I meant 'save' button BTW!! Now confusing myself 🙄

You made 5 trips to the techies! Your patience deserves an award!

Really the worst thing about it is that Princess choose to ignore all the problems. We've taken around 50 cruises, haven't cruised with Princess in quite a few years. Can't believe the problems I've had - and ongoing - trying to get our info accepted by the app. It just won't work, have tried filling in details on the app and on line, the 'confirm' button remains greyed out. Deleted and reinstalled the app. Same thing. Certainly doesn't make me want to cruise with Princess again. I just hope our actual cruise experience is a whole lot better than the experience we've had with the useless Medallion! Have now given up, I've wasted enough time on it.

Thanks for all the info. We've been to Istanbul a couple of times before, our flight arrives in at 7.00 pm and we board the ship the next day. The departure port info is more important to us so we can find an hotel near that, we don't need to be near the popular sights. However, departure from Sarayburnu means we'll book an hotel near there, with the bonus of being near Sultanahmet if we want a stroll round in the morning. Shall be very wary of the taxi drivers! The hotel our TA has proposed has an airport shuttle so we may book that.

I've just started a new thread on this subject as I'm getting conflicting information on which port we'll be embarking in April. Need to find out before we book an hotel. I hope it's Sarayburnu, as Galataport is gigantic, we were there last year on Celebrity, it takes over 15 minutes to walk from the ship to the street.

Please can someone who embarked on Seabourn in Istanbul last year (2022) tell me where the ship docks? Am getting conflicting information for this year – is it the big, new terminal at Galataport, or the old one in town, Sarayburnu Port?

Shall try to remember to do so. If you've not been to Kotor before, the sail in and out is stunning.

Actually, that did cross my mind and makes perfect sense.

I hope your problem is fixed now. Maybe you'd like to draw the attention of the Ocean Force techies to these three threads!! Keep them busy for a while.....😉

Plenty of time for it to be switched back to Kotor, as ours has just been. Seems they wouldn't miss out on such a special occasion of the 4 ships meeting to promote it to the max. Wonder if the new owners are still feeling their way around!

On the Journey 22 April cruise they originally had the Evening as Kotor, then changed it to a Day. Now they’ve changed it back to an Evening in Kotor.

Tempted to say that and a lot more.

Thanks, tried this but - just to be sure I'm doing this correctly - I fill in all the fields under 'Information' - but the save button is still greyed out. I've discovered that as we're in a Club Mini Suite we can board at any time so I'm not stressing over that bit but it would be nice to be able to input all our info. This thread - all 3 parts - must be the longest running with the most problems in the history of cruise critic. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

No, they didn't as it still doesn't work for me! Tried DH's almost new iPhone, Ipad, website. Still will not save anything.

Thanks for all the replies on Club Mini Suite dining, two good one not! We only booked it because we found a good price but are glad we'll be seated, hopefully with no delays, in a small part of the dining room. We enjoy meeting other people, so having the same people in that part most evenings should also be a bonus.

Thanks, that is very good to know. And apologies, I realise I've committed the sin of a thread creep 😳 although the conversation was leaning towards dining questions!

We have a Club Mini Suite, which apparently means we dine in a smaller part of the dining room, any time, with no wait. Has anyone had experience of this, does it work?

Thank you PacknGoNow. Will certainly give the medallion a go when on board. I’ve already tried filling in details on both on the app and on the web using the blue hyperlink “Try our website version”. Neither allows me to save anything. When I have more time I may email and ask for help, thanks for the address. At the moment I have a lot more travel arrangements to make and don’t intend to spend even more time playing around with this thing. As cappricio says, right now we’re planning to just get to the ship with our hard copy paperwork. At least my ordering of the medallions was a breeze. Jsn55 – yes! It is patently obvious by the number of people posting on CC who are having problems (and who knows how many others who don’t post on here), that there is a big flaw. Princess should acknowledge this and fix it. It is mind boggling they've let this go on for years.

I so agree with you about the phone Bill. I believe you can use the medallion for all kinds of things but we plan to stick to good, old fashioned methods. I occasionally carry my phone on a cruise if I think there may be something worthwhile to take a photo of. Otherwise I don't need it as an attachment 24/7. Brenda

I don't believe you have to. I figure I have two good legs and can walk to a bar to order a drink! Although DH usually does that for me.

😱I've given up with trying to get our info saved for the moment. If I have the time and - more to the point - the patience, I'll try again. At least I feel some kind of victory having successfully, or so it seems, ordered the medallion. Even though I don't plan to use it except, maybe, to open our stateroom door.

Thanks! 😊

Thank you! I didn't notice that. Have done it and it has been confirmed. At least something works!

Hi Bill So sorry you're having problems but welcome to my club. I absolutely detest this Medallion thing! It is mind boggling that the problems continue and Princess seem impervious to any of it. Good question, how many pages in parts 1 & 2 of the thread!! Where On Earth are you trying to fill this thing in? We're in Australia and trying to get our country code accepted required many tries. Still wouldn't save the info anyway!

Sorry, I didn't see anything that said medallion selection? We live in Australia, so I wouldn't be ordering them and paying, plus we leave two months before the cruise so I would have no faith in them arriving before we left home.
