If you clear your cache out of your browser then the airlines don't know anything.  By clearing the cache on a computer and or browser you are basically getting rid of all your search history.  Cheers

Yes that's what I heard and that's why hubby tells me to use the Opera browser. It doesn't save anything but I only use it sometimes bc it's annoying you gotta enter in your user id/PW for everything. But like I said, even had my travel mate check on his computer. He hadn't looked at all and the same thing happened to him.

I have a cruise booked out of San Juan for Mar 2023;  the airfare is around $1,900 per person round trip.  Hope airfares come down before I book something.  The above airfare is Delta; which is my preferred airline.  

I hope your airfare comes down before then as well. I wouldn't even fly to the moon for that price!

The thing that frustrated me the most was when I searched for the flights, with the exact flights chosen, the website was showing me the $300+ price, and once I selected both my flights and clicked next the fare jumped to double and gave me the reason that fares fluctuate often and quickly. I checked many different sites and they all pulled that same crap. I even had my friend try on his computer and same thing. I heard that if your computer knows you have been looking at the same flights/vacation often it will raise prices to make you think there is a high demand and you purchase. 

If you don't want to call it a fanny pack, you can also call it a belt bag. I have several of the Everyday Belt Bags from Lululemon. They are only $38, and have one zippered pocket on the part next to your body (the outside part but the back of it), and three mesh pockets inside (two small, one large enough to fit a phone) and the main zippered compartment. I can fit my small wallet, key, cell phone, my Ray Bans in their case, and a small tub of lip balm and hand sani.

I agree with above I do not like wearing the fanny packs like a cross body, esp since I have a bigger bust. If you buy a fanny pack, wear it as a fanny pack, or just get a cross body. It's ok to like something that you once thought was unhip. I grew up in the 80s. We were all over the nylon bright color fanny packs. The ones today are much more sleek. Unless of course you want to wear that kind to be ironic.

Airfares are going up too.  

Airfare was what killed it for me! I was this close to booking a cruise to Southern Caribbean out of San Juan. Last minute decided to check airfare and it went up from high $300 to high $600. No way! So we booked something that didn't require flying.

I don’t know if others have run into this issue when filling out the Personal Information and Documentation section on the app. The Save button always remained greyed out for me when I tried adding/changing any applicable data in the various sections. 
 

However, I was finally able to click on the Save button when I used the online web interface once I completely filled out all the applicable sections to include the Emergency Contact information.
 

BTW I thought I had filled out all of the applicable entrees on the App, but maybe I hadn’t. Who knows. 
 

This is my issue exactly, only I still get the greyed out SAVE button on the web version. I made sure to fill in every field, even on the app and still nothing. Glad it worked out for you.

I emailed their IT dept and have gotten a reply but since my sailing isn't until Oct they told me pax with approaching sail dates get priority with help.

Any way to check whether you have the most current version of the app?  Don't really want to risk a delete app if I am up to date. Yeah, I know ... you're not going to lose your data... but I am a "if it isn't broke don't fix it" guy.  I *think* I'm up to date.  How do you check that?

Go to your phone's settings, then apps, then find the Medallion app. Instead of opening it scroll down to the bottom and it should say the version. Mine is 3.0.102003 for android

I have seen that before...but for the life of me I cannot remember what I did to fix it.  I'll ask the obvious...have you logged off and back on again?

Lol yes. I actually have been logged out many times due to inactivity, which I think is too quick.

Just found the MedallionNet section on the app and for my 7 day cruise it's $69.99 for one device. The verbage on the Princess site is very deceiving! Wonder if I can share a one device plan with my cabin mate and just switch off for making video calls back home.

Is the wifi price more once you get on board? Also I found it is $9.99 for one device. Is that for the entire voyage or per day? And is it one device at a time or strictly just one device?

I hope not! I put a deposit on one of them last Fri. Excursions are showing for La Paz and nothing else, and still won't let me reserve one. I read you can't reserve one until you are 12 weeks out or less?

Oh well then that sucks. I loved the salads and quiches.

My cruise isn't until Oct but there are some excursions showing for one port. When do more excursions usually show up for other ports? Also I am trying to book the Whale Shark swimming excursions but it gives me an error "Guests with a error" with that incorrect grammar.

La Patisserie is La Poop.

What didn't you like about it?

Do they still have cabins ready for you as soon as you board? I remember that was a thing the last time I sailed with them.

I also love the landromats onbaord. I know some will refuse to do laundry on their holiday but it's nice to be able to use it if you really need to. We had to dry our sneakers last time. It came in handy.

A little off topic, but is the International Cafe the same as La Patisserie or a similar venue? I really loved the quiches and salads at IC on the CB. Hope it's similar. But it has been almost 10 years.

Veterans also.  Need to send copy of DD214 the first time.  For subsequent bookings, this information is maintained and the amount appears right away.

Oh also, maybe I missed it but how much is the military OBC? Is it the same for anyone who qualifies or does it vary by cabin type?

Oh wow that's nice. My husband is a disabled veteran. I'll let him know for next time, since he won't be coming this time with me.

I'm booked on Princess, and there is an excursion available for $189. I've also looked online and see various tour companies offering this but dates are late Oct/early Nov. I'm afraid we might be too early to see any. However, I did find one company that stated the season usually starts Oct 1, but not much of a savings since their meeting point is in La Paz and cruise ships dock a little further north, so adding in the cost of a taxi round trip. Also reading due to local govt restrictions, boat sizes are capped at around 10 anyway? Should I just purchase the cruise line excursion?

other than the things already mentioned: 

• military OBC (which is refundable)
• the International Cafe (I am sad about how many cruises I didn't know that it was included & not an extra charge), great sandwiches & I always take zip lock baggies to have cookies in my cabin
• pre purchase bottled water if you don't have a beverage plan
• if your shoe falls apart on the cruise the upholsterer might be able to fix it for you (free)
• made to order omelets in the buffet

 

What is the military obc and is it only for active duty or for veterans as well?

You can also do this with Filipino food.

Who do you talk to to request these dishes?

They key is you have to show you were tested elsewhere within the time frame but did not get the answer back as you should have.  If you just get to the pier and want a test without having the proof of a test that did not report back to you. 

Yes I understood that part as well but I did not add that to my post. I will def make an appt for the free test, and if I don't get the results, at least I have proof I took one and then test at the pier.

Unless of course I can find a rapid test for free. Then no issue.

Our available appts and testing centers here in Vegas have been really a hassle. When the omicron variant was driving up numbers, many people were testing (good) but if you had symptoms many times you couldn't even get an appt for two weeks out. Most people are no longer contagious and already recovered by then.

Contacting Princess won't help you with your problem. Try contacting the dev team directly. Be detailed but nice. They fixed a bunch of issues for me.

 

askoceanmedallion@carnival.com

Is this email specifically for dining, or the app in general?

I did find this on the Princess website so that is nice. I guess the $100 may be for people who are not vaxxed and don't have a neg test ready, then you are charged $100. However I didn't see that info, but we are vaxxed.

What does the secondary health screening consist of? I've been slowly able to add in more of the required info and have been changed from blue to now yellow.
