Would assume this will be demand driven - if we ask CityCat often enough and enough people, maybe they’ll see the need? 🙏🤞

Belmont Babe is using a PCP not a TA - I think a PCP is a “Princess Cruise Planner” which a lot of us use, a very helpful and efficient Princess employee 😄 I love my PCP - he can find and do things on a Princess cruise that I didn’t know even existed!! Like how to finally get that bl😡🤬dy Medallion App to work.

Naaa - it opened the QCode but couldn’t find the P&O server - 😟

So, for those having problems with the app on their phones or tablets - this version for desktops / laptops actually works?

And there is nothing quite like the 3 or 4 scoops of icecream thick shakes that Princess make. 😋🥤

Interesting, if you have a look at the thread I mention from the Princess forum, the poster said they could upload documents🤔 The old “US and them” at work again - works for US residents but nowhere else? Princess Thread Title: How to Complete Pre-boarding Documentation online without using the Medallion App

Just saw a thread about this on the Princess forum here on CC: if you are having trouble navigating the Medallion App - this link can be used on a laptop: https://oceanready-personalinfo-ui.prod.ocean.com/ It will need to be pasted into the www box like below. Good luck, haven’t tried it myself as I have been able to negotiate the app so far. Just sharing to help. Cheers

Seeing I don’t drink cocktails or any alcoholic drinks - I think the price of a thick shake is fair when compared to any other drink 🙄

Great response, for a start, auto gratuity would never be as low as $7.50pp/pd - that’s the first clue to it being a rubbish post. The second is it was on ‘bookhead” 👍

Exactly - all of these, getting excited now 👏👏

Coral arrives in Brisbane on the 7th at 04:00am, with her first cruise the 16th - what do you think they do at the terminal for 9 or 10 days? 🤔

Rats do that though, multiply at a rate that is scary 🙀

Hi everyone, on the book of faces just now they were talking about verifying the RAT test by an upload ………… of what I’m not sure? How do you understand this one 🤔

With you, the bridge has a drought of 58m and the Grand class ships are 61.26m tall so ……… ??

I hope, as each month passes and Covid cases lessen, that a lot of these requirements will go. 🤞

Great hotel to watch the ships slip into the OPT, you might have to go outside to see Explorer cruise under the bridge in the early hours tho.

We were told on Ruby that the reason the staff have to ask for your cabin# is for double checking of the actual owner of the medallion 🤔 By the way, everything about the medallion app before Covid was surprisingly simple and went like clockwork. I feel for the Princess programmers that have to make a single application work to suit who knows how many different countries health mandates just so we can get on a ship. Can you imagine what we might have had to do if there WASN’T an application sorting all this information out? as I think all this info forms part of the required Covid reporting to States / Counties etc etc. 🤔

You are probably correct about this, 24hrs before the cruise will we find out. 👍 The app was (like everything) simpler before Covid - we didn’t even HAVE colours back in ‘20.

Yellow might be the new green 😁 with the Medallion app, who would know 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for that 👍 Just happy that at the time everything worked - 🤞 for next time - Oct at the OPT for us.

I agree. You will know the answer to this shortly anyway 👍

I can only go by my experience boarding Ruby Princess with Medallion in Feb 2020. After we dropped our bags off, Princess personnel with iPads came over to us and asked to check our details. So opened up our own iPad - started the app and presto, everything we needed was there. At the time it was a copy of ID, photo and checkin complete. All was good so we were sent to wait for our # to board to be called. Up to the desks, collect Medallions - double check details and off to board. Took no time at all. Have no idea if wifi was required for this or not - never actually considered this. It just all worked. 🤔

Just an interesting point about Covid and travel. We have just travelled overseas, visiting Singapore, Amsterdam and Prague. Other than needing masks while on board our flights, there were no restrictions in Singapore, Netherlands or Czech Republic. Even though we filled out the NL entry papers, at no point were we asked for our vaccination certificates or anything else. Until we returned to Australia …… we had to show our Vax certificates and proof of the completed and approved DPD - a Digital Passenger Declaration that needs to be submitted to ABF from 48hrs before boarding for the flight home. (Replaces that yellow hand filled one) At no point did we feel uncomfortable, threatened or in fear for our health from Covid and we ate out nearly every lunch and dinner at a variety of places, shopped for the odd souvenirs etc. The world is moving on and we are so glad that we got a chance to get back out there and see this. Can’t wait to get back to cruising in 30 days 😎

Sounds good to me, just counting down the days now and waiting for Green Lanes (after completing health document bit within the 48hr time bubble of course) 👍

I uploaded a photo - my original has been saved in iBooks from MYGOV as a PDF. I then took a photo from within the iPad and the app accepts the photo. As CDaze71 said, the photo upload is easy, as is the photo of our heads 😆 I will carry a printout when we board, same as ID (passport) and both a print and photo of the Attestation to RAT test. 😮‍💨 We cruised on Ruby in Feb ‘20 and it had Medallion and I’m sure it was all so much simpler before Covid!!
