There is scuttlebutt that he will be the Maitre'd on the Sky. If it's convenient would you mind asking him if he is indeed going to be on the Sky? Thanks. I am also on this cruise, and I asked him tonight this question; he said that he will be on CB till February and then he might move to Enchanting(?) Princess.

CruiseVA Posted July 29, 2019 Author #108 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Wow - It was crazy, I'm sure the (nonexistant Fire Marshall would not approve). This is just a small taste of how packed it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombud Posted July 29, 2019 #109 Share Posted July 29, 2019 This is my 1st medallion cruise so what I say will seem obvious but I did it wrong. You do not log off like you do on Princess at Sea. That button is there but apparently doesn't work. Or so 45+ of us in line discovered. You log off in the Ocean Concierge Medallion.

Rare CineGraphic Posted July 29, 2019 #110 Share Posted July 29, 2019 We tried ordering drinks with the medallion twice. The first time we gave up after 50 minutes. Yesterday we tried again while sitting in Explorers lounge, and the waiter said his app kept telling him that we were two decks below in the piazza. We’ll stick with ordering directly from servers.....you can get a drink much faster that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseVA Posted July 29, 2019 Author #112 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) We were able to get our free drinks thru the App. I wouldn't try it in a crowded area, they find you by the little face pic they have of you. We saw the server wandering around and flagged them down. Won't use it again like CineGraphic said, easier to order face to face.

On the Regal they were super speedy and efficient with drink orders thought the ocean now app. CB was horrible, as if they see your order, but completely and intentionally ignore. The two times j tried ordering in CB I did the same. Waited like 30-40 min for a simple glass of water. I got up and left. Funny thing about an 1.5 hrs from the time I put the order through I got a message on my phone stating my drink was being delivered. Hahahaha. I was long gone and napping in my cabin by then. I complained about it on my survey. Regal no problem though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using this little guy to share access across my laptop, tablet & phone (at night in the cabin). PITA switching between them... I know, but, hey, I'm paying for 2 people which is more than the 4 device plan! It's not like i'm typing on all 3 device at the same time (although I can, I'm like the great keyboard player Rick Wakeman - of Yes, 1970-80's awesome rock band). Hey CruiseVA how's your WiFi router working?? I have one that I take to hotels that I'm planning to take on our next sailing. Planning to get the unlimited internet package for 4 devices and being able to stream movies on the tv with a Chromecast. Has your router handled the weird internet and logins well?

#love2cruise Posted July 29, 2019 #118 Share Posted July 29, 2019 On 7/26/2019 at 5:50 PM, CineGraphic said: We just checked in to our hotel in Hollywood, and all I can say is, “WOW”! Casa Pellegrino is wonderful. We were met by the owner’s son, who welcomed us with some of his mother’s homemade limoncello. They also knew we were celebrating our 20th anniversary, and decorated the room a bit for us. They are highly rated on all of the major sites, and they only have 10 or 12 rooms, so don’t delay booking if you’re the slightest bit interested. This hotel is not just an investment for them, it’s their child, and it shows in how they run things and how they treat their guests. CineGraphic, thanks for posting your affection for this hotel. I did not know it existed. Just made reservations for a Indiana friend who is flying in January 2020 for a 7 day cruise on Princess Sky...his first cruise. This is the perfect place for him to start his vacation...a retired OB-GYN physician so he knows sleepless nights. He will rest quite well here. Thank you for sharing. As a side note, a couple years ago, you provided me with information on your TA. I have used him since. Very nice guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WiFi router is working great, it's the only way I can connect my laptop for some reason. I have issues with any weird internet logins etc... I connect my phone when I'm out & about, but in the cabin I use the WiFi router - it just works. I just tried watching a Netflix show for about 10 secs, no issue at all! i did not bring my chromecast, just watched on my laptop.

Rare villauk Posted July 29, 2019 #123 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Thanks to all who attended the M&M - brilliant turnout! Our group photo hasn’t been printed out yet. We’ve had a super day in Charleston. Visited Boone Hall Plantation and could have spent another hour or two there - well worth exploring 😉. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
