Will they be doing any random testing? A sharps box is for disposing of needles for those who need to inject medicines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no big secret that there were awful issues "pre cruise" with the Medallion App. That being said, maybe by Monday night, could someone post about their experience with the app while on board? Is everything working well? Thanks! Also, I would still love to see a speed test screen cap for the onboard wifi please. Again thank you have an incredible adventure! We are on the last Majestic Alaskan cruise of this season, Sept. 26th. We aren’t looking great this morning. Picture updates are pretty slow. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are even asking if you would like to share a table with others that you may not know. It was packed for breakfast and the food was outstanding! Which MDR is breakfast in? We love to have breakfast in the MDR, we don't particularly care for the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seem to be enough outlets seeing that you don’t need one to charge your devices. We are in an aft facing deluxe balcony (OMG, it’s wonderful) but the room steward has made note that some people have complained about soot on the balcony. There is even a mat down by the door because the carpet was getting dirty with people bringing it back into the room with them. It’s clean under the mat right now. I think they want to keep it that way. also, there are signs by and inside the elevators asking people to mask up inside and not to fill with more than six people. Nobody is really adhering to those suggestions, though! Lucky you! Please enjoy that asked balcony I love watching the tread of the water of the ship moves along it's like a peaceful relaxing view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted July 26, 2021 #506 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thanks everyone! From Seattle, you are having to sail outside of the Inside Passage, I assume that is where there were some high winds and high seas? Maybe they have had supply issues on their Prime Rib, with the restart. Cant imagine that they would want to take that away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you happen to go to guest services can you ask if printed patters will be available after they go paperless. I'm sailing on the Grand in Sept. and am absorbing all the information. I am not using the APP so am interested in how boarding went to check in at the pier. If an phone is required to view the dining room menu I suppose they will have some regular printed ones. Thanks again for sharing. They are already paperless by default, but your steward asks what you prefer. The new printed Patter is very nice and compact - no pages of sales ads! 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For much of the world, yes. but heading north you run into problems due to the angle of the satellites. It will get worse the farther north you go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzinNoony Posted July 26, 2021 #512 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I would love to see an embarkation lunch menu from the MDR. Hoping they still have the avocado appetizer and the raviolis!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kml246 Posted July 26, 2021 #514 Share Posted July 26, 2021 We'd be interested in opinions of the production shows at night. In the past, some are good, others not so. We want to see the comedian that was on last night, so we changed our dinner reservation. Not so sure about the show for tonight. Thanks, and hope you are having a great time.

jimdee3636 Posted July 26, 2021 #521 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Is the International Cafe' "fully" open, i.e., 24 hours a day, the usual food and beverage offerings, etc.? It's my favorite spot on any Princess ship! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the MedallionClass app show you as Concerto and once you boarded they moved you to Allegro? We would like to know about this to, we had originally booked Traditional Dining before the DMW app came out. There are 4 of us traveling together, but would like to have 2 or more dine with us. We are as of right now booked in the Concerto as of the Medallionclass app, but would like the Allegro DR. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
