And how 'bout those of us on a cruise-tour itinerary that starts on land the 31st of August but the cruise portion isn't until after September 6th... will a test still be required prior to arriving at the Princess Lodge?

You can put the "something" on the home screen yourself next time, if you'd like. Here's a screenshot to make it a bit easier to understand. Once you're onboard, access ship-name.princess.com to bring up Ocean Concierge. My screenshot is from the Grand Princess, but Grand can be replaced with whichever ship you're on fleetwide. After you've got that page open, use Share (icon should look something similar to the one in the bottom middle of my screenshot) to Add to Homescreen. This is the process for Apple iPhones and iPads, so maybe someone else could weigh in with how to do it on Android. HTH! p.s. I absolutely agree that it is a MUCH better version of Journeyview!!!

True dat. 🤭 In this case, though, it is different than other types of On Board Credit offered by Princess in that I am able to apply the OBC associated with the Shareholder's Benefit to pre-purchase Specialty Dining, for example. If the Shore Excursion OBC was posted to my account in the same way that the Shareholder's Benefit is and I used it to pre-purchase Specialty Dining only to have the shore excursion cancelled the day after my meal, I could see that this would cause no end of heartburn to rectify.

I can confirm that the 10% discount appeared as OBC only after we were onboard. Given the fact that two of our shore excursions were cancelled while on the cruise and 10% OBC credit for those tours then removed from our portfolio, I don't see that Princess will ever make that OBC available to use before boarding.

If not at the pier, then you might be given a keycard to get on board and then you’ll have to go to Guest Services to have new one(s) made. At least that’s the way it was done last December at Port Everglades. HTH
