By any chance can you tell me wifi price if you buy per day on board? Trying to work out “value” of Plus package to us. 
 

many thanks! 

I asked at guest relations earlier in the cruise and they said the new price is $20 per day or less 50 percent for elites at $10 per day.

Was half that last august. That's Aussie dollars

[~*Lou*~]

Wow thank you so much. Am trying to talk friends who have never cruised before into going with us on Grand to NZ next January! 
 

By any chance do you know cocktail prices? 

[yes!yes!yes!]

Most of the cocktails are under $16.  I will try and remember to take a photo of the menu

[yes!yes!yes!]

[yes!yes!yes!]

Internet is a bit dodgy today.

Are you sure that is the onboard purchase price? If so it hasn't changed. 

 

I'd heard the online prepurchase price was now $20/$10 up from $14/$7 when I checked it during one of our cruises last year.

The prices of most things aboard are going up from 20th February. The Plus package has recently gone up to $65 for cruises after this date and specialty restaurants are going up as well. It is fair to presume that most amenities will also go up, including bar prices & wifi.

I'm certain. 

I paid $5 Australian in august pte paid with elite discount.

When I enquired onboard prior to the 6 night portion. Those prices were given. He also said it made no difference if i pre paid or paid on the first day aboard. I didn't need to pay at all as my WiFi had been  put on my account  for all 3 cruises.

Agree with this

[yes!yes!yes!]

I haven't caught this breakfast menu on these cruises

[yes!yes!yes!]

Ok. I had my usual smoked salmon and 2 pots of tea. I also tried the Mexican breakfast.

The omelette was overcooked and the mince inside was greasy. The salsa and the refried beans were excellent. If you ate them with the omelette it made it more pleasant.

Service today was alot quicker.

We bought it for today and it was $27 for one device and $40 for up to 4. That can be shared across members of the cabin

[spersephone]

I think it shows up as an option in the app while you’re onboard.

[yes!yes!yes!]

What app?

It wouldn't load on my phone for this cruise

[yes!yes!yes!]

I'm hoping today is sushi in the buffetat lunch time. It was on last sea day of the other 13 nighter.

Just wish I was hungry

Has anyone had problems with the Medallion app? No one seems to have mentioned it and I have read on other forums there have been teething problems. Do we still get free wifi for Elite?

Hi, I'm having problems with the app. If I log in using booking number (that's all I've tried) I can't see how to log out or how to switch to another booked cruise. The app automatically updated a while ago, I was okay with the old one, but can't log out of this new one.  I have an Android phone. Any help please? 🥴

 

You no longer get free wifi as Elite, you get a 50% discount.

Thanks Jean, I just reread the Plus fare details and we get 1 device free. I am using an Iphone so not much help to you. I couldn't log on to start with but that was because I was using my name and had to access the booking using my husbands name. Our three upcoming cruises are listed but I have only accessed the next one in March. I assume you are logged out when you close the app. We are not very tech savvy!!!!

[yes!yes!yes!]

There was no sushi today 

 

But there was cherry pie.

I also went out by the pool and had a bit of the Aussie BBQ. The fried rice and ribs were nice

[yes!yes!yes!]

I have packed one suitcase for putting out tonight. The other one I will walk off in the morning. Probably only wore half of what I brought with me. I was hoping on warmer weather and had a lot of summer stuff I didn't wear.

Thanks. Closing app didn't log me out, I've had to uninstall and reinstall app to get out of it. A cruise I am doing with family later this year has just had a substantial price reduction. Our Princess cruise planner couldn't reprice it as such so did new bookings, meaning we lost all info previously logged in app, ie order medallion, restaurant bookings etc. I used app very successfully last year but this updated version has me stumped!

Thanks, you just made me check our Christmas cruise for this year and with all the price increases it is $2,500 dearer! Thank goodness I booked it the day before they put up the prices.
