Review summary

Awesome Cruise, I give it a 10 as this was our first startup after Covid hit. Ship, crew, food were great. We had issues with the Medallion App, but got by. After we got home the app worked flawlessly. The Medallion itself is great and worked good on board the ship. This saved lots of time getting on and off the ship, and on board. Our Princess Cruise Planner Mike McKee is an asset to Princess and save us a lot of trouble.

Waiting to board group 1, no additional covid test. We hope our luggage makes it on board. They did ask if we completed the Hawaii, Safe Travel. Lots of fun waiting.

For JJCruiser - Sorry if I did not respond. They have fixed dining, we had the same table every-night and wait staff (they were excellent). Look for Samuel and Jorge, say from Guy and Yanjuan. Information from Medallion was delete and reload. She said especially do it immediately before the cruise. All you're information will be re loaded from their server. The ship Medallion Team is on staff and busy. F

I'm having issues with the app as well could you give advice? Fix it while we're onland? Or Work with the team on the ship? Does princess still have traditional dining times early and late?

App running good now. I guess it's a work in progress. The retro fit older boats, still have some issues per my planner.
