  1. My guess, and it is only a guess, is that it is an all new developer. It just makes sense. The current daily fixes are not cost effective. The corrections are not free of charge once you do the acceptance test . Start fresh with a new well thought out control philosophy. Former CEO, no but I did stay at a Holiday Inn.
  2. Well , back to your original question. I personally would take the Princess transfer back to the airport. Nothing worse than having to worry about getting to your gate on time. And you never know about even the normal traffic jams. That is just me
  3. Have you tried watching the main parade between the Seawall and The Strand area.
  4. You are definitely a good source of information about Galveston. I will be there the Saturday night of the main parade. Any tips for watching the parade. We are not interested in paying and watching in the entertainment fenced area (those days are gone). I am hoping to just park somewhere and sit in lounge chairs along a residential street (25th) on the parade route from the seawall to Strand or something like that. Is that possible and any advice or experience. What do you think the restaurants will be like that weekend Yes the motel prices are up the weekend we are there. The Tremont hotel wants $705.00 per night and the San Luis resort wants $469.00. I could not private , so sorry if a may be getting off the original question.
  5. Thanks. I now have the last and latest phone update with no apparent problems. Now hopefully the new app will have very few hiccups and we will be able to use either-or Your instructions were easy to follow and right on.
  6. You will probably be leaving, when I am boarding. We are staying the night before and was hoping to tour Galveston but it looks like they block streets including the seawall. Going to have to play it by ear. The Mardi Gras web site says Galveston will have 350,000 people visit for the parades.
  7. Does this mean there is an update right now for the Medallion Class app? Do we have to uninstall and reinstall to get the update, or is it automatic update when you log in or go online?
  8. I also have a February cruise on the Regal. Remember the first two weekends are Mardi Gras in Galveston . I have no idea how that effects cruise port traffic. But I think even on Sundays there are some parades in the Strand area and roads closed. The Princess ride back to the airport might be a good idea if it is a Mardi Gras day, as the Ubers will be very busy. If anyone has cruised in Galveston during Mardi Gras, please chime in.
  9. Why do you strongly say to avoid the Lobster. Is it not a Maine lobster ? What is wrong with it? Thanks for your advice. I think it even is an up charge.
  10. Just trying to figure out whether to use the old or new app for my February cruise . This is the only thread about the new app. It is very early in the game. I hope I don't even need to post questions.
  11. Thanks for your insight. The populating of that data or lack of, is what worries me. My desktop would not let me reserve either. It is a long story.
  12. I have a mid February cruise. I just finally went green ocean ready. Things were confusing and I was not able to book/reserve my specialty dinning on the app, or book/reserve my excursion on the app. I had to call in three times and had the language communication problem that I seem to often get. But I did manage to make the reservations and they actually showed up on the current app. I like that I was able to get good times and dates for our specialty dinning, and we did not get shut out of our excursion of choice. I do not really want to go through that again. I am computer literate and have the newest phones out. But I am worried now that if I uninstall the current app, and install the new, that these reservations will disappear. I know they say your profile will be migrated over, but I think that could be one of the scenarios the programers miss. I know they say the old app is up and running until the end of February, but I definitely would like the newest app. Decisions, decisions.
  13. Go to a specialty dinning for your lobster. Every lobster I ever had in a ships main dinning room has been a warm water spinny lobster. I have had a Maine lobster at specialty dinning. Huge difference in my opinion. The best crab legs I ever had was in Ketchikan Alaska at the Alaskan Fish House. Not fancy but good.
  14. Here is my take as a retired blue collar factory worker. I have worked 56 hours work weeks for the past 40 years. I go on a cruise about once every two years. If I want to get a top shelf drink or have a top quality fillet mignon at a fine dinning restaurant while on vacation, I do not even want it to cross my mind if I can afford it or not. I am going to get it. I do not want to even worry or think about my final total cruise cost. I know doing the math after the fact, I probably don't come out on top, but darn it, I earned that gelato that we had to walk by during all those years of hard work. My answer is a big 401k withdrawal YES.
  15. Not sure if you can answer this question. When booking the cruise, we were told that we would get a complimentary additional specialty dinning on the first night of the cruise to go along with our two specialty dinning with the premier package. We were able to reserve nights for the two specialty dinning with the package using the app. But the complimentary first night is no where to be found on the app, or any document and when we try to reserve the restaurant and time we want on the app for the first night, it charges full price, so I do not finish purchase. I have searched, and some say they select the restaurant and time and inform you at your room some way. Do you or anyone else have any experience or tips about how the complimentary first night specialty dinning works.
  16. I hope the venue is big enough so many do not get shut out like my last cruise on Norwegian. The small venue fad had me standing in line for a half hour before the doors even opened just to get a seat.
  17. What has been everyone's experience with Express parking lot. It seems too good to be true. Do they over book there. It seems that it a very small parking area.
