2and2

I am lowly at the factory I work at. Again that is why I am premier on vacation. I definitely think it is worth it .

We only cruise once every three or four years. I work fifty-six hour work weeks, so I do not even want to worry about what something is costing on board. I want top shelf drinks, I want the best food, no buffets, and if I want a keepsake photo I can get one. The 401 k might take a hit, but this blue collar worker rarely gets to live it up like that. I don't want to do the math. Of coarse it favors the bean counters from corporate.

Thank you. That would be easy to overlook.

Thank you. I hope you bear with me, this is my first Princess cruise with a medallion. We as are just a few weeks away from our cruise. We are ocean ready, and have ordered our medallions. I have no idea what Ocean Notifications is . So I take that to mean that the day they ship the medallions, Princess will send an email to the email address that I provided. It has nothing to do the app at all. Does that sound correct

You said they sent an email two weeks before they shipped them. You cleared up that you meant they shipped them two weeks before the cruise and the email was sent the day they shipped them.

What? You get a tracking number/information two weeks before they ship them? I am confused. Others?

How did you know that your medallions where shipped? How where you notified of that ? .

Thanks again. We are a couple of weeks away from our cruise. Right now, either of my apps do not show a boarding pass on the app. When does it show up on the app. Just wondering did you use the new or old app, or did you use the app at all? I don't want to start another app debate though.

Thank you for the report. We will be there in a few weeks. We got lot B. Right now my paperwork says boarding is 12:00 to 2:00. How did you know they would let you board at 10:40? What was it like for sail away with the temperature so cold? I want to not check in my carry-on. Did it appear that many did that? Did the porters check in your bags, or did you?

It is my understanding that you do not even have to have the princess app at all . Is the shore side credit card required to get your medallion delivered if you do everything on a laptop or call in ? Will I regret not using the app while on board ?

I had to phone in my premier specialty dinning reservations. Mainly because we wanted to dine with another couple with a table for four. Even then I had to use all four of my credits for one night, and their four credits for the other night. That should be simple to do on-line, but I could not.

Could be exciting on Regal out of Galveston if the Houston Texans make the Superbowl.

What? I responded to a poster on this thread about the new app and my experience.

I bet if your wife would have loaded the new app, you would show all checked in and green, and she would have been out of the green lane. That is what mine shows. I decided not to worry about it.

But what about the new app? I am glad you at least got the old one ocean ready.

I am with you. I hope they leave the old app around longer than they have said. I like the new app, but since I do not want to approve the shore side credit card, it more or less does not show me as ocean ready, and does not allow me to see all my details. If they somehow fix that credit card approval situation that causes the 6 out of seven check marks , I would probably only open and use the new app .

We finally downloaded the new app for our mid February cruise. We are ocean ready green on the old app. Sure enough I am 6 out of 7 on the new app. Wife is 7 out of 7. When she looks at her app, I am the one 7 out of 7, she is 6 out of seven. Recapping what I have read so far, it seems most are not going to approve the on-shore credit card, and as long as they have their medallion ordered and delivered, they are not going to even worry about. That is how I am going to handle it. Am I missing something. Where on the new app do you find print travel summary or print luggage tags like the old one. Also, we got a reserve class room. Where do we find our boarding time. I can not find it on either app.

Thank for the information. Good to hear there are places to sit for a bit in the outside line, and another line for those with mobility issues.. Did you go to Roatan? Do you know what the walk to the beach is like? Can not do the chair lift.

Did you park ? Do they let you bring a carry on bag onto the ship yourself. Are there places to sit down in the line if need be. What was luggage check in like.

The cables, cord connectors and conduit have been there a long time. I lost you, what does 2018 have to do with it.

I agree with you. Most likely a buzzer type or horn type. I will pay attention at the muster station training and see if an alarm will sound to report to your muster station in a real emergency. I know the captain will verbally announce, but that intercom system will not notify all. I think there is different alarm sequences for different type of emergencies. I am sure they test the alarm system often, probably on sea days .

The Regal is a beautiful ship. I go on cruises only once every three years or so. When I do , I like the middle of the ship. I work fifty-six hour work weeks, so I feel it is worth the money to be where I like. If I can't get the middle, I try to get the rear over the front. I feel it is a smoother ride. I like decks nine, ten, and eleven. And I personally like the starboard side. Absolutely get a balcony room. It lets you get away from the crowd, and it is a million dollar view. Specialty dinning is a full blown fine dinning experience. It is dinning like your average working man could not normally afford. And even then it is an extra thirty-five dollars or so. The casual dinning is restaurants on board that are not free like the main dinning room, and buffet are. Casual dinning restaurants cost around fifteen dollars. You have to research the ship to find the names of the restaurants

Thanks. I wondered if it was a problem for everyone. At least we know now that you can be green and have six out of seven check marks.

I am an electrician but not sure exactly what they are. I would say a sensor or an alarm. The enclosure, and cord connector are waterproof and heavy duty.

My last visit to Grand Cayman with Norwegian, the waves seemed choppy with wind and cloud cover. They decided to go ahead and tender over. We got on the tender boat, got our seat, and I could see how wavy it really was. I wanted no part of the ride. We got off the tender before it left and off it went. It turned out, that was the last tender as all the excursion got cancelled because of the weather. All those that tendered over had to return in those waves . I hated missing on of my favorite ports, but it was a good decision. Maybe Princess has learned from the past.
