What ship and sailing? I tried it, and it did not work for the Sun Princess. 

She is currently on the ship giving actual feedback on how things are working out. She boarded in Buenos Aires. I believe she is on the Sapphire

Just getting information directly from the Princess site. 

 We have booked 5 cruises with our grandson as the 3rd person booked under the above promotion which states - "3rd guest sails free".  After selecting a cruise and room if you look at the  - Up to 40% Off^†-Free room upgrade  View offer details--   it will define "FREE" for this promotion  --  

3rd and 4th Guest Sail Free Offer EXCLUDES TAXES, FEES, AND PORT EXPENSES. 

His $153 taxes, etc are a lot less than our $1100+ cruise fare pp so it is a good deal if you can get the promotion.

Same issue and I was trying to make final payment.  Finally tried and logged in under booking number and was successful that way.

Thanks for the tip.  I was able to log in this way too and check Travel Summary.

I wanted to see if anyone has dealt with this. We are sailing on 2 different ships one day apart. Our app shows the correct date for the 1st sailing, but the ship is for the 2nd sailing and the room is for the 2nd sailing. Our first sailing is incorrect on the app with the exception of the date. On the website everything is correct. How concerned should I be about this?

Have sort of the same problem.  Sailing Ruby from 22 Mar - 7 May (4 bookings) and then Grand on 8 May - 22 May (2 bookings).  Dates on new/old apps show 22 Mar - 22 May as one cruise.  Ship is shown as Grand with booking # for 15 May cruise and room # for Grand.  Excursions listed  on app are for the 15 May cruise.  The old app showing only the Ruby  was correct until we decided to book the Grand. Then the app combined both ships into one voyage and the new app carried data over the same way.  Website is correct and just plan to show up at the port with Paid In Full invoice and Travel Summary.  Don't think Princess would understand if I tried calling.

Do you or have you complained about it?

Never does any good.

How come you didn't ask the same question on post regarding loud football??  You must like it.

no worse than football at 110DB for hours on end.....

or those horribly loud concerts

Checking the Princess web site this morning, there is a  sale for the  3rd and 4th passenger  to sail  free  if booked within the next 39 odd hours - you will only have to pay for the 3rd person's taxes.  As others have said, you will need a 3 person cabin .

Not a huge deal, but we have done 31 cruises with Princess and somehow we apparently are now first timers "new to Princess" on the new app? 🙄 Not sure it is worth the effort of a chat session to try and fix it before our cruise next week or wait until onboard and see if it changes. 

We have been "blue" on old and new app until this morning.  Used the booking numbers to sign into the new app (cruise this March and last cruise in May 2025) and both now show Black Elite Seawitch on the Profile tab and on  the  Home tab when you scroll down to the "Best Wi-Fi at Sea" paragraph.it now shows Elite wi-fi package.  Old app still has Blue Seawitch.

I hate The Wake Show.  It's a waste of time and energy.  It's a long infomercial.  The crew has to stay up until the wee hours of the morning to film this.  Just let them rest for the night.

 

 

 

The Wake Show is usually on around 10PM at night for the following early morning show.  We usually see the Wake Show filming late morning or early afternoon for those not filmed in the crew areas.  No we don't watch it anymore as we are out of the room early and don't return until the show ends mid morning.

I clicked on the link to the Princess excursion that was posted on this thread.  Reviews were all good that I read.  One person, even though they liked the tour, didn't like being assigned an inside table away from the windows.   The only things I wasn't thrilled with was that the number going on the cruise was up to 300.  Looking at the picture of the catamaran,  that seems like a lot of people to be on it.  For those that have been on this tour, did the catamaran seem crowded? 

Thanks OP for starting this thread.  We are on a B2B in May also and had no idea what to do during our  time in Whittier.  We have plenty of OBC to cover the tour if Princess offers it.  

Also, thanks SCX22 for mentioning the Portage Pass Trail.  That sounds like an interesting option too.

Oh, this just keeps getting better and better.  I was trying to access my June cruise data to see if the way to print the luggage tags could be seen on the app prior to final payment, and now the app will only allow me access to my cruise that's on Thursday.  I have logged out, closed the app, rebooted my device and tried two different booking numbers and it is STILL coming up with the one that's in three days.  So, would this be because I'm three days out, or because I am no longer Ready to Cruise having disabled that authorization earlier today?  I'm done.  I'll show up in the Blue Lane on Thursday - where I expected to be because I didn't have the Medallions shipped to my home - and deal with having to provide my credit card, make sure our onboard accounts are linked and spend my cruise monitoring the portfolio.  Yep, this app sure is making my cruise memorable!  🤷‍♂️

 

Just as an aside, there are no vendors that accept MedallionPay on this itinerary - thank goodness I was able to access the list to figure that out. 🤣

Will you please post how your embarkation process worked. Think we will be blue lane too as I didn't include CC # for Shoreside.  TIA

At 500 days, life support would have to be a perk. If you can afford and have the free time for 500 days why are you nickel and diming the cruise line for for a lot about nothing perks? If you are looking for a challenge sail another line and start from scratch. You may enjoy it better.

I never said I was looking for more perks from Princess.  Satisfied with what there is now.  Maybe you need to pick a cruise line with better perks since you consider the Princess perks to be nothing. Working hard, saving money and growing old gives a person lots of free time to cruise if that's what makes them happy. .  Happy New Year.

Just don’t book Specialty dining until you get on board.

 

lots of website, app issues over past few weeks.

App let me book included dining for Sun Princess and then removed it a few days later.

Never book SD or internet on the app as we use OBC to cover the charges for SD and any other charges.  I was only posting that our new app also shows $63 the same as some others have posted.

8 minutes ago, dog said:

$63 AUZ=$43 US approximately.

Except our ships -  Ruby and Grand Princess -  are cruising in the US in May using US$$.  Someone on another thread posted that Princess IT might be using  AU pricing  for ships that are cruising in Australia now even though the ship will be cruising around the US when we are on board.

Sailing next Sunday.  My old app has a QR code, and says I'm to proceed to the Green Lane.  

 

The new app still wants me to fill in the Shoreside credit card info.

 

I'm sticking with the old app until/unless they fix the new one. 

 

Easy enough.

Post how your checkin went for you.  TIA

I read the reports of that particular cruise. As I recall, it happened a few weeks before we boarded the Sky this last June. We fell in love with the ship and crew. We had fantastic weather at each port except one. The Captain was very personable and the Cruise Director was probably the best we have experienced, including his crew. He had just boarded and his team acted as if they had all been working together for quite some time.

We were on this cruise with you and had a great time with ship, ports, food and weather was better than we had expected it to be.

I had really hoped that B2B issues might have been resolved with the new app. With 17 B2B cruises booked in the old app, they were grouped 9 cruises and 8 cruises. While I could book dining reservations for the 8 cruise group, I never could for the 9 cruise group. Then we cancelled the first of 9 cruise group and that broke things even further. It was partly out of frustration that I cancelled everything.  This is supposed to be fun!

I thought about cancelling the Grand Princess but figured my App would still be crazy.  Will just be in the slow lane when  checking in at Port Everglades and eventually board.🙃  Will try to have positive thoughts when it is getting close to boarding in Vancouver.

I NEVER selected a shoreside payment on the old app. Downloaded the new app and it has my credit card info also under shoreside with the “complete” button highlighted. All green ✅ for everything. How do I unselect the shoreside credit card without screwing everything up??

In the old app , I made sure that Shoreside Approval wasn't checked and then de-selected my husband as an authorized CC user.  Went to the new app and we both now show blue lane (6/7 completed) as our payment section still requires a check mark in Shoreside Approval.  Will take care of credit card when on the ship.

Totally agree and I've said it for years.  They need a new level above Elite.  Way too many Elites now.  30 cruises or 300 days sounds fair to me too.  Even just one more small perk added would be nice.

300 still to low for adding a new  top level.  Maybe 500.  Agree with days only

You’re seeing it on the ship from the US?  You are in the US.  What ship are you on?

Yes ship is in US and so are we. New and old app have our next two cruises (Ruby with 4 B2Bs and Grand with a B2B)  starting in March  combined into one voyage. They are using the booking # for the 6th cruise (Grand in May) for the voyage even though it is our last cruise. 
 

Th new app only shows dining available on the Grand so this pricing must be attached to the Grand

I can usually find a work around for most obstacles.  Back when we first started cruising and WiFi minutes were very dear, we would compose the body of the email we needed to send as a document, then open wifi, open our email account and do a cut-and-paste of the document into the email draft and hit send. We could stretch whatever the basic plan or our minute allowance was to last the cruise - even when they slowed down the speed so you would burn up more minutes.

 

Don't mess with someone from a long line of Scottish Hillbillies.

That is how we did email once we had laptops, etc.   Also, started inserting our pictures in the body of the email instead of sending as an attachment. That sure saved lots of minutes when sending it. 
 

But back in 2004, we only had the ship’s computers to use and they didn’t have the option to compose a document and then copy/paste it to an email.

Agreed.  Go on the old App or on the website version of the App and book your SD, if you want them. Yesterday, they showed the current prices, not the increased prices.

 

We don’t know if this is an increase for sure. They may have loaded them wrong.

I wait until we are on board to book so I can use my OBC.  So far have not had a problem waiting to book

Ship?  There seems to be a problem with Majestic - at least.

 

Ruby or Grand as the new app has them combined as one  voyage

Oh oh ,.. when and where is your cruise?  Just trying to make sense of all of this.  
 

Ruby Princess - Fort Lauderdale to LA,  to Vancouver, to Hawaii, to Alaska and end in Vancouver --23 Mar - 7 May

Grand Princess   -  Vancouver to Alaska and back to Vancouver -- 8 May - 22 May

Just can't believe the Princess will raise the price that much.
