Rare trbarton Posted October 12, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I visited Pier 27 today to see the Majestic Princess. It’s the 1st cruise ship to visit San Francisco since the pandemic. I was lucky to be interviewed by a local TV station, CBS channel 5. I’m supposed to be on the 5 o’clock news. I’ve enclosed the shirt that I was wearing. Enjoy my photos. Perhaps I’m a celebrity now.

joepeka Posted October 12, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Thank you for the photos! With luck, we will be on Majestic when it calls on SF in late April next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalLuvsCrusingToo Posted October 12, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Nice to see ships back in SF. We got off Majestic on Sat. in San Pedro. Wish we could have stayed on to get back home & avoid the Southwest hassle. Were returning to Majestic in less than 2 weeks. Our first stop is SF, overniter. Thinking we could go home & come back? But we'll probably just stay onboard. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trbarton Posted October 12, 2021 Author #6 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I was interviewed by a local TV station today. Enjoy my 5 seconds of fame. Perhaps Princess will offer me a free cruise for saying that cruising is safer than at a football game with 40,000 people. Here’s another photo being interviewed with my friend Norma.

Keeping my fingers crossed for my Medallion for my October 31st cruise. At least an email. Tom😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFtraveller Posted October 12, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hey! I saw you tonight on CBS5 website. Now I know what you look like LOL. I'm trying to find when the ship leaves this week.

The room card to access everything [room, billing, on & off ship] is out. Everything is done a medallion now with the MedallionClass app. Heres the YouTubes to how they are supposed to work. But no worries if you do not have a fairly new smartphone. It will be on the computer soon & reps will be at the pier to assist those who don't do anything beforehand Overview https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DeS5lfD-zQZM&ved=2ahUKEwiu4K-QjMXzAhVPSzABHeYHA2UQwqsBegQIBxAE&usg=AOvVaw008gk5xkDsPmaNhctG0LOg Ocean Ready - Personalizer deactivated https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Dxq_X2X8JHKA&ved=2ahUKEwiu4K-QjMXzAhVPSzABHeYHA2UQwqsBegQIBhAF&usg=AOvVaw1hQqKad5lbzSOk_it9TAuV Follow the links for the others: Ocean Now - ordering / purchasing Ocean Compass - ship info / map / etc Ocean View - entertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to find when the ship leaves this week. Will it be today 12th? And reading the roll calls, what is the Medallion please? It leaves at 6 pm today. Look at this app…https://sfport.com/sites/default/files/Cruises/Docs/2021.pdf…to see the schedule for cruise ships in San Francisco. The Medallion is a device that is about the size of a quarter. It does some of the things your cruise card did but more things. When you’re near your stateroom it automatically unlocks your door. Great if you have things in your hands. You can also order drinks/food & it’s able to locate you. If someone is looking for you it will show them your location. It’s not perfect & people have had problems but it still does more than just having a cruise card. You could still ask for a cruise card once on the ship but why would you? From my reading about people using the Medallion there are more things that it does vs the problems some people have had. It’s usually mailed to you in advanced, mine is in transit, for my October 31st cruise. It’s free & will come with a lanyard but their are Accessories you can order to wear your Medallion. I’ve bought a holder, from Amazon, that the Medallion will fit into & clip on my belt. Look on You Tube & you will see some good videos about using the Medallion. Any questions please ask.

rj59 Posted October 13, 2021 #15 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Sailing under the Golden Gate is memorable, although going under Lion’s Gate Bridge is more fun, with bicyclists and walkers stopping to wave. SF charges some steep port fees, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so great if you are just passing by your cabin with no intention of going inside it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFtraveller Posted October 13, 2021 #18 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Thanks Tom. I that is my go to source but you know what I read it wrong and I’m so bummed I didn’t see it sail out tonight sad face. I also couldn’t find a rollcall for it. As for the medallion, I think I would just lose it. So it’s good that it comes with a lanyard and you’ve got that special belt clip. I guess it would just be like wearing it around my neck for the key card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
