As long as my husband carries his Medallion, I should be able to locate him with my Phone, correct? He is a wanderer and this app would be perfect for us. Save me a lot of time when I need to find him! We are on Regal from Feb.23 to Match 8th.

Thank you all for your responses.   I found a list for Feb. 2 that shows the Regal at 2 and the Caribbean at 4, so I am going to assume they will berth the same on March 1st.  I don't know why I couldn't find that site before I asked on here, but I got it now.

Thanks!

The Caribbean and the Regal will both be sailing from Fort Lauderdale on March 1st.  How do I find out which terminal the Regal will be at?  We are on B2B on the Regal starting on Feb. 23 and I like to walk over to a store on the FLL day in the middle to restock my soft drinks.  I know the walk is not bad from Terminal 2, but have no idea if it would be even possible from another Terminal.

Hello everyone from the Crown Princess!  We boarded without ANY problems at all!  My sister can get off at each Island, no problem.  BTW, I love the Medallion!  It is so nice to have the door open without fumbling for the cruise card.  Haven't used much else yet, but that alone is very nice for me.  Check-in was a breeze as well.  Later!

Get a Passport....  All of this is ridiculous.... 

It's so easy for some people to be negative and dismissive, but what is the point? Does it make you feel superior in some way? The discussion so far had been helpful and informative so I am going to be equally dismissive of you as you were of me and my genuine concern.  Jeez!

Thanks everyone for all the comments, information and well wishes!  My sister rarely travels as she has a special needs adult child, hence no passport. I guarantee you though,  if she is ever able to travel with me again, I will insist she gets a passport so neither of us has to worry! 

I am done worrying about this now and all packed and ready to fly down tomorrow.

My sister called Princess and our TA again and both said she will be fine with just the birth certificate and DL.  Princess told her there is a problem with Medallion (shocking!) accepting driver's licenses and they are working on it. Princess told her we should still go to the Medallion line at the port, they will scan the license upon arrival.  I am hoping that this is all going to work out OK!!!

Yes,we are sailing in 2 days, flying down tomorrow. At least I am!  I told her to get a passport, and shd said she talked to Princess and didn't need one. But now this Medallion thing not accepting a driver's license is making me very nervous for her! 

Crown Princess on Oct. 28, 10 days , Caribbean, "closed loop", so should not need passport.

My sister does not have a passport and is trying to register for Medallion.  The only option for ID is a passport, not a drivers license.  Must she wait till she gets to port?  She claims she had mastered it last week with a drivers license, but now when she goes in it no longer has the green arrows and is asking for a passport for ID.

Thank you!

Sorry if you already answered this, but I scanned all 6 pages and didn't see any reference.  We are boarding on Oct. 28th and I am curious as to the evening show times in the Princess Theater and the traditional dining times.  I am thinking we may want to switch things up as far as dining.

Love reading your posts and thanks for doing this!

Thanks!

Just curious if someone who has been on a fully Medallion class ship can tell me how the lights/power work in the cabin now that they are not giving out cruise cards? You know, you used to have to put your cruise card in the slot just inside the door to get the lights on? How is it done now? We are on the Crown in a week and I'm just wondering.

Looks like a great cabin to me. I don't know whether you're pool people, but you're just steps from the adults only Terrace Pool.

 

And I'd call $99 each for 10 days a real steal of an upsell.

We are definitely pool people and I love being outside in the sun, so yes, it does look like a great location!

For the future...You can call Princess direct. Your TA just needs to give you the offer information (phone #, code).

Thanks, I'll remember that, but I'm not holding my breath for another upsell anytime soon. This was the first one I ever received after 44 cruises! I think we got it because my sister has only sailed once before?

did you get an email from Princess ? phone call ? how did you hear about the upsell ?

We got a call from our TA. Called her back and she contacted Princess.

Just got word that we got R739! Have no idea if that's a good Stateroom or not, but I am excited to get the balcony. I will have to do some research to see if I can find out any info on it.

Called TA, waiting for reply. Excited!!

Never got an upsell offer before. Sailing 10/28 for 10 days on Crown. Is the $99 a good deal.  Seems like it!

Thanks everyone!

Great news everyone!  I just got off the phone with my sister and Southwest.

My sister was able to get her daughter into the care facility a day earlier and then Southwest changed us to a flight on 10/27 at no extra cost to us.  (Sis will have to pay dearly for the extra day at facility, but she is glad for the peace of mind in not a chance we will miss the ship!)

So thanks again for all the responses and know that my sister and I are now much more relaxed!!!  (Now just have to book a hotel, but that is no biggie!)

Hey thanks everyone for the replies/suggestions!  Unfortunately, Southwest does not have any earlier flights out of Milwaukee that day.  I have been searching other airlines of course, but none are that much earlier.  I would love to go the day before, but my sister that I am traveling with, has a special needs daughter who is staying at a facility for the duration of the cruise and I don't know if she can get her in a day early.  She is working on it.  I contacted my TA and she says without any delays, I should be fine.  

I hope it all works out because my sister rally needs this break!

My airline just changed my flight to arrive in Fort Lauderdale an hour later at 1:50pm.  We are sailing on the Crown on 10/28, scheduled to depart at 4pm.  My understanding is that you have to be onboard 90 minutes before sailing, so this will be tight, if not impossible. Does anyone have any personal experience with this? I am really worried with Baggage claim, cab, etc that we will be late! My airline does not have any other flights that arrive earlier. ( And please no lectures about going a day early!)

I would recommend as soon as you embark go see if the Excursion counter is open and if it is book there so you can use your OBC.

OK. Thanks!
