We are 10 days out before cruise and no Medallions or email!

Tipping "out of control" is going to a fast casual restaurant where the person taking your order gives you a choice via touch screen for an 18%-20% tip, just for taking your order... nothing else. You pick up the order when ready and seat yourself. I have run into two places like this lately and it seems to be the trend. That's BS as the employers need to pay the employees what they work for rather than having the customers subsidize their pay. Has anyone else experienced this and what do you think of it.

Getting off a cruise early and have a late 7:30pm flight from FLL, so we need to find a place to hold up for several hours (with luggage) before we can head to airport. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Another option... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09C7VB6W2/ref=crt_ewc_img_dp_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A1Y0RPDSA9UOUB&th=1

We were able to pick ours on American over a month ago with our cruise in November. Not our first choice of airline but I think all of them are having "issues."

I would like to know this too as your review has been very clear on what is happening on the sky and does not lean on personal bias. Keep up the info please.

Eglesbrech Thank you for reporting your experience on the Sky. It is most helpful as we are booked later in the summer, but I must say things look bleak compared the way it used to be. Ugh!

To me it's an easy app "to get the hang of" but the problem is in the lack of functionality, especially when on the ship. There are numerous people that have said it was not working well on board and that when they did order a drink or food it never showed or with a food order it said "preparing" and then cancelled. Or maybe the ones that have had no problems while on board have not chimed in here except for you.

After reading all that you have written about your Princess experience, it clearly shows the indecisiveness of the Princess crew and their lack of caring. And we keep hearing again and again the uselessness of the Medallion app when on board. A few have said it worked but it seems like the minority. All I can say is sorry for your absolute nightmare on Princess. Hope you have recovered.

After reading all these remarks about the way quarantined passengers were treated by Princess, I am so disgusted. Am I alone feeling this way? SHAME ON PRINCESS!

I totally agree... it is just insane! And we are more than ready for our cruise after having three cruises cancelled in the last few years, including our beautiful 10 day anniversary cruise. Ugh...

Oh no, maybe it's another Princess app update. I just can't look no more as my OCD is in the red lane.

Indeed this is the most insane thing as it keeps changing us from blue to green, then blue and now after weeks of green/blue we are now yellow. What the heck! I am not touching this app any more and will "deal" with it when we get to the dock. I think it's designed to drive you crazy 🥴

Just want to say THANK YOU for your tip on ValueTrips.com!! Saved us some $$$$$ over what we had booked already.👍

Just had to delete my wife's and after reinstalling it updates after putting in your booking number. So no your info is not deleted as it downloads from Princess servers.

One of the most prevalent problems with the app seems to be consistently keeping the inputted information. That said, I think that is what's causing the blue lane/green lane switching back and forth. I know with us it lost what country we are from, so it bumped us to the blue lane. Ugh! Maybe it works better when on the ship... who knows. I will only put the required info in and not the suggested, so as to not complicate errors.

I'm with you on that!

Agreed! The app is problematic and we are not doing anything anymore that is not absolutely required on the app. Been on the phone with Princess a few times to get info corrected because it will not save the changes made. If we don't need to upload vaccine info on the app we will validate at the dock then. Now shows red exclamation for my wife so will need to call again!

Getting the global entry sounds like a real process, and we live in a very small town and would have to travel over a hundred plus miles for an interview. Ugh. Is it really worth it? How long does it take to get through customs without it?

Thank you all for the great advice!

Simple question. Have not cruised for long time and have the Sky scheduled with a 10am flight scheduled after disembarkation. Going from Port Everglades to Fort Lauterdale airport... will I make it in time? Are taxis reliable or what is best way to go. Than you!

I agree... I will have the digital on my phone and also have a photo of the CDC card. We want to be well prepared as our last two cruises were cancelled and we are more than ready to sail again.

Just being proactive here before we board at Port Everglades on Princess. We use a digital certificate from Vaxyes for covid vax id and wanted to make sure it is accepted. Called Princess and that was no help. Would appreciate anyone here that can shine some light on this?
