  1. Thanks Eddy, Kathy N (my wifey) is Green also. However, several weeks ago the Medallion order I placed for her, simply disappeared from the Ocean Ready App. I called Princess and they placed a new order for me.
  2. Hi CalLuvsCrusing, My wife and I live in Redding, North of you by about 2:50 hours. We also use BofA and pre-order foreign currency from them (in this case Euros). That can be done online or on your BofA phone APP. If you order a 1,000 or more, with local bank pickup, you are not charged a fee. We ordered mixed bills, however the bills are mostly large, like hundreds. In the future, I will order small denomination currency. I have heard that in some cases, banks build fees into the exchange rate thought. We are on the 11 Day | Grand Western Mediterranean Ship: Enchanted Princess Barcelona, Spain Departure Date: Oct 21, 2023, but will be staying in the Hotel Claris for two nights before departure on the Enchanted. Maybe we will bump into you on the boat?
  3. !0 Kil's OMG, that's a lot of coffee. Did customs or TSA give you a hard time? After reading your post, I looked around and found this USDA FAQ, which I find both interesting and helpful for my future travels. Can I bring green or roasted coffee beans into the United States from another country? (usda.gov)
  4. Funny you mention that. We have friends that drinks heavily, but we do not. My wife and I couldn't possibly consume 15 drinks between us and still find our way back to the room. Maybe 6 between us, over the course of the entire day, LOL
  5. My wife and I will be taking our third Princess cruise soon. "Grand Western Mediterranean – Enchanted Princess ® sets sail on Saturday, October 21, 2023" We have the Princess Plus drink package and I do not see an answer to this question in the forums. Lets say my wife and I are lounging at the pool, or in a hot tub. We decide to order a few drinks (Margarita and a Draft Beer usually) and maybe something to eat. My wife's phone with the princess APP, is in the cabin, but I have mine with me to place the order. #1) Am I able to use the APP to place a delivery order for food and drinks for both of us, as long as we both have our Medallions with us? #2) Same scenario, but if I walk up to a bar by myself (using my Medalion) to get a drink for my wife and I (2 drinks) while she is at the pool or hot tub? Thanks in advance,
  6. It is an adults only section where you rent a lounge or cabana. I believe you can rent for as little as 1/2 days, but we try to do full sea days, because the regular deck area is hard to find seating sometimes.

  7. Sorry for the duplicate posts everyone. I was trying to quote the question(s) and reply back to the specific people asking them. My apologies.

  10. Eddy, I do not have a check-in option on my Medalion App. I drilled down all of the green check marked links as shown in this attached screenshot, and I see nothing resembling boarding times. Am I not looking in the correct place?

  12. I'll be Saling on the Enchanted on Oct 21, 2023, from Barcelona, Spain. The online (computer version of the Travel Itinerary shows Check-in: 12:00 to 5:00. Are the priority boarding members supposed to arrive at 12:00? My wife and I are Mini STE Reserve Collection customers. The only reason I ask, is we want to head straight up to the Sanctuary and try to reserve some seating for 3 or 4 days before they are sold out. Thank You
  13. JRG, I agree. Lavaaza is first class coffee. Lavazza super crema espresso whole bean is one of my all time, top five coffee beans. Currently, I a, running Saigon #2, Dark Espresso thru my ECM Mechanica V Slim Espresso Machine. On October 21st, my wife and I are on the Enchanted, starting a trip from Barcelona. As others have mentioned, I sure hope the International Cafe is using Lavazza whole beans to pull shots on the espresso machines?
  14. We book trips very early and select the Reserve Collection (AKA Club Class) mini suites. Getting on and off the ship quickly, the dedicated wait staff in separate dining room (Capri on the Regal and Enchanted), and the rooms have partially shaded decks via the skywalk. It's an expensive upgrade, but worth it for my wife and I. We are in our mid-sixties and retired.
