I checked again this morning to see if my personalizer has updated yet to let me purchase Medallionet, nope. So I called Princess. While on the phone with them it updated!! Weird, just weird!

2019Coral Fan Posted June 5, 2019 #79 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Our experience on the Coral with Medallion Net was poor (even though the system was completely upgraded recently). As mentioned above, they offered 50% off the day you board so it was $10 daily for a single device. Coverage was spotty at best. When we inquired at the passenger services’ desk, the clerk said, “everyone is having problems.” She then directed us to the manager of the Internet Cafe who refunded our entire plan. He did say iPhones were having more problems than Samsungs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mrell345 Posted June 5, 2019 #80 Share Posted June 5, 2019 i noticed that the Coral bridge webcam has not updated since the 28th of May, not sure if that is an indication that they are having problems with the new internet system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eileen G Posted June 8, 2019 #91 Share Posted June 8, 2019 We were on a couple of weeks ago and only had problems once in a while. I think it has more to do with where the ship is in relation to the satellites. There were times the hole ship had no internet for a short time. If we couldn't get on we just tried again later. The problem comes in when someone needs to be on at a specific time or on a lot. You can not rely on it to be working when you need it. We have experienced similar problems in the Caribbean too. Peek times are always a problem no matter what ship you are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s usable I might repurchase first day( it’ll be $10 more). If I’m online I’ll post the speeds. Edited June 10, 2019 by Lov1ngLife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He refunded both packages (wife’s and nine) completely. It cost us nothing to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-sale is longer available, it’s within 72 hrs. of sailing. I argued with myself for hours before cancelling, knowing I would regret whatever choice I decided. Cancelled 73 hours before departure, with the option to buy the first day. I didn’t think cancelling the second day was an option if it was slow but still running. I should have asked. I live and learn. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtdlmc Posted June 10, 2019 #97 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I had MedallionNet on Coral May 8-15. I had no problems at all with it using an iPad and iPhone. It was down most of one day but no issues at all with speed. We used FaceTime, email, Facebook but no downloading or streaming. It didn’t work out on the balcony but was fine everywhere else.

ErLee Posted June 26, 2019 #98 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Medallion Net was great on the Coral June 12 - 19. There was one morning when it didn't work but by the time we got back from our excursion it was back on. It was fast for regular surfing and uploading of photos to social media. I didn't try to stream anything. We had no phone service in any of the Alaska ports, so we were glad to have it available on board. It was well worth the $59.99 we paid for each of us to have unlimited service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
