So is Reserve dining in Botticelli the whole cruise ?  On most Grand Class ships it has been in De Vinci the last few years   Sailing B2B Alaskan cruise in the summer

Da Vinci definitely is Reserve Dining for the entire cruise except on disembarkation day for breakfast it’s in a separate area in Botticelli.

All settled in and had a wonderful breakfast this morning with perfectly cooked eggs Benedict. Got to napped a few minutes chatting with Nicola Furlon, the  DRO. What an incredibly nice man. 
 

Today is a new day and I'm ready to get back to enjoying my cruise!!  

I agree.  Nicola is wonderful. ❤️ We are back on the Enchanted again at the beginning of November. He told us he wasn’t going to be there then. If you get a chance to talk to him again, please ask him if anything has changed he would love to see him again.

I saw a note that the old app would go away March 8. It did not specify a year. LOL

It says March 8, 2024.  It's right there when you go onto the old app.

Did you have ships WiFi ?  We have been able to go any site I wanted to but you have to pay for the WiFi 

Yes we did have ships WiFi. 

On the Enchanted in December I couldn’t even login to Princess.com when I was on the ship. When we were in port then I could login using the internet not ships WiFi. 

Does the Emerald still have the steam room by the pool or is that part of the spa now & there is a charge you use it?  
I thought I’d read they removed but I’m not sure. 
Thanks😀

I finally decided to just buy a gift card. Didn’t want to deal with this anymore.  Wasn’t happy my charge info was on shoreside since I never authorized it from past sailings. I added gift card to shoreside & it automatically changed it for all my bookings in the new app & the old app.  I’m just going to use the gift card now & leave $1 on it. 

How early would you consider booking a flight from LAX?  The flight we are looking at leaves at 12:30.  We would be flying from LAX on a Friday. What would be the best, quickest & most reliable way to get from the port to the airport?

May have stumbled onto explanation for why future cruises were dropped from profile on new app: you can no longer access future cruises using the app once onboard, not even by logging in using booking number.  Went to OceanFront to ask why I cannot use the app to book my dining reservations for my May cruise.  Same Navigator, same obfuscation.  “Of course you can book them, you just have to go to the web version of the app.”  I couldn’t help myself, I looked him square in the eyes and asked, “so just how helpful is this app?”  As @SCX22 suggested, he immediately jumped to defense mode, saying that too many people were using the app to change their dining reservations and it messed up the booking system, so that’s why it’s no longer possible to access future cruises. 

FYI!  When we were on the Enchanted in December before new app came out I needed to see something in one of my future bookings & even then being onboard I could not see my future cruises & that was the old app. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I haven’t been able to log in for 2 days.  Same spinning ball issue.

I NEVER selected a shoreside payment on the old app. Downloaded the new app and it has my credit card info also under shoreside with the “complete” button highlighted. All green ✅ for everything. How do I unselect the shoreside credit card without screwing everything up??

Same here.  Never selected shoreside payment but it’s there.

Try signing in with the booking number.

I’ve done that. Just don’t understand why we can’t see all our upcoming cruises anymore. And how is this going to work when you’re on a ship if you have to sign in each time and it doesn’t leave you staying signed in.

It just keeps telling me it is timed out. 

Me too 

Why am I not surprised the app isn’t working correctly?   Everytime I login and try to access my information it says my sessions timed out and it logs me right out again. Plus it only shows 1 of my cruises.  I’ve tried my iPhone and my iPad.😡

I'm happy to download the new app as soon as I get off my next sailing. 

 

Perhaps someone who has a sailing in the spring with everything loaded into their medallion app will be ready to download it Friday and let us know if everything moves over easily. 

I’m with you on that.  We board on the 8th.  No way I’m taking a chance on it till we get off the ship.

No, I decided just to come to my reservation in DaVinci and roll the dice with staff.

And how did that work out?

This was not true recently.  On my sailing on the Emerald in July, the DR manager in DaVinci said I could only have the same table and staff if I asked in Botticelli.  

Did you get same table every night in Botticelli if your reservation was in DaVinci?

Were you able to book the same table every night for dinner? Which dining room? Someone posted on another thread today that they could only do that in the Botticelli.  Is that true as right now my reservation is in the Da Vinci?

My account is back up & EZAIR fare is 15% lower! So try again (Enchanted & Royal Princess ships)

I’m looking at the Emerald & that’s not available.

Just looked at 2024 for Royal class ships and everything is available.  This is so strange!

Regal not available & that’s Royal class.

Whoops, I didn’t try that!  Just happy to access my account.  Now, I need to be a bit more thorough before doing the happy dance.

Also Grand, Regal, Caribbean as well as previously mentioned Emerald & Sapphire.  What’s going on? 

Same with Emerald.  No cruises available. 
 

Anyone else unable to login to their Princess account.  I can do searches but not login. 

Any preference for a dining room on the Emerald?
