Rare Cruise Raider Posted January 21 #1076 Share Posted January 21 So, not sure if this even deserves a new thread so just adding it here. I have several cruises booked for the future with Princess and used the new app almost exclusively on one cruise already. I like the new app for the most part but have a couple of serious concerns with it: I could watch the muster safety video but it would never check me off as having done so. I held onto the old app to play the video again and it gave me my check mark ✅ that I had viewed it. As mentioned, I have several cruises booked with Princess but wanted to look into making some arrangements for a B2B cruise I have booked for March and April. Before those cruises, we have two other cruises booked. So, I logged out of my new app to log in under my booking number for my future cruises. It still takes me back to my upcoming cruise next month instead of the one associated with the booking number I entered. Hmmmm? That’s not going to work out for us very well, as I can’t even enter a cruise to order my medallion, reserve dinner, see the events .. just basic planning functionality is gone. I may have to go into the website for some of this cruise planning but it still won’t give me some of the things I will need. Is anybody else experiencing this issue? Maybe someone has a work around? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the old app. It still works and "should" do what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say the same thing had been happening to me - no matter what booking numbers I input, the app would open up to our first cruise which is in March. But just now I put in 2 booking #s - Nov 2024 and Feb 2025 - and the info under my Profile has the correct dates, booking #s and staterooms for each cruise. My new app must have changed within the past few days To get the Medallions order for all our cruises through June 2025, I did everything through the old app. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new app shows me as a blue card I have 4 cruises from now until Sept 2025 and they also show on old app. Old app I'm elite and new app I'm blue as well. I purchased internet for all upcoming 4 cruises yesterday using the old app to be sure I got the elite discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenrosebags Posted January 21 #1086 Share Posted January 21 My old app is still accurate for my next cruise in 50 days. I'm sure it won't be working by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare susieq76 Posted January 22 #1092 Share Posted January 22 I can not get 7/7 on this app for me (my husband is 7/7). With the shoreside account it will not let me fill it out completely. It lets me put the CC info in but won't let me put the dang zip code/email in. So annoying. Anyone else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many have said, and we have experienced, the only thing that matters is ordering the medallion. Have your husband order the medallions. When you get to the port all you need is either the medallion (which puts you in green lane) or go to the blue lane to pick up your medallion. In the last 4 cruises, not once have they looked at our phones or the app. Please don't feel stressed about the app in regards to green lane. Another FYI, even though we qualify for free shipping, we were "charged" $10 for shipping when we made the medallion order. Our medallions just shipped and the $10 charge had been removed. I thought about calling to complain about the fee, but decided $10 wasn't enough for me to spend time on now and I could deal with it onboard if I wanted. Thankfully, it straightened out on it's own. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you know that your medallions where shipped? How where you notified of that ? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they ship, which is about 2 weeks before sailing…they will send an email with tracking information. It’s usually USPS if you’re in the US. You should receive the medallions about 11 days before sailing. I have received them once from Fedex, but usually it’s USPS. Once, no tracking email, they just arrived. Don’t know what is confusing about this? YMMV 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhobbkf Posted January 22 #1099 Share Posted January 22 The email comes from "Ocean Notifications". It details your order and the tracking number. Ours have always come via USPS. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cleared up that you meant they shipped them two weeks before the cruise and the email was sent the day they shipped them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
