Again, I don't see why the third party would be the one, nor needs to be the one, to store the CC to be used. Princess ought to be the one storing it in their System and all the 3rd party vendor needs is some sort of Medallion identifier for the guest so that when tapped in a store, the vendor 3rd party system knows that the customer/guest is authorized to make a purchase and the purchase details get transmitted to the ship system which can then bill the guest's on-board account (or provided CC). I don't know that we have definitive info that the 3rd party company actually gets readable credit card numbers, expiry dates, and CVV codes.

It is just open embarkation from whenever they open the terminal doors until about an hour before sailing. The Princess Travel Summary in the Cruise Personalizer will contain an official window for check-in. However, 99% of the time, they will be open for check-in ahead of the earliest time listed.

Has anyone yet added the Shoreside setup, then ordered Medallions, and then removed the Shoreside setup? It might take you out of Green in the App, but with Medallions ordered and to be shipped, that means Green at the port. I am curious to know if the order remains intact - I believe it will stay.

Even so, this guy ought to have been engaged in selecting airline, dates, and flights. This is one of the weirdest travel stories I have read. IMO, the guy is nuts to be so cavalier about this travel. Also, why does he call his friend about the situation if he has no care about the booking?

I would expect mass confusion when they ultimately load up the Sun MDR to DMW. It's a whole new concept supposedly for different service types, so how are they going to build that into DMW? I'd be prepared to be seeking out DR Mgmt for a while to request what you want. First voyages are coming soon, so it will be a mad scramble when it happens.

Oh, no doubt, but OTT IMO.

IMO, ridiculous to be asking guests for their investment account logins. Totally unnecessary as well. PCL ought to be putting a stop to it. They should need nothing more than the uploaded statement page - with appropriate blackouts.

Seriously doubt it. Included means included.

Order the premium sundae. Hold the booze. Hold the candy. Hold the sucker. Etcetera.

If a guest has Medallions, go Green Lane, regardless of the stupid Shoreside setup. I previously suggested a way to order Medallions and then drop the Shoreside setup if desired. Have not seen anyone respond who did the steps proving it works, but I think it will. The check-in agents won't care about the Shoreside thing.

Tell 'em what you think of this at PCL HQ. No point in complaining on the ship as they are powerless to do anything.

Sometime last year, PCL claimed they were adding a notice to the included chat feature. AFAIK, that never happened. Perhaps they decided to scrap it instead of fixing it. Side effect might be a few more folks get MedallionNet. Supposedly, at least 75% of the ship has it due to booking one of the two fare packages. We use WhatsApp as we always have the internet package.

Perhaps that website did not have the final schedule at the time. NFL doesn't release final schedule until Week 17 is completed. I guess we'll only know if someone on a ship reports it.

Sorry that didn't work out for you.

Steelers-Ravens and Texans-Colts are on SAT at different times, so no conflicts there. As expected, Bills - Dolphins is Sunday night. The 1pm SUN and 4/4:30pm SUN games will be indeterminate for the ship. The other AFC South game is at 1pm.

<deleted> Thought you were referring to playoffs.

Short of using a TA, I would contact Princess and get with a CVP (Cruise Vacation Planner). I bet you ended up with the overseas call center where you can end up with misinformation. 21 is the drinking age for most voyages. It might help to have a letter from the other teen's parents that they are authorized to travel with you. However, it really is no big deal to swap cabins on board. There is also no issue in ordering Plus Fare package on board day 1. Besides, any OBC you have goes towards paying for it and you will get $10 rebated for not having Medallion mailed. Of course, make sure the people are swapped in the System before ordering. You can also order the Medallion Net for teens, but I would simply upgrade your include package to a 4-device package and then the teens can login. Everyone will always have one connection and if anyone has a second device, you just bump off the original.

Yes, you can email to: AskOceanMedallion@carnival.com

This is a great way to treat Suite guests considering what is paid for the voyage.

I'd be a bit shocked if that was not shown.

I, for one, never expected anything different. New software does not fix old data. Corrupt data has been a bug-a-boo since the App was launched in June, 2021, and they really have not straightened out all of those problems. If they focused on that, they would improve things hugely IMO.

Most people I have read about with this issue have reached out to the App support team. I would not count on a software update to correct an individual data issue (although yours seems a bit different with two different loyalty levels).

And it will be new as well.

Same to you and all those who either enjoy or put up with my missives.

Not in terms of the cost. Buy when you prefer. If done on board your OBC can cover the cost - to the extent you have OBC funds.
