Medallion net

[mrsihopes]

I preordered medallion net yesterday and did not pay for it yet.   Looked at my booking summary and it has it on there.   States the following.   Says it is pad by Dir BON VOYAGE.   Anyone know what that means.   Was going to call today to pay for it.

Funny you mention that. I got the same exact thing yesterday when I called Princess directly to add it. I do not have princess plus as my fair either. And I wanted to make sure it was taken care of before I went sailing on the Majestic on sunday. They told me as long as it's on your travel summary don't worry about it it's taken care of. Just bring your travel summary print out with you to the front desk to show him it's on there 

 

Just so you know I literally spoke to about six people in total yesterday in regards to it because I kept telling I wanted to make sure that it was indeed taken care of and I didn't have to worry about it and they all reinsured me I'd be fine.

Well that is nice, I will not worry about it.   I am sailing on the 8th.   Hope you have a wonderful cruise will be right there for the cruise after you disembark.   Thank you for calling them yesterday I will not call now as you were told it is ok.   Will print out my new travel summary.   Thank you.

Interesting if they are providing it free coming up for at least a short time.

Thank you so much! So if you have any problems just walk down to the guest services and show them your travel summary and they'll adjust and take care of it. Wishing you an awesome cruise on the 8th when the time comes as well!!! So excited to be getting back onboard

You have to call it in to order pre-cruise.  Eventually/someday/in-a-while, it will be coming to the MC App for pre-order.

Well, another mystery.  Who is Dir BON VOYAGE?  The only options I was given was to pay for it when I ordered it or pay for it in final payment.  I paid for it when I ordered it and it is showing "paid".  Do you have a fairy godmother who paid for yours?  Is this the elite rate?

 

Wow....will issues ever end?

 

 

 

[pms4104]

Wow ... free wifi!

 

If you call again to pre-pay bev pkg and/or crew incentive, maybe Dir BON VOYAGE also will cover that too.

I am Elite but was supposed to pay and get a 50% credit applied to my folio onboard.

 

[mrsihopes]

Maybe that's it maybe someone paid for it for me.

You have a one device package for your 7 day cruise at $9.99 per day (if you are Elite you will received 50% back in onboard credits) but mine has my name as the purchaser where your receipt says DIR.

Okay, I took the challenge.  Went to Chat on Princess.com.  Connected to an agent...of course had to connect to OCEAN Navigator.  "Bon Voyage" is an automatic response.  Means nothing.  Mine says PAX1 Bon Voyage paid.  

 

I did not go into he said, she said...this offer, that offer.  

 

Another wasted hour with Princess.  But heck, I'm retired and have nothing better to do with my time.

[geoherb]

I ordered for myself today. The way I take the info in the box is that I have paid for the package. I'll be getting 50% back as onboard credit. Mine, btw, says "Na BON VOYAGE!" The "paid" portion just means that you've paid for it already. The "cancel" button is there if you change your mind up to 72 hours before the cruise starts.

The pricing that we got on hours is the pre Cruise rate once you get on board you will be given a 50% off that rate so roughly about $35 will be placed as on board credit on to your account

I purchased mine as well today but paid $69.93 using a princess gift card.  On another note, I've never purchased the WIFI package before, does this include sending text messages to people that aren't on the ship?  IE. If we need to stay connected with loved ones at home (or work)  can we text as part of the WIFI package?  I believe phone calls are charged at whatever your wireless carrier charges but I'm not clear on what the WIFI packages includes.  Any insight would be appreciated so I don't rack up a huge phone bill!

No, you cannot send regular Text messages as they go via the cellular network.  Many, many, many people have WHATSAPP.  This is example of an app that runs over internet/wifi.  Not only can you text and send photos, but you can also have voice or video calls.

WhatsApp works well. Have everyone you want to communicate with download the app- including yourself. You can use anywhere you have WiFi.

Steelers36 is correct in that texts are sent via the cellular network.  However, if you have an Apple device such as a phone or an IPad you can text somebody who also has an Apple device using wifi.  I don't know if this is possible using other brands such as a Samsung phone to another Samsung phone or tablet.  I only know Apple.

 

As for phone calls - if your carrier and your phone allow you to make wi-fi calls you can do so without a charge as long as you are on wi-fi.  You can check in your phones settings to see if the phone allows you to make wi-fi calls.  Check with your carrier to see if they allow you to make wi-fi calls.  And as a final note - It is always a good idea to turn your cellular services off when on the ship.

As CTgirl said you can text apple to apple on wifi and you do NOT need the paid internet to do this. As long as you are connected to the ships intranet it will work. The “paid” medallionnet portion is only needed to access internet web sites, email servers etc.
