Hopefully you'll get it to work. I had the worse time this time and kept going back and forth between the app and the web version. It was finally happy and we're green lane now. There are so many useful things on the app when on board so please call the tech support to help if you can't get it working. Try and call during California hours as you're more likely to get someone whose first language is English. Just FYI I left the cabin early one morning and left my medallion in the cabin. I went to guest services and she programmed a key card so I could get back in my cabin, so they do have them.

The Sky seems to be rotating homes for books and sudoku, etc. Last November there was a small book exchange at the end of the guest services desk for a couple of days then it disappeared. Last month I accidently ran into it in the future cruise area while dropping off an FCC and just looking around. There were 3 books in Dutch and a copy of Canadian Living.🤣 But that's where I found Sudoku.

I guess it's true until 2/20 then. I think they are shooting themselves in the foot and the lines to pick up medallions at the port will triple causing backups.

I think it only applies if you are buying accessories or special medallions with something other than your loyalty color. It's badly worded I think. Accessories on board are more expensive. For instance, the bracelet is $45 on the app and either $65 or $69 on the ship, so it's cheaper if you buy one and even more cheaper if you buy more because it's $10 no matter how many you buy.

If you order the free medallion and lanyard there is no cost for shipping. I just ordered ours for a March 4 and May 6 cruise and the order totalled zero. And I didn't buy Princess Plus or Premier.

I'm finding that even booking on the app before the cruise, specialty dining times before 8:30 are booked or not available at all on some days. Friends of ours booked onboard last month at Sabatinis and all they could get was 9:15 on the last day of the cruise. However, they got on a waiting list in case of a cancellation and got in at 7:30 that same day.

Might be tight. You're onboard time would be 3:30. If the slightest thing delays you, you'll be running to the ship or watching it sail away.

Bonaire is a National Marine Park and very rocky. It's doesn't have "beaches" like the other Caribbean islands. Look them up online and you'll find little strips of sand here and there and lots and lots of rock. The beach at Soboron is probably the largest but you have to walk between the roped off kelp beds to get out to the open water and there you stop or you'll be run over by windsurfers.

Depending on the current, snorkeling can be challenging. I would look on Trip Advisor for reviews on Bonaire excursions and find something that sounds good. Bonaire is mostly a National Marine Park and very rocky. They really don't have "beaches" like the Caribbean islands you mentioned. But the water is beautifully clear and the snorkeling is great. I read the description on this excursion and I wouldn't be happy with the "unguided" snorkel. Sounds like they are covering themselves and not worrying about you.

FYI to the OP - you will not be given your shareholder benefit on a discounted cruise. It's clearly stated on the corporate benefit page. I tested that statement by asking for it on a discounted cruise and got a letter instead saying we love you but sorry...

I'm on your cruise. I just received my GTY cabin assignment this morning, April 28th. No upsell offer in sight yet.
