floridalover5623 Posted July 23, 2018 #276 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Did some research, and found these comments in Caribbean's Aug 4 Roll Call https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=56502689&postcount=29 https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=56547260&postcount=39 YMMV Check out Vickie's blog when she's sailing. She usually give great details about the ship & ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latserrof Posted July 23, 2018 #277 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The door opening worked fine on my room as soon as I learned that the door doesn't "unlatch" until you actually touch the handle of the door. So you still have to touch the handle, but needn't turn it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierlesscruisers Posted July 24, 2018 #278 Share Posted July 24, 2018 So you still have to touch the handle, but needn't turn it? That was 8 months ago and such a common, everyday thing (opening a door) that I don't remember whether I had to turn the handle or not. Probably did.

Probably did. Tom With the hotel iPhone app, you do not need to turn the handle. It is motorized. The phone needs to be close, almost touching. It would never trigger from the elevator.

ronandkarent Posted July 24, 2018 #281 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Haven't seen any recent reports of the Ocean Medallion program on the Regal Princess being expanded on the ship. Wondering what the progress is. Anyone out there have recent knowledge? Know if it is being used to request items as marketed? Thanks in advance. After contacting Princess by email, a representative called and assured us our stateroom will be ***** ready by sail away. The installation and readiness is by deck. I would suggest you speak with Princess. They will need your cruise # and stateroom number. I’m hoping the installation goes well and quickly.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk If you are speaking about Regal they were doing it by muster station and I heard that was for all...calls to or from Princess will get you many different responses.

There is --hrmm-- rumor in Caribbean's Aug 4th Roll Call that 100± staterooms will get *****, and that the she will be full-up ***** by mid-September, at which time Regal returns and Princess will be looking for the next ship to *****. :D ...or not. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister and I splurged on a club class mini suite. If the Ocean Medallion is not working, it will still be a fantastic cruise. We were on the Regal for the same cruise in 2015. We wanted to go back since we had horrible weather in 2015. It’s a fantastic ship but very big! Fingers crossed for sunny skies and smooth seas. ⚓️ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammyluvs Posted July 24, 2018 #290 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It appears my cabin is listed as an Ocean Medallion Preview. Sailing 1/6/2019. Im hoping it will be in better shape by then.It was also on the 1st Preview. Cabin M228 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHMarkL Posted July 24, 2018 #291 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Anyone know if Island Princess has started receiving any ***** equipment or outfitting. Sailing in September. Princess website says: "Princess Cruises, the #1 cruise line in Alaska, announced today that Island Princess will be the fourth cruise ship to feature the Ocean Medallion™, debuting May 16, 2018 for the Alaska season."

Thrak Posted July 30, 2018 #292 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks for the link. Interesting new tidbits of information starting to be listed for the Sky Princess. People might like to check it out. There’s no mention of La Mer under speciality dining. There is mention of a new themed bar... :confused: Oh and artist impressions of the two new Sky Suites ;p Edit - Just looked through all the information in the link and there are a good few new artists impressions including the main pool area and The Sanctuary. They both look very different to the previous Royal Class ships and also to any other Princess ship. It’s certainly making me even more excited for our Mediterranean cruises on her in October 2019. You could even say ‘I’M AMPED! It might not specifically mention La Mer but the deck plans clearly show an area on Promenade Deck marked "French Bistro".

caribill Posted July 30, 2018 #293 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Medallion Net is just the new super fast WiFi. Completely different to Ocean Medallion. No mention of Ocean Medallion, just the WiFi. If the *****, currently 9 months behind implementation on the first ship it was scheduled for, is not working by the time this ship starts sailing, then Princess has a very, very big problem on their hands.

You mean that Princess does not already have a "very, very big problem on it's hands" already?!? ;) Current rumor-mill status on Caribbean Princess' Roll Calls is that she'll have 100± beta ***** staterooms on her cruise next Friday, and be full-up ***** come mid-Sept – assuming Princess really has figured out *****'s show-stopper issues with stateroom door unlocking this time.

SimonaD Posted July 30, 2018 #298 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Don't count any chickens. :( Regal's Apr '19 T/A is marked "MedallionNet", but there are zero internet plans of any sort on offer. Just a webpage blank other than "In-Cabin Calling to Shore" for $49.50. :o Wait. Are you saying there is no internet? We’re boarding her in 3 weeks for a 28 day sailing and I can’t go without internet for work. You’re giving me the heebiejeebies right now.... gulp......

SimonaD Posted July 30, 2018 #299 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I wonder why the Oct 2018 5 day cruises don’t show a Medallion.net unlimited plan. The 7 & 10 day do.
