It’s a love hate scenario. Don’t order at lunch on the Lido deck because you will need to wait for a runner to bring it to your table and you’ll be done with lunch before that happens. On the other hand if you are watching a football game on MUTS, order from the app. Way better than going to the bar and missing a big play and you’ll be watching the game so you don’t mind the wait. If you are guarding a table for the sushi venue and don’t want to lose your table, order your drinks in advance from the app so you don’t lose your table and quite frankly, you’ll get it quicker than from your waiter. You will learn when it’s good to order from the app and when it’s best to go to the bar. And it’s way convenient when you can order from the app and it works for your situation. Like if you are getting ready for dinner and want a cocktail in your cabin while you are getting ready, that’s way better than walking to a bar and we normally book a cabin on the Lido deck so we can make a short walk. Just depends on the situation, which you will learn trial and error. Have fun on your cruise! Fun, fun, fun.

Always wanted to try Celebrity too. 😀

No customizing unless there’s something I don’t know about. My husband drinks Old Fashioned and they make them with a splash of soda on Princess ships, which he hates so we can never order from the app. And what’s frustrating to me is when a wine is out of stock, you order it, wait 45 minutes for someone to show up and tell you it’s out of stock and then you can’t order something else with them and have to wait all over again. Why can’t the app just say “out of stock” and not let you order it? Sometimes it’s easier to just walk up to the bar unless you order something generic.

So with HAL can my husband get military benefit and I get Shareholders in the same cabin or is it one benefit per cabin? I always wanted to try HAL and Princess is now making it more attractive.

Well this news sucks! My husband and I are both veterans and we bought Carnival stock when it was $60 a share so we won’t be selling anytime soon (or possibly not in our lifetimes). I guess the good news is we now have more incentive to cruise with other lines like Holland America and Royal Caribbean. We bought 100 shares of RCCL stock when we bought our CCL stock so we would have options but have been mainly sailing with Princess because of their generous military benefit.

Open the Medallion app. Under Travel Checklist, go to Personal Information & Documents. Under the Suggested section (vs. Required), go to Arrival and Departure Groups. If you have multiple cruises listed, pick the cruise you need to request the arrival time for. Click on Arrival Group. Then pick the time group you want. Good luck!
