I'm beginning to think that the problems are surfacing faster than their IT department can solve them. I use the OcenReady app in Feb but that's been replaced my the MedallionClass app. which I can't load on either of my android phones. 

Unless there a quick answer from the support team I'll just get the Medallions at the pier in January.

Maybe someday in the future they'll have the bugs worked out of the system. 

We have done the same thing with are Android phone and have the same results. I have printed out all the info and will use it when we get to the port.

No more messing with the phone or are tablet. We leave in Jan 2020 on Royal from Calif. on 7 day Mex. cruise.

Not sure which comments you are referring to, but this trip has been perfect so far! Service and food is outstanding, more than enough staff, no lines for bars or even afternoon tea/pub lunch, etc!! I have no complaints this time other than not wanting the trip to end!

Well that is good news, if you do not want the trip to end it must be better than in March.

Thanks for your come back

Currently half way through our 2 week b2b Alaska cruise. As the title says, I had never expected to sail this ship again after having a less than stellar experience in March sailing to Mexico. On that sailing, the first on the west coast, the service was the worst I had ever had on any cruise and we had so many small issues that combined together to make one problem ridden cruise! What made that cruise for us (and the only positive) was cruise director Matt O and his team! They knocked it out of the water!!!! When I heard that he and Andrew The Canadian we’re back doing Alaska I decided to give Royal another chance!

 

i plan on posting a full review once back but thought I would see if anyone had any questions I might be able to answer from the ship! What I can say at this point is that a week in, everything has been PERFECT! Matt O is as awesome as ever and his team are outstanding! My only complaint, if I had to find one, is that there is just so much going on that we can’t do it all!

 

Weather in Alaska has been spectacular. I haven’t put a jacket on in 7 days! This is my 8th trip and it has never been this sunny, blue skies, and hot in any of my previous trips! We have done 2 excursions- puppy camp in Skagway which we do every time as the kids LOVE it and 26 glaciers in Whittier, which was amazing!

 

Food and service has been top notch! This is my first trip without drink package for me or soda package for kids. We are ordering what we want, when we want it, and so far haven’t come close to paying what we would have paid for the packages! More on that when I review on my return!

 

Any questions, let me know and I will do my best to answer or find out!

We also where on the March trip and I agree with you that it was NOT a very good trip. I see by your other comments that things have NOT changed very much. When you do get back from your cruise I would like to see your overall comments for the Royal.

So far we have not been back to Princess and are trying NCL and MSC. 

In our opinion this is the BEST place to eat on the Royal. There are links on you tube to show the food also.

What ever you do be sure you get the trip insurance. I had to use it on a trip like the one you are on and it help a lot.

So have a great trip what ever you do.

Hi all

Looks like your having a great time on your cruise. Has anyone been to the IC and been able to get a LARGE specialty coffee. We where on the trip on March 30 and at that time they where out of any LARGE cups just wanted to know if they had fixed this.

HAVE A GREAT CRUISE AND THANKS

Just off the Royal Princess and they did not have large cups for my coffee so much for getting coffee cards and not being able to use them for a large cup of coffee at the international café. 

Carnival Cruise Lines covers a lot of cruise names under its banner like Princess, Carnival, Holland, Costa, etc. Do any of them have reciprocal loyalty points programs so that if you're a certain level on one line, they'll match it with another?

This may be off the line about what you asked about Carnival Cruise Lines but MSC does have a STATUS MATCH. Check it out may be of some help.

According to MSC File formats accepted are .jpg, .doc, .docx and .pdf

Well I just made out a jpeg file and then went to my mail and there it was. Never sent the jpeg so I'm not sure what they are doing. Maybe the are looking at the C.C. posts.

I see others had used different emails but I used the same one and it only took 10 weeks to get my wife back.

I hope when I book I will not have this trouble and take this much time to do something. The only reason I started this was for the status match from the other cruise lines.

Got mine in a couple of days, didn't get my wife's. Sent my wife's again and didn't hear anything. Called MSC and they said they didn't have anything for her so I sent it again and she received an email in less than a week. I may have sent her proof from Celebrity in the wrong format. This time I made sure it was a jpeg. Bob

Thanks for the info. I will try and send it with the JPEG this time and see if goes thru

I was able to get it back in 3 weeks but have not seen the one for my wife. I have called three times and sent it in two times and still nothing.

You need to call again and find someone that can do some thing, If you get someone that can help post it on CC

GOOD LUCK

The only thing I can hope for that they are lowering there prices and adding free GRATS:cool:

Thank you very much. Nice meeting you too.

Just a note I was on the BIG Boat in 64-65. US CORAL SEA CVA 43 AE2. Still sailing on others now.

We like the Lido deck just fwd of the elevators vert little noise. We will be on the Star on the 18 and have a cabin on lido.

You have a good cruise.

My favorite are BOB'S BIG BOY we have been going there for years. I think they are only out here around the LA area.

I have tried two different times and came up with a blank page.

Do to the time that I get up in CALIF. all the $500.00 cards are gone but I was able to get the $100.00 so I got 5 of them. With daylight savings time I might have a better chance next time. Next trip in April

It is per person so you get a lot of time.

Does anyone know if the Game King Video Poker machines on the Sunshine have keno? TIA

Most all Game King video poker machine that I have played do have keno. You may have to move the tape at lower left of the machine to get to it. They have 21 also but I think you have to play 50 cents on them. Just play around with machine.

If you received your gratuities from a promotion Princess will send you a confirmation by email when you ask for it. This is what we had to do for are next trip.

I was reading about the gift cards on Princess web site. It says that the Promotional gift cards EXPIRES ON 2/29/2016.

This is not good

Carnival Corporation's website states under Shareholder Benefit that "anyone traveling under a reduced rate or complimentary rate are excluded from the benefit".

With all of the constant sales on the Carnival website, how does anyone ever qualify to receive the Shareholder Benefit? People post all of the time that they receive the benefit and I don't understand how this can be with all of the Carnival sales on the website.

Maybe John Herald could reply? I don't have facebook so it would be nice to hear from him here on this board?

We put in for our benefit on all the cruises we take and have been able to receive them. Put in for them and let Carnival check and see if you are able to get them.

I'm AARP. I found Norwegian on there, but not Carnival. Any tips?

Just came from AARP web site an booth the $500.00 and $100.00 gift cards are there for Carnival.

You would think that Princess would make it easy to find the rates. I gave up looking and went an booked a cruise in Oct. 2016. Guess what it was a casino rate. Must be the luck of the casino. If you find a way to see what cruises are on that rate please let everyone know.
