Funny thing is, I still have the app on my Samsung phone, but cannot now find the app to download to our tablet. Nowhere to be found. Tried the links from Princess site as Thrak did and it's a no-go.
Princess sure needs to do a better job with this soon or they'll be dealing with a lot of unhappy cruisers.

I have Play Store on my Samsung in Canada. Where did you find MedallionClass App?
I originally had downloaded the app from Google Play.

Also have Samsung phone, which is not the newest. Funny thing is, when I downloaded the old version of the Medallion Class app over a year ago for a May, 2021 Alaskan cruise (cancelled, of course), everything worked fine. Now....it's a giant mess. I thought I read that we could start making dining reservations effective today for our cruise in Nov., but no way. Already have deleted and re-uploaded the Medallion Class app. twice.
Wish Princess would do a better job with their "technical updates"...
-
To the OP, I agree this has been frustrating trying to understand how to navigate Medallion app and not be able to access what I thought I could. I am not a tech whiz and easily get impatient. Was trying to get into the Dine Options numerous times and finally found out our cruise has to be paid in full before we can do this, which I wasn't aware of. However, I am still attempting to look on the bright side of this and glad we will be back to cruising in the next few months.
As awinte2 commented above, "technology can sometimes get in the way of the fun of planning..."

So sorry to learn of the passing of beloved actor, Gavin MacLeod, who played Captain Stubing and "Murray", as well as many other characters. Like so many of you, especially enjoyed watching him on The Love Boat and Mary Tyler Moore shows. Such a perfect ambassador for Princess Cruises.
He will certainly be missed. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I also wonder what Princess considers the threshold. Although our 1st cruise back on a Princess ship is 6 months away, I am not too keen on having to be tested prior to boarding, especially as DH and I are fully vaccinated. That could be a deal-breaker for us and others.
Nothing more to do for now but stay cautiously optimistic.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publishes travel advice, warnings and recommendations related to COVID-19, including for travel on cruise ships, which you should consult at CDC Cruise Ship Travel website before confirming a reservation.
If a threshold of COVID-19 is detected onboard, the voyage will be ended, the ship returned to the port of embarkation, and your subsequent travel or return home may be restricted or delayed.
Saw this when I logged in this morning. Geeez....I thought things were getting better, especially if you're vaccinated.

Yes, I understand that covid is spread by airborne transmission; however, I'd kind of hoped that buffets would be changed up a bit anyway after all this. You might not catch covid from the buffet, but sure can end up with something else, like norovirus, for one. I understand a lot of folks like eating at the buffets, we have several times as well, but I try to avoid the areas (like the salad bar) where people tend to touch a lot of items and are in close proximity to each other.
To each his own.
-
Good news for certain, but for me personally....not quite comfortable with the buffet area yet. Seeing how some people "grab" items and then return them to serving areas when they change their mind, I was always a little put off, now more so. If we were to be served items from crew members through the line, I'm ok with that.

That was the plan - to have single/common login credentials for both Princess.com and Medallion Class.
Think you're onto something...went through the same thing today as others have posted. Couldn't use my usual password for the website---tried many times---then changed my password to the same as I have on the Medallion app.....and VOILA! Guess that may have been Princess' MO all along....and here's the message that popped up on my screen when I successfully signed in with my "new password" on the Princess website:
Good News!
You can now use this account for both Princess.com and the MedallionClass™ app.
Guess that may have been Princess' MO all along...
Would've been nice for Princess to tell us this to save a lot of aggravation and time.

We have been experiencing summer-like weather here for this 2nd half of May - the 1st week was cool & rainy, so this is nice....even with higher humidity arriving. We'll take it, for sure.
Just reminiscing today about the cruises we've taken in this time of the year....just exactly 2 yrs. ago today we were in Havana, Cuba (NCL Sun). What a great memory--so glad we had this opportunity as who knows if/when cruises to Cuba will be possible for USA residents again.
Covid vax has been going well, but lately the numbers of those getting vaccinated has slowed down. Good new is that our state has reported only 2 towns are left in the high-risk "red" zone.
-
Wow...couldn't believe this, so I did a search to see which cruise line could possibly be offering a cruise to Bermuda in Feb/Mar. Actually did find a 5-day NYC to Bermuda itinerary on the NCL Getaway starting Feb. 5, 2023, with the NCL Pearl sailing from Boston to Bermuda starting in late March, 2023. Would not consider either of those, no matter how cheap the fare. Brrrrr......🥶

This new My Time dining feature seems too much like work. We like to be able to "relax" while on a cruise and not have to deal with worrying about so many details. In the past, we've always looked at the daily patter (or whatever the daily activity schedule is called on the particular cruiseline) and figured out basically what we wanted to do that day (or perhaps the following day) and go from there. That's why we prefer AD, not being tied to a specific dining time and can adjust, based on what activities we want to participate in that evening. Don't care about which specific dining room we're assigned to. If we want, we can change things up by reserving an evening meal in one of the specialty dining venues, or eat casually in the buffet or even the IC. It's vacation, after all.

When do you think they will be cancelled? I have one booked for Sept 2021 and am waiting to be notified.

Think you'd better check with Princess. The cruises showing on Princess' website with sailing dates from Aug. 28 to Oct. 30 are all marked "Currently Unavailable" (Caribbean Princess).
-
Another vote for the Western Carib.! And sailing out of NOLA (at least to us) is a lot more fun...
-
I feel the same as MishelleMcc and MamaFej. The crew members should be getting tips for delivering to passengers all around the ship day & night, as it seems this new service would add to their workload.

You could try one of these sites for info.:
https://www.cruisemapper.com/cabins/Norwegian-Gem-573
https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/Norwegian-Gem
Also, you tube could be a good source...you may be able get a visual idea of how a cabin is laid out.

They haven't even canceled my Alaska cruise for mid summer yet. I'm expecting them to do so any day now, though. They will have to get an exemption from the PVSA in order to make it happen. That seems unlikely ... if they will offer it, I will just do the shift to next year.
We had an Alaskan cruise for May cancelled months ago by Princess. Would think the summer ones would be cancelled fairly soon as well. We already moved ours up to 2022 and transferred $$ over.
-
Personally, I'd cancel this one before final payment date. Cruises to Canada not happening this year.

Have upcoming (hopefully) May, 2022 Inside Passage cruise -- also received email today that Shore Ex. available to book. Thought it strange as we have an earlier booking for Nov., 2021 (So. Carib.) and didn't receive similar email for that sailing yet.
-
Not looking like test cruises are happening any time soon, if at all. But...would like to be proven wrong.
-
For all those service members, a big thank you for your service.
DH isn't on CC very much, but his handle is oldcoastie. Served in the USCG (late 60's - early 70's).

Dine My Way - new MedallionClass enhancement
in Princess Cruises
Posted
Just an additional observation on Android phones. Even though we both have Samsung phones (& a tablet), my husband has a different version of the operating system on his phone and today logged in and had no problem accessing the dining ressies and also found the departure group for our upcoming Nov., 2021 cruise on the Enchanted. My phone still cannot access any of this and can't load the app onto our tablet. Not a big deal, but figured I'd share our discovery. Too bad Princess can't list the types of devices/operating systems necessary for the new version of the app. Guess I'm asking for too much.
If anyone is aware of this info., please enlighten us.
