Rare leck57 Posted November 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2019 In the past I have completed surveys sent by Princess following each cruise. Today I have received an email which looks legit with a survey link attached and asking me to keep the questions confidential. There is a link attached or the option to cut and paste another link in to my browser. The email has come from Princess Cruises <noreply@qemailserver.com These days I'm wary of clicking on any link or site I'm not aware of and the email address is different to other emails I receive from Princess. Is anyone aware of this email address and whether it is legit. Otherwise I'll delete. Thanks to anyone that can assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamingreen Posted November 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I got one today as well. Didn't do the survey yet. I previously had one like this (couldn't tell you if it was the from the same email though) and it was regarding authors, book signings and cocktail parties with the authors during the cruise. I think the author was a female, but don't remember her name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory2020 Posted November 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I got one addressed to my husband at my email today. I put a cruise on hold yesterday and it was a survey regarding the medallion and if we knew about the program before booking and what we thought of it.

Rare leck57 Posted November 16, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Thanks for the two replies to date. I'm not keen to open the link until/if I know it is real. If not these things may introduce malware and other stuff to your pc. The trouble is these things look so authentic it is hard to tell. A bloke at work had a program to run links through and see if they were spam but he was a pc wizz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedferg Posted November 16, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I took the survey, about Medallion features, there were no questions that needed 'personal information' from me. So I assume it is safe. BTW I stated 'No Interest' to most questions and commented that problems I'd heard of with Ocean Ready deterred me from downloading etc. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted November 16, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I got a survey today and when I clicked on it, it said I already took this survey. Huh. News to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jangor Posted November 16, 2019 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Our next cruise is not until December 1, but if I get a survey I will be reluctant to fulfill it. Princess has more than enough information about me already and if I use Ocean Medallion on my cruise, they will know even more (what activities I like, what I drink, how much time I spend out of cabin, etc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. If they want me to fill out a survey then give me $10 OBC for ny next cruise and I'll consider it. 😏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedferg Posted November 17, 2019 #19 Share Posted November 17, 2019 For those who have not seen recent survey, all questions were similar to voljeep's above. All Medallion related and which aspects of Medallion are important to you on a scale of 0 - 10. I gave 0 to most but admitted I had never been on a Medallion cruise. My new car has keyless entry, push button start, lock doors on walk away - no big deal at first be starting to like it. I assume Medallion ease of opening door and not needing to show card in bar might be useful but cannot see us using the App and other features.

Rare geoherb Posted November 17, 2019 #20 Share Posted November 17, 2019 The best feature for me was being able to see where DH was on the ship. Since I'm sailing solo on my next cruise, that feature won't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
