Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thanks everyone for your very quick replies. We've always felt that the quickest way to get an answer is to ask you kind folks here on Cruise Critic! We have to say that we're disappointed to learn that the Valentine's Day $2.00 deposit here in the USA seems to no longer be available. Now we're wondering if the "Love Boat" connection to Princess Cruises is a too long ago memory to market to the potential younger cruising audience? Debjo
  2. Greetings To All...and Happy Valentine's Day! It has been a few years since we've gone on a cruise. Previously, we've taken advantage of the REDUCED DEPOSIT that Princess Cruises always offered as a Valentine's Day promotion. We had always gotten an advance email telling us about the promotion. Today, I'm not finding any reference to it on the Princess website. Does anyone know what happened to that "LOVE"-ly promotion? Debjo
  3. Thanks "arizonaperson" for that explanation...glad the medallion does not have to be visible in order for it to be useful. I assume that one gets to keep the medallion after the cruise is over...therefore it will serve as a "souvenir" of sorts, just as the cruise cards did.
  4. Seeing an upclose photo of the "medallion" is helpful...nice that it has the ship name & sailing dates on it. One question though...is your name also written at the top? I'm not sure I want to be wearing a proverbial "name tag" around the ship.
  5. "ontheweb" previously asked: "...if I walk past our cabin, will the medallion unlock it even though neither of us is entering leaving us with an unlocked cabin door of which we are unaware?" This is something we wondered about too. Does anyone have experience with this? As the OP, we're finding everyone's comments to be of great value. Thanks to all for sharing the pros & cons about their experiences. We've still got a lot of time before our booked cruise, so perhaps all these "bugs" will be worked out by then. We still have no intentions of getting a smart phone or tablet...the less we have to lug around the better! 🙂
  6. Greetings to all, It has been a few years since we sailed on Princess, so we're not familiar with the Ocean Medallion program, apart from what we've read in the brochures. It seems that the program almost requires one to have a "smart" phone in order to use the Medallion features. Consequently, since we don't have a "smart" phone...how much will we actually benefit from this Medallion program...and how much will our next booked cruise & "Medallion" experience be hampered without having a "smart" phone? We're looking forward to reading everyone's pearls of wisdom on this relatively new feature that Princess has instituted. We haven't cruised since Covid began and look forward to sailing again. Until later... debjo
