Yes, but it would be a NTH.  I find myself taking a trip by a DR to check it out on the wall ahead of time.  Often I am checking to see what we might have so I know which wine to bring to dinner.  Sometimes we get a preview for the next night at dinner as our friend is pescatarian.

Putting the menus on there would be phenomenal.  Should be simple too.  Just another html page.

Our family of five will be traveling with a 11 year old girl.  My question is, do we need to buy a medallion for her?  Thanks in advance for your response.

You don't buy medallion's, they are given to you.  They replace the cruise card. 

 

And, yes, she will need one.

Hello @jeanandjim. Yes we do plan to incorporate dining room menu listings in a future release.

Is it planned to have these apps replace the printed Princess Patter sometime in the future?

IMO.......I don't think that will happen completely for a long time.

There are still many that shun technology so they have to keep it simple for them.

Question about the Medallion Class app on Android phones

 

I downloaded the app on a Samsung Galaxy (android) and on an Iphone and an I pad. On the Iphone and Ipad the OCEANREADY Pass is displayed on a single screen (no scrolling required) so you can save a screenshot of the entire pass. 

 

On the android phones (2 different ones) the OCEANREADY pass shows the name and voyage information and the top part of the QR code block. You have to scroll down to see the entire QR block but then the name and part of the passenger information is missing.  I called the ocean navigator line and asked if I could just capture the QR code and they said no, that the entire OCEANREADY pass would need to be captured. I know that I can just use the printed boarding pass and I have that printed out but it is really frustrating to have the app say you need to do  screen capture of the pass and then the app makes it impossible.

Hmm... smacks of perhaps a slap-dash conversion to Android???

I'm impressed you got the MedallionClass app to work on your Galaxy. I can install it but when I bring it up it freezes completely.  I did get OceanReady to work as a separate app and my have some help for your problem.  On my Galaxy S10, I went into settings/display and there adjusted the screen "zoom" and made the font size smaller.  Now the my name, ship, sailing date etc. and the QR Code display on one screen.  If they want all the voyage information below the QR Code on the same page, I don't see how that is possible on any phone screen.

Can the Medallion Class app be used for anything at all when the cruise is not a medallion class cruise?

Thanks for that tip on the zoom.  I had never bothered to use it before.  I had two decent screen shots but I re-did them. 

 

You know, there is no reason we cannot pull up the BP's in the OCEAN Medallion App at check-in - just like airline BP's.  I have never swiped and saved those off.  Only reason for a screen shot IMO is if cannot get the app up or a passenger is not connected to internet at the time (like not connected to a mobile provider).

I don't see how.  I would expect to have similar behavior with it as sitting here at home.

I was just hoping that Princess had an app. There are other companies that have apps and show a countdown and roll call for your cruise. I am surprised Princess has nothing other than medallion apps.

I agree.  Very behind the times as most travel industry big players have well-developed mobile apps by now.  Princess only has browser interface for their website functions.  The legacy internet runs off browsers using <shipname>.princess.com when on board.

It worked for me also. As far as the internet goes, the last time I was in the Fort Lauderdale cruise terminal we could not get on line until after we boarded the ship.

I have an Android and just searched the play store for the Medallion app and downloaded it

Wow Wow Wow!!!   we are getting on in Rome and don't plan on being connected to the internet until we are safely on-board and connected thru medallion-net.

Thanx,Jim😎

Were you able to get the MedallionClass app to work?  What Android phone do you have?

I've asked this question many times directly with Santa Clarita and haven't gotten the answer to if there is enough bandwidth to add the evening menu to the intranet app.  We have the practice of going to the DR sometime during the day and looking on the wall for the evening fare and that's not a big deal.  Most times it doesn't matter because we are going there anyway and even if we were to decide ahead of time what we were going to order, our waiter would probably talk us out of it based upon what he has seen.

Still does not work with a Samsung Galaxy S10 running Android 9. The current version of the Medallion Class app opens but then locks up and is completely unresponsive.

I have the same problem with a Samsung S8 running Android 9.

 

Any fixes?

 

Thank you.
