Ask after you board. If you've never done one, they're well worth the cost. IIRC ~$150pp when we did it. The swag we got was worth the cost. Be sure to pack close-toe shoes, can't do the tour without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told they weren't currently being offered due to COVID protocols. She couldn't say when she thought they might resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably be back at the same time that cockpit tours in airplanes start and for the same reason. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Voyage Lunch/tour - gone 2. Ship's tour for $150 - gone 3. Self-guided tours - free 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the ship's tour once. Very informative and we hope they'll bring it back. 3. Self-guided is definitely free, but you can't get into the areas that were included in the official ship's tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WatchHill Posted September 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Princess will probably add it to the Medallion App, sort of like using Waze, but with an added charge that you can book through Shorex. Darcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darcy Having a free tour included in the Medallion app might not be to bad for the newbies on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fuzzy memory recalls when Princess first introduced technology to pair with our iphones. Passengers were encouraged to download something associated with their booking and cabin; doing so, you could go to any bar and show this feature that entitled you to a free drink. DH, wanting to sever ties with his moblie phone, left it at home - I got my free drink and he had to pay for his. Now we have the beverage package, so something similar wouldn''t work. Maybe a small OBC for first time users? Darcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in the old Ocean Medallion app. Since the new MC App, we have to kiss goodbye to a free drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
