mum and son Posted December 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Hi team, The new Princess app was supposed to be launched December 1st. Has anyone heard anything further? I'm android so not sure whether we're just a bit slow on the uptake. 🫠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple & Android are aligned for updates, as it is confusing enough to have one current version out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icat2000 Posted December 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Is this just an upgrade to their existing ap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is just a serious upgrade. The current version will still work as is for a few months, according to the blurb I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it was a new app and the old app will be obsolete as of end of Jan... but I don't know. In the Google Play Store the current app has a note that says "this is the last update for the app. The app will be replaced" or something along those lines.

icat2000 Posted December 4, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Ok no worries. I just cruising before end of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted December 5, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2023 The current info. The new version isn't out yet though, and the lack of a specific dates doesn't instill much confidence about the new version. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valantine80 Posted December 5, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2023 We are cruising mid January and so far have held off downloading the app, trying to delay the trauma. Not sure now how long I should wait in the hope of the new app being available but may be wishful thinking that it will be any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove all the unnecessary bits and moving parts. Just a clean, functional app would suit me. The Carnival app is excellent, and the P&O app is ok too. They seem to have more functionality but a simpler interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it became bloated with all the covid stuff, remembering that P&O and Carnival both required two apps during that era. Loading small file sizes for avatar and ID photos into the Princess app speeds it up nicely. Carnival requires web login to prebook tours and packages. I need to go to the web login to choose dining type or book a specialty dinner. I like it that medallion has that extra functionality. In time, I think the app (both mobile and PC versions) will totally replace the personaliser, and the need to have two systems to master your booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare arxcards Posted December 10, 2023 #12 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Still nothing out there for the super-app. I am not sure how you exactly classify early December, but figure that has passed either when you go into the 2nd week or into double figures.

Checking-in via the Carnival app was super easy yesterday, but it wasn't the app. When checking-in, the app redirected me to the mobile website which partly defeats the point of having an app. When arriving at the pier for check-in, I need my printed boarding pass and government ID, and they need to take security photos - so the hub app is purely for use onboard.
