Good news for everyone struggling with the Medallion App. You can now update your info on the Princess.com web page. Go to your trip summary and you will see the following option, "Try our web version". I did everything in my browser. Saved my photo to my drive and uploaded it into the web page.

I did struggle to sign on using my login and password but there is an option in the bottom to sign in with name, birthdate and cruise number. That got me in immediately.

I just booked a cruise and struggled with this same screen. I then went and bought a flight on EZair and it magically (?) appeared on this page. SO my guess is this is only for Princess transfers.

Previously I had selected Own Car and it kept saying the date is wrong. Why would I go to the terminal a day early?

Also, you can now ignore the phone APP. They have updated the website to allow the information to be entered in your browser.

I have been ploughing through the requirements to register details on the Princess Medallion app. I don't know what to put for Travel Information. So far I have "starting your journey" (one of the two options), "Private Car" then "Own car". Does this page only have to be filled out if we have bought Princess transfers? Otherwise some of the questions are silly.

 

My husband has lost patience with the Medallion app. He grumbled "We have to spend two weeks filling out stuff for a one week cruise".

On our first cruise we booked an outside cabin. About a month before departure (after payment) the prices for balconies dropped to match what I paid for the outside cabin ("for new bookings ONLY"). I called my PVP and asked if she could do anything for me. She put me on hold for about 15 minutes and got back and announced she had upgraded us to a balcony cabin.

I'm a big fan of Princess Vacation Planner staff.

I've had it happen as well. Sometimes it doesn't recognize my location. As soon as I sign in to my account it adjusts for CA$.

Thanks NavyVeteran for that tip.

I tried to book my October excursion and it happened just like you said. It took the tour price from the OBC. That's great.

I had a little too much OBC and was wondering how I might spend it if I couldn't use it for excursions. Now, no worries. I can eat and drink what's left :D

I tried to book an excursion for our California Coastal cruise next October and was told I had to pay within 24 hours or lose my booking. I went searching the Princess.com web site and found this.

- Booking Shore Excursions

Onboard credit will not be accepted for pre-reservations, however, it can be used once onboard to off-set payment for additional excursions purchased onboard.

This is on their generic FAQ and not related to any specific cruise. I know they backed off the policy on this spring's Alaska cruise, but it looks like this is becoming the new policy.

I find the buffet coffee too strong. Lots of milk and sugar solve that. Taste is okay. I haven't tried the dining room. International Cafe was okay coffee.

And for comparison, I hate Starbucks.

How can you find out if a certain cabin has those bunks? I want to avoid them.

I don't know details on specific ships, but when I am scanning the deck plans I check for the icons that show 3rd or 4th guest allowed. Those are either a single couch or bunks. A couch is okay but the bunks are a no-no. As far as I know Princess only has the couches on the mini-suites or higher.
