Agree with all of this. My wife is celiac and has had nothing but positive experiences dining on Princess. Be sure they put their gluten allergy in the OceanNow app ahead of time too.

Phew!! 🙃

We were on Discovery at the end of August and we loved it as a place to get away from It all and relax. The modern jukebox (for use when no live music was being played) was a very nice touch. VERY interested to hear what’s happening to this venue. I hope we keep getting “”live” updates from cruisers onboard.

For that price and a couple of minutes to pickup at port...seems a no brainer to not do delivery...but it's great we can get it ahead of time now if we want to.

Really?? I swear I recall vividly that both people had to have the drink package or they were afraid too much sharing would occur. Oh well….lol

I did try to search this answer but to no avail….can only 1 person in a stateroom have the plus/premier fare/package or do both pax 1 and 2 have to? In the past the various drink packages were very clear that everyone in the cabin (at least pax 1 and 2) had to have the same level of package (to prevent sharing) but now I can’t find references to that anywhere (even for the standalone drink packages). Have things changed perhaps? I am thinking of maybe upgrading onboard on day 1 but it’s not worth it if both of us have to have it (& no, I wouldn’t be sharing either).

We are leaving from Seattle and likely arriving around Noon (long drive from home) but that’s all good…it’s the inconsistency of Princess messaging that’s bugging me (as well as the buggy app) as we near our first cruise in 5 years. It’s gonna be an amazing time though….we cannot wait! 🙂

In my ‘super important’ info email about our cruise leaving Sunday they were very specific about choosing a terminal arrival time in the app…..which I am at a loss to find so I have to assume it’s another change that occurred in one department but another department isn’t aware? Or am I missing something?

Ahhhh excellent! We sale Aug 24 so perhaps we will be among the first to get mailed ones. I already selected “pick up at port” since that was the only option but I’ll get checking to see if there’s a change

We can’t get medallions shipped to Canada with these changes now can we?

To followup I called the number I was given and the only “help” I got was a suggestion to uninstall and reinstall…which I had already done to no avail. They then tried to upsell me to premier packages. Sigh. After the call I did the install again and still nothing. Then magically 2 days later….it worked!! (Final payment is today and we are excited to get going again:) )

Well she got back to me today and admitted that she made a mistake and offered to put me in touch with the Ocean Navigators since she doesn't have any access to issues with the app. I haven't heard from them yet, but I did try the web-based app as was also suggested and it worked perfectly to make reservations. Odd that it works but the regular app doesn't....and no reason why....

“Something” is up for sure. It shows my ‘black’ pin on my profile on the app so one assumes it believes I’m Elite…. Good idea to call Princess….I didn’t know they had an app help line lol 👍 I will try that after hearing back from my PVP again.

I’m Captains Circle Elite and we are doing our first cruise back since 2018 in August and this is our first time using the app and Dine My Way. Also….first time ever booking with a Princess Vacation Planner. I was sure I could make reservations before final payment as an Elite member (Princess website tells me I can) but when I tried in the app I was not allowed and got a pop up saying what you can see below. Of course I noticed that this message ALSO says I should be able to reserve as I am elite. My booking shows that I’m elite so it’s entered correctly. So I contacted my PVP and she said that even if you are Elite you have to have final payment made before a reservation can be made. I asked her if this is a new change or what’s up with that as everything seems to say that I can do it. I haven’t heard back yet. Anyone have any similar experiences? Only thing I can think is that not all of us in the room are Elite but I didn’t think that should matter….
