pms4104 Posted June 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2018 When the Regal left the US for the European season, I seem to recall that the ***** work on the Regal was to be deferred til she returned stateside. Further, the Caribbean Princess would be the summertime focus for the ***** workers, as that ship would be in the Caribbean and close to the program gurus. Wonder if there's any progress.

dides Posted June 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I thought it was interesting that Sam Hawker-Thomas popped up on Caribbean Princess recently. She's got a new role as Fleet Manager, Entertainment Operations now but was very influential in the Medallion rollout on Regal and continues to promote it on Twitter.

Sandra Well, the entertainment on Caribbean Princess needs some improvement...They did have the "on demand" TV though, which was nice.

wheezedr Posted June 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2018 They would be wise to repair the propulsion system before worrying about *****. Doubt ***** is a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted June 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Given a choice between the ***** or on demand TV, I'll take the TV system anytime. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pms4104 Posted June 2, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Makes no matter to me ... just curious because the ***** was rolled out, albeit on a very limited basis, with great fanfare ... and now the silence (from both Princess and CCL Corporate) is deafening.

voljeep Posted June 2, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I still believe most, if not all, of the ***** experience will eventually be officially scrapped, due to feedback from our customer base... maybe continue with Medallion.net and expand it to other ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinfool Posted June 2, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I think the IT people have been retasked to Holland America, doing their level best to screw up the HAL website. It's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted June 2, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2018 ...but was very influential in the Medallion rollout on Regal and continues to promote it on Twitter. That's certainly something to be proud of. What a resume builder: "Worked on a project that was never completed." I'm sure lots of companies are looking for just that skill.

They have way too much invested in the ***** to scrap it. It's just a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can just throw it on the the investment scrap heap, along with "Water Fountain Show" on Regal/Royal, the "Night Sky Lounge" up-charge on-deck nightclub, and Curtis Stone/Share.

NoWhiners Posted June 3, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I think the IT people have been retasked to Holland America, doing their level best to screw up the HAL website. It's awful. OMG--yes, this is so true! I tried to sue it the other day and it is completely unusable now. I couldn't find anything I was looking for and it didn't make sense. Sorry to interject a HAL note but couldn't help myself :D We now return you to your regular program... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsEmmaPeel Posted June 3, 2018 #16 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hey - they gotta do something with the warehouse full of ***** shirts they had ready by now for the entire fleet. The shirts work. Sorry - I'm just bitter that my upcoming Royal sailing will not have Medallion.net. I could not care less about the medallions (well, that's I lie; I'm fascinated by the IoT tech), but we hate that the ***** failure has dragged down Medallion.net with it. It would have made a material difference to us on this cruise (for fun and less fun reasons).

caribill Posted June 5, 2018 #20 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Everything is fine with the ***** as this current report from a stock analysis company indicates: Debuting at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2017, the OCEAN medallion offers a step-up in guest experience. The size of a quarter, it allows for keyless entry and for a guest to leave the ship and get back on, allows a guest to track and message other members of their party, gives GPS directions to any point on the ship, the capability to check out ports before you get there, to buy things without having a wallet handy and have it delivered to any spot on the ship, and not only that, learns your preferences and tailors recommendations based on them, offering every passenger a virtual concierge. As of now, it is only on the Regal Princess and is in tweaking mode before a full rollout to ostensibly all of its cruise lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
