But we are still testing. The thickness of the silicone seems to have made the medallion less responsive when swiping or tapping. It still works, but might be more difficult. We will try using it in some other holders and see if there is a better response and compare and contrast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have been looking on Amazon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there was some groaning from people waiting when they heard a couple trying to figure out what the trajectory of the sun would be so they can figure out which chairs they wanted. I believe they checked with NASA, repositioned a satellite, and figured out where the sun would be. ☀️ They didn't ask me. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have been looking on Amazon! We have the disc for the Apple Watch and my son who doesn’t wear an Apple Watch has the bands. We will wear it a day with the lanyard, and one with the clip. We will see if there is any difference in convenience or performance. I will say — First time with Medallion and we love it. ❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare New2cruise2022 Posted February 24 Author #133 Share Posted February 24 OceanNow — First Impressions: We will provide a full review at the end of the week. But it’s 4 PM. We just had sail away and we are still by the shipping yards. I have ordered drinks 3 times from OceanNow. Each time with 2 or more drinks. All of them were delivered in less than 20 minutes. All of the orders perfect. 2 to the stateroom and 1 out on the Lido deck. So far this is a huge success and win for Princess. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare startedwithamouse Posted February 25 #135 Share Posted February 25 Agree, your LIVE is very informative. Quality not quantity, as a couple lives with comments every two minutes in the past we just had to tune out. We were on Discovery last weekend, such a fun ship. Don't miss the 80's trivia. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avonlady6390 Posted February 25 #138 Share Posted February 25 Some drinks to try a dirty banana which is frozen so wait until warmer waters to have. The ultimate cooler vodka and watermelon , the milky way chocolate martini, and the watermelon salted margerita although that one is above plus package. Not to mention check out the bar Bellinis which is champagne cocktails.😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare New2cruise2022 Posted February 25 Author #141 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Lunch in Skagway MDR: Day 1 I lived in Europe for a few years. The crisp and crunch was amazing. The inside was moist and cooked through. The flavor is very good. Also, 16 to 22 year old boys loved the wheat rolls too. Very interested to see if this product is consistent throughout the week. Yes, it is possible to screw up green salad. They did NOT. It was nice and the ranch was good. Yes, yes, yes. Temp was pretty good, still a bit above warm. Lightly battered and crisp, with an audible bite. Heinz ketchup vs a lesser generic. Very nice flavor and the dill sauce was really good. There was a slight overcook on the salmon that impacted texture, not flavor. The dill sauce offered the slightly overcooked texture a little relief and made a nice meal. Really delicious. And moreover, Princess put the tender in tenderloin. Not unlike Elvis — I love me tender 🎵 We get it, it’s a rough rating. And we wanted more for this dish. The sauce leans a little toward Chef Boyardee in taste. 🧑🍳 It was also cold, which didn’t help the flavor, like below room temp and straight from a can. The pasta was closer to al dente, which is a good thing, but the temp killed it too. Too cold to endorse. Maybe this one just was a one off in poor execution. Either way, did not finish … a single ravioli, let alone the dish. I came to lunch for this soufflé and the beef tenderloin. They were both so good. Temperature made the soufflé sing. It was hot — steaming hot. The sauce was nice. Maybe a little dense, but, what do I know about soufflés? I can’t count the number of soufflés I’ve had in my life on three fingers. But after this, bring me some more. If you don’t like bananas 🍌, this is NOT for you. If you don’t like banana flavor, this is NOT for you. BUT if you are the one that grabs for the yellow Laffy Taffy for more than the joke on the wrapper, or you are the one that drinks 99 Bananas (and aren’t at a high school house party) then this is definitely for you. The ice cream is a little more icy than creamy, but otherwise very nice. I haven’t had fruit cocktail since third grade. Still not my thing. I put this with the ravioli. It reads a little hospital cafeteria. Not mad I tried and not upset. It’s entirely possible some people love this.

Rare New2cruise2022 Posted February 25 Author #144 Share Posted February 25 I do like live music. But these two (who are engaged to one another) are VERY good. They have great voices and the simplicity of their acoustic sound is not too loud. Just right. Also, they have a set that is hitting like greatest hits album. Songs titles that I cannot remember for the life of me (thanks to a steady flow of cocktails) but that I know we both sang along to. Also, the couple were kind enough to call me and my brother as a couple of love birds. They know us too well. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Up next, a mariachi band. I think that’s my cue … 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare New2cruise2022 Posted February 25 Author #145 Share Posted February 25 Stuck around long enough to come up with an idea for a new product — Guitar Hero: Mariachi Héroes I didnt say it was a good idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare New2cruise2022 Posted February 25 Author #146 Share Posted February 25 Karaoke? 🎤 We are three singers in and @drwbrt leans over and says, “I’m you think I’m getting up on that stage, you are [bleep] nuts.” He’s not wrong. They have some ringers in here. I second @drwbrt. Ain’t enough booze on this cruise. 🚢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and @drwbrt workout regularly but we are far from bodybuilders. 🏋️♀️ Since our cruise last, me and @drwbrt decided to work toward a healthier lifestyle. Between the 2 of us, we have shed 150 lbs. So, we will be in the gym daily. We will get you pictures of the equipment and provide context for the best times to go and how crowded the gym was or wasn’t throughout the cruise. There is a blue walking/jogging track on deck 18, aft. I love it up there. There are also some selfie walls up there if you want to take some pictures with your family. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare New2cruise2022 Posted February 25 Author #149 Share Posted February 25 Good morning. This room is so great. Also, if anyone has ever spent much time taking sunrise/sunset photos, you know it NEVER looks as good in the picture as real life. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
