Princess News & General Princess Chatter / Re: How passengers react to OceanMedallion technology

I have no problem with using the Medallion system and enjoy all of it's features, except the purchase of items at a vendor off the ship. To me it just invites a possible problem with billing and definitely paying extra to Princess to luxury of using the feature.

From what I've been seeing about the Icon of the Sea, Princess better get their act together very quickly. RCCL is outdoing the competition by leaps & bounds.
Not that I need the water slides or bumper cars but it sure does look appealing even to the older folks.

Q: If I drop my Medallion in a port, can someone else use it? Have you had issues with that?

A: If we have, it's so miniscule that I don't even know about it. ... Every merchant, if there's any issue, can do triple-factor authentication because they have the security photos associated with you participating in the service; you have the physical object, that's two-factor. When you go into port destinations, all guests are advised to carry a picture government ID, even if it's a U.S. location. And so that can be a triple authentication if the merchant wants to do so.

That might be true off the ship for lost medallions but they still haven't fixed the flaw for medallions lost on the ship. They can be used for entry into the cabin until you report it lost. Also the cabin location can be found by going to any of the display boards located around the ship.

It appears that they're making a considerable amount of money even if the ships don't stop there.
I guess they don't need the income.  ::)

Cruising Tips Chatter / Re: B2B on Princess
« on: January 27, 2024, 09:16:06 AM »
Yes, either on you own or going as a group. One way or the other they have to make everyone clear the ship to zero the count.
I always get off & return to my car in Florida (we always do B2B trips) to bring items we don't need on our second voyage, like laundry, gifts, purchases, etc.. My wife stays aboard & always gets off the ship with the group. It can be aggravating at times since there are always a few people who are late for the meeting the group to depart the ship. They don't think it's all that important & can show up when they feel like it.  >:(
I stay in the hotel coffee shop and wait till they're boarding or go shopping if we need something... sunscreen, wine, soda.
They provide an in-transit card but it only bypasses a few steps to get back on the ship ahead of everyone else.

That seems fair enough although a little disappointing I suppose.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this update.
I've come to use it on all of our future bookings. It makes planning soooo much easier.  :) :) :)

I still prefer Term 2 but since we drive to Ft Lauderdale it really doesn't make much difference either way.

With this latest increase we've decided that we can live without the internet.  ;)

I'm really surprised at the number of people buying this package.
They're some heavy drinkers sailing these days.  ::)

Yes, that 's what they told me while we were standing in line while waiting to board. It was their 2 nd leg in a B2B. Princess couldn't do anything for them as the ship was completely filled during the Christmas trip.
