travelloverontario Posted July 2 #1 Share Posted July 2 Title says it all. I have read that most menus are now QR codes (at least for bars). Will I need wifi to be able to bring those up? Or will be under the intranet? I will not be buying wifi. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gotten printed menus at all food venues since restart no need to look at a menu on your phone. You can see menus every morning on your TV as well 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted July 2 #4 Share Posted July 2 I haven't run into a bar with a qr code yet. But if you do, you will need to be connected to wifi, but you won't need Internet access. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted July 2 #5 Share Posted July 2 In words my DW understands. You can access the Princess App without a paid WIFI plan. Otherwebsites, no. You also should be able to access menus that will be mostly accurate just before your cruise and print them out at home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memoak Posted July 3 #8 Share Posted July 3 I have still never seen a QR. ode on ships ever. We have cruised over 8 times on Princess in the last 2 years and have always been handed a menu. The menus are also posted on your TV and outside the venue if handling paper menus bothers you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelloverontario Posted July 3 Author #12 Share Posted July 3 I was probably watching vidoes that were filmed right after re-opening, thus so many qr codes being shown. Good to know that real menus are now the norm again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare startedwithamouse Posted July 3 #13 Share Posted July 3 Rarely saw a printed menu at a bar or lounge on Sapphire. QR code signs were on bars. Easy to access, you need to be connected to the ship's wifi to access the intranet, no paid wifi needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a QR code on any table 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BamaVol Posted July 3 #22 Share Posted July 3 (edited) I’m probably oblivious but I can’t recall seeing QR codes anywhere. Only paper menus in the MDR and bound drink menus in the bars. But we only started sailing Princess in March 2023. Edited July 3 by BamaVol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People dance next to tables in front of tables under tables etc. I also have never needed a menu to order a drink. It would be pretty hard to use QR codes in food venues with tablecloths. I have always had paper menus in both bars and restaurants on board over the last 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare tulok Posted July 3 #25 Share Posted July 3 agree with @memoak On Emerald a few weeks ago, printed menus were on the bar tables and handed printed menus at restaurants. Never used QR codes. Now if they were on the table 🤷🏼♀️. They were never needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
