Princess must hate their IT dept

If they did, then they would have fired some people a long time ago, but there doesn't appear to be any evidence that happened.  Or, they replaced with just as bad.  That said, my sense is that the App is performing much better than it did in 2021 & 2022.

No consolation for those with issues but the app works ok for me. I’ve had no issues at all, everything working as expected. This is on an IPhone 15 Pro running IOS 17.6.1 and an IPhone 14 on same IOS version.

In my experience it is often down to poor development processes with lack of good QA systems in place.

 

 Also contact changes not thought through that don't fit the way the systems were initially designed and short timescales.

 

They are still fixing the MDR options.

 

Take unlimited drinks it would not surprise me that the POS accounting/package implications has drink limits coded and no provision for unlimited was in the design.

 

Probably bodge eg. set the limit to 99 and code the POS/app to treat that as special case unlimited.

 

Anyone with Premier90 looked at the how many drinks have I had section of the app?

The new release is much snappier (iPhone 15 Pro Max / Galaxy S24 Ultra) but still seems to have teething problems.  Everything looks great for my DH, but my boarding pass and profile have me as “New To Princess”.   The previous journeys show all the port days of three sets of B2B2B2Nths, so they’ve got the right profile.  
 

New.  To.   Princess.  
 

I literally sailed Princess (and SITMAR) in short pants.   On *steamships*.   With skeet shooting from a .410! 
 

Materially, I don’t think it makes a difference for boarding since we booked so late were picking up medallions at the pier, but it’s amusing to me that a profile that has cruise history visible on one screen can simultaneously be classified as “New To Princess” on another.  

On the flip side, login and making dining reservations has been flawless - shockingly good compared to the old app.
