Better late than never!

My friend is going to be so upset. She never wanted a smartphone. Ever. She just went out and bought one because she needed the Princess app. 

 

PS.   We know there were workarounds, but she wanted to do it herself.

I think this is sooooo funny! I'm glad to see them doing it, and I think the whole app deployment has been a disaster. But it soooo funny!

One of my suggestions on my survey after my cruise last month was make it possible for people to do things multiple ways. The example I used was the onboard spending statements. They were just available through the app (and I found it impossible to read on my phone) or through guest services. I used to be able to see them on the TV and on my computer.

I did the same thing, $1,300 later a new phone I didn't need or want!

I would use this instead of using my smart phone. Desk based stuff is just easier to complete. I'll save using my smart phone until we are on board.

It will probably work as well as the phone-based apps. Don't get your hopes up...

Wow.

So pretty much what we Had been doing.  And what I suggested in my survey.

Obviously its been in the works awhile.

Better late than never....😏

Absolutely…although it would have been even better if Princess had fully tested their MC app to discover problems & to provide the web-based option at the beginning.

Yes, but how long do you think it will take?  Judging by their work on Medallion Class, it won't be soon.  And if they try to "fix" the original, I can't imagine how badly they can mess it up before ending up with something inferior to what they started with.

Early on there was companion website which they disabled some time ago. They will probably be resurrecting it in some way. I too hope a website  becomes a reality. 

If it is available in November maybe then I will be able to add my mid January cruise which the app will not allow me to add.  It thinks it already there ... NOPE, IT'S NOT.  Ocean Navigator people have not been able to help.  Looks like I may have to go in the yellow line.  UGH!

[CalLuvsCrusingToo]

You won't be alone in the Yellow line........ 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

They essentially already had this. It was called the Personalizer!

I will believe it when I see an official release or on their website.

On the positive side  you can also use your phone to DL the At Home Testing App as well and any other Travel Apps.  This is the direction the world is moving in so you will be better off for the phone purchase in the long run.

And there was never any reason to take so much functionality out of the personalizer.

Unfortunately, you are right.  We prefer to pick up the phone and talk rather than text!

The whole Medallion thing is a prime example of what happens when you let the whiz kids sit at the big table.  I never could get the app to work on my old Moto phone, so I just showed up at the pier and checked in the old fashioned way.

Finally. Never should have eliminated the personlizer. App only was a business error. It's an error to force customers to purchase or have specific hardware just to take a vacation.

Hope this is true!!!!!!!!!
