skynight Posted September 8 #7 Share Posted September 8 Priority Disembarkation - While this is mentioned as a benefit, it really has no meaning. Everyone can choose their disembarkation time to meet their flight or other needs. Early walk off disembarkation is available to everyone. If you don't like what you have you can just visit passenger services. 50% off internet applies if you are purchasing internet. If you have one of the inclusive fares it doesn't apply. 10% discount at the shops does not apply to reduced priced items. 10% off excursions. When pre-booked on line full price is charged. The 10% is returned as OBC once on board. I believe the OBC is refundable, but not certain. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medallion net is internet access. If purchased the full cost is $24.99/day for one device. Platinum and Elite loyalty levels can purchase for half price, $12.50/day. There are also 4 device plans. Medallion net is included with the inclusive fares, thus no discount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any unused credit has been refunded to us by check in the mail a few weeks after the cruise (even though we paid for the excursions by credit card). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much nicer than the old usual, or at least they sounded that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What priority disembarkation means is that if you wait in the platinum lounge for your group to be called they get notification a few minutes before those waiting in the other assigned area. That allows them to get to the door before the rest of their color group. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excursions- clamshell rental, but take very few anymore. Laundry 2x in 7 days- better than the money I paid on HAL! Canapés gross. Might try Captsin lounge since I saw an impro in some recent pics. Really enjoyed tea in cabin- wish it was 2 pm. Don’t need much if you have a package. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
