Good news, we both got negative RAT tests 🐀🐀 so all hunky dory. We and one other couple from our new found buddies board at 6.30. Don't know when the other couple board but we'll all travel to port together in maxi taxi. Hotel is very comfortable, we just checked out of our late checkout. They are holding our bags for us, we wandered down to Southbank this morning and will go out again this afternoon. Hotel has pleasant, comfortable lobby so will all hang out here until it's time to set off. Thanks again everyone for all the invaluable information and updates 👍 💕💕 I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful cruise - just think when you get home the stories you can tell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sparky74 Posted July 24, 2022 #503 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Enjoy the Coral Princess when you FINALLY get onboard. Although I struggled a bit with some aspects of the Medallion app, I loved the medallion itself. Especially how my stateroom door knew I was approaching and was unlocked by the time I got there. It was also handy to be able to locate traveling companions. You don’t have to have the app to this this; you can do it via the big screens near the lifts if you tap your medallion to login. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After checking CC I got some ironing done. 😁 We haven’t got the dining room table sorted yet but have made some progress. On Saturday we both sorted our night stands and some other junk the bedroom. Lots more to do but if we do some everyday we'll make it. 31 sleeps to go! 😱 I wonder how all the Coral Princess people are doing. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still feel that “ahhh I’m onboard” as we walked through the entry 🥳🥳🥳 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral and Royal class will offer us something a little bit different in layout, but I expect we will know it is signature Princess within minutes of being aboard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunatefew Posted July 25, 2022 #523 Share Posted July 25, 2022 On 7/12/2022 at 10:17 PM, Cbtours said: We were interstate in the group! We tested day before we even flew to Brisbane on 13 June. Then retested 24hrs before boarding, tested as soon as we got home and also the 3 day slot all as protocols. We’ve been fine whole time and loved the 17 days we were onboard. Can you please tell me when you have done the home kit covid test 24 hours prior to boarding and the test shows negative, how or where do you show the result ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I up-loaded the photo of ours onto the Medallion app. Don't take the test strip to the terminal. If they ask, you can show the check-in staff the photo on your phone or your camera. We weren't asked for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
