on the Regal this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard, you may not see anything. Dry dock was mainly for the wiring as far as ***** goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted July 6, 2018 #208 Share Posted July 6, 2018 We will be on the Regal in September and expect the ***** to be working the same as it was last December when we were on the Regal. Personally we could care less about *****...but do like the Regal. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm liking the Regal after the re-design. Glad they did it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby3334 Posted July 6, 2018 #211 Share Posted July 6, 2018 On the TA to Europe the senior staff reported no further work on ***** on Regal until it returns in the Fall. All technicians left behind. They were to spend the Summer working on the Caribbean Princess. If the ***** has not been perfected on it I doubt they will return to Regal until a “fix”has been found.....if there is one.

Wishing on a star Posted July 6, 2018 #212 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Yes, I have been reading info, that sounds more credible, that there are issues with the systems and satellite operations while the ship is sailing as far North as these Northern Europe itineraries. So, no further work or progress until later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just understand there is no connection between the "Ocean Medallion" and the "MedallionNet" systems other than that Marketing gave them similar names. Well, and that they are both new systems that are having teething problems. :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also important to keep in mind the point made about two different systems being conflated: the ***** and high speed Internet.

EatonDoolittle Posted July 7, 2018 #216 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Is the Majestic Medallion ready and operational? I'm on the Sky shorty FLL inaugural sailing in December 2019, curious if they installed everything on the new builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the Sky shorty FLL inaugural sailing in December 2019, curious if they installed everything on the new builds. Nope. The only ship with Medallion technology "up and running" is Regal Princess and it's only "working" on maybe a third of the ship. I use the word "working" loosely.

I use the word "working" loosely. Let me rephrase that. ***** is working (with bugs) throughout the Regal, but (subject to my faulty memory) only 110 of 1400 cabins are given medallions to use.

But they have only added the ***** door access panels to these 110 cabins so it's not really working throughout the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No on the Majestic. They have some touchscreen panels in the elevator areas and may have the miles of wiring throughout the ship but nothing else has been rolled out - perhaps because it was designed for the Chinese market. They will probably include the wiring and sensors on the Sky but will have to see if they can fix the bugs on Regal before it gets the full treatment.

megs1954 Posted July 7, 2018 #221 Share Posted July 7, 2018 But they have only added the ***** door access panels to these 110 cabins so it's not really working throughout the ship. Do all of the cabins have the access panels even if they’re covered up on Regal? We were on Caribbean Princess right after its wiring for ***** and it had covered access panels at the cabins. I’m wondering if they just uncover these that are on the Regal if they would be able to access them with the medallion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're tripping over semantics. Remember, it's not just cabin doors. The medallions for those 110 cabins do work in the MDR, shops, poolside, etc. In fact, the major issue is the problems they have unlocking cabin doors. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCruiserettu Posted July 7, 2018 #223 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I'm on the Sky shorty FLL inaugural sailing in December 2019, curious if they installed everything on the new builds. I would expect the Sky to have the basic wiring and panels, etc. However, when I call up Sky cruises for Oct-Nov 2019, there is no banner indicating Medallion Preview or Medallion Vacation. Not very promising. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not when we were on in November for the first and second cruises with Medallion. This could have changed since but this was the panel from our Medallion cabin in November: And this is the panel outside a non-Medallion cabin on Regal in January - doesn't look the same unless anyone else knows better!

Rare dides Posted July 7, 2018 #225 Share Posted July 7, 2018 We're tripping over semantics. :rolleyes: Maybe it does work in bars, shops and the casino etc but they need to prove the cabin doors unlock on ALL decks (not just 3) and not just the mid-forward section :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
