Thanks, Sunshine.
So what if someone wants to avoid the Medallion for whatever reason. I don't think it's my job to lecture them on that subject. Whatever happened to "live and let live"?
My usual lines I rank thus:
1 Carnival
2 HAL
3 Princess
It's just one item, but I base this mostly on the burgers. Guy's is the best anywhere, IMO. Dive In is a close second. Princess is inedible, IMO. I find the food elsewhere on the ship falls into the same pattern (except that there is some good food on Princess from time to time.)
It might sound like I'm splitting hairs here, but what's required here is an app. The app does not have to be accessed only by a cell phone. Our friend says she uses her Ipad. I assume there is also an android application for other devices like that. Some of the problem inexperienced users are having is trying to do everything on a tiny cell phone screen. I don't think everyone understands that apps can work on other mobile devices that might be easier to navigate. "Phone app" is sometimes a misleading term.
Of course, Princess has now provided a web site for those who can't handle the phone app. I also see that Australia is saying the app is the only way at this time. Who knows what the future will bring?
Bring your book. Princess libraries continue to shrink and there are mostly games there (Scrabble, etc., multiple sets.) I always take a fully loaded Kindle.
That was a sad day. We met a wonderful sommelier years ago on the Pacific Princess who taught me more about wine than any of those on board wind tastings.
