Moochi Posted January 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I have learned that on the Beyond, passengers can open the cabin door and control the curtain and lights on the phone. Is it possible to order drinks at the bars with the X app as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gladly leave my phone in my room most of the time and my seapass in a pocket. That leaves enough hands to carry two drinks. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Cheers and bon voyage - Moochi why do you have a fanny pack on your neck that doesn't match your outfit? - Well that's the only purse that I won't forget at the bar because it never leaves my neck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want ordering drinks via an app, you'll need to head to Princess... although if you talk to most of their (older) passengers, no one can figure out the system and they just end up screaming their cabin number at servers.

Rable1 Posted January 26, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I used to leave my phone in my room on airplane mode to avoid all the excess phone charges from ATT. Not sure what mode you put it in to use it and avoid the exorbitant charges when your phone is searching for a tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave it in 'Airplane' mode and turn on the WiFi, even without a WiFi package it is free to connect to use the app... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can order drinks via the app, which is linked to your account. If you order using the app, the medallion allows a server to triangulate and serve you... so the medallion tells the server you're sitting at X location in X venue. Then the order is sent to the nearest bar/service bar for quicker delivery. Alternatively, you can order drinks traditionally, either walking up to a bar, or with a server. If you walk up to the bar, the medallion triggers at that venue automatically. Wandering servers have handheld devices. Instead of telling the bartender or server your room or folio number, or handing over your card, your image just pops up on a point of sale tablet because of your proximity. Usually, the server will say "John, right?" just to make sure they're charging the correct account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope X can step up their game and come out with something similar, or even better. Although majority X passengers might enjoy the super friendly face to face service, me millennial social phobia would love to order drinks from my phone and have it delivered to the little corner I’m sitting at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
