I know how a fish swimming upstream must feel.
For me, the medallion and the app would be a major plus when considering another Princess cruise. I loved being able to open the door with my elbow when my hands were full, no need to put stuff down to use a card. I loved the locate function on the app to find and meet up with my cabin mate. Whether I ordered drinks and food through the menu or not, I liked being able to look at them (the menus) on the app before getting to the bar or restaurant. Maybe the schedule is a bit clunky but it worked well for what I wanted it to do. Oh, and I especially liked being able to hook the medallion to my watch band so I didn't have to try and remember it each time I left the cabin.
