imapost2003 Posted January 13, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Drink packages work with the medallion app to my understanding. My question, is it restricted to public areas only or could i order a drink using the app and drink package to my balcony? In the past i would assume it would be charged as room service, which the drink package would then not apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the PBP to order drinks in public areas of the ship. If the area is not covered it will give you a warning and block the order. IE (in the dining rooms via the Medallion) However you can use the package to order from your server at the table. If you don't have the package you could use the Medallion to order a drink on your balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness for the Elite mini bar set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted January 14, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2020 From the PBP terms and conditions "Can NOT be used for Room Service or Mini-Bar items." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted January 14, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2020 You can order drink at one of the public bars and then carry it to your balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosenga Posted January 15, 2020 #7 Share Posted January 15, 2020 On CB during the holidays, ordering a drink with the Medallion was only about 60% successful. Sometimes, they brought it in 5-6 minutes. Other times, it never arrived and the status simply was changed to "cancelled." It was pretty frustrating. There were times on the Sun Deck where the app couldn't find me, so it wouldn't let me order. Then, i moved 10 feet in one direction and it worked fine. It's a great idea, but still pretty buggy at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted January 20, 2020 #11 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Just returned from the Sky Princess. I had the drink package. This was confusing. Eating in the buffet. 99% of the time I was only asked if I had the package. Never used the medallion. Only sometimes did they actually have me put it on the reader. In the buffet any one would get you your drink from the bar. Within one minuet I had the drink. Fast for sure. Anytime I ordered at the bar or anywhere else, they wanted me to put the medallion on the reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franktown Posted January 21, 2020 #15 Share Posted January 21, 2020 They might be talking about the BSE upgrade. Both people must purchase the upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
