No Doctor in their right mind would sign a letter for a person in your age group guaranteeing your well being...end of story....

The letter doesn't ask for a guarantee that something won't happen.  A form letter I saw simply asked for certification that the passenger/patient does not have certain chronic medical conditions.  If that is all that is being asked to be certified, it seems to me that is a pretty simple yes/no answer.  

The letter is asking for a guarantee, no doctor in their right mind would guarantee you, for fear of being sued by you if you get sick, that's the world we live in now, deal with it......

Would YOU sign a letter saying that you guarantee that something won't happen to another person...

YES, I am proud that Princess took the steps to make sure that the system, and their passengers are protected.....

The United States should not bail the cruise industry out, let the countries that flag them bail them out, if you claim to be an American company and flag your ships in another country to avoid labor laws you are on your own....

The Caribbean Princess is being told to stay off shore.....awaiting test kits

MAGA..the death rate is only relative if it happens to you or yours......ignorance is bliss...

I watched the Denzel Washington movie Flight on a plane. Complete with plane being upside down.

If you all chip in $10 to the captain, he will do a barrel roll.....

If you live in NYS you cannot purchase Cancel For Any Reason Insurance...read your policy carefully.....

......

If you live in NY, you cant purchase Cancel For Any Reason insurance......so be careful and read the policy..

With this virus going around, that price will be down to 5K soon....if not cheaper....

Remember the BOGO coffee card coupon in the old Princess coupon book...

It costs $5.00 a day with Verizon's travel plan, you just use your plan when you are off the ship. just pay for one phone

If you are on an Ocean Medallion cruise, your medallion is used to purchase detergent and pay for the machines.

You don’t get a cruise card... at least on the cruise I was on we didn’t get one.

My wife did not like the idea of the medallion, so she just carried her card which was issued to us when we checked in at the pier....

If you are really paranoid about the medallion just lock it up in the safe and carry your card......

Wine is relative to what you know, it is safe to know that if you buy the middle of the road bottle of wine, meaning mid price range you will get the best bang for your buck....I make my own wine and I have had some of the cheaper wines that made me say woah! meaning great tasting...but I have had some of the mid range wine that were fantastic. Above that price it is up to you, the idea is to loosen the tongue and to talk....and have a great time....

On our Baltic cruise we bought a bottle for the room every other day, great local wines, we brought them on board with out a problem or corkage fee.  We had the bottle in the back pack and never had a problem, we also purchased bottles for dinner from the wine list.

Been there in 2015, we never felt unsafe, besides there are crazy people everywhere......

I believe that pre-cruise you can create an avatar thru Ocean Ready and that pic will be the one that pops up

 

will find out soon, soon as in a little over 2 months ...

I dont think that avatars would work unless you look exactly like an avatar, security and money are involved, it's got to be you...

Thank you for the heads up on the photo, but why did the bars etc stop using the medallion after the first day?  We have friends going on their first cruise on the Caribbean and I keep trying to keep them updated on info.  

Sometimes when you were at the bar and you had your medallion the bartender would just look at the pictures on his screen of the people that were in the vicinity and look at you and say your name and you confirmed it and you were good to go, they never even touched you card or medallion....

First let me say it was a great cruise, the bars and restaurants stopped using the medallion after the first day, if you also had your card and it seems that everyone did, they just went by the four digits on your card, my wife and I did not like the fact that when you passed certain screens your picture would pop up, she just carried her card only and had no problems getting on or off the ship and used her card just like the medallion on the medallion box.

Walking up to your room and having the door automatically unlock was 50/50.  Mostly everyone used the lanyards but a few bought the clip on holder for the medallion. And make sure that when you take your picture for security and id on the app that you are happy with that picture because that is the one that pops up, my wife was not happy about that....we will be taking MUCH better pictures next cruise....

Great, thank you...
