wallyj Posted July 14 #51 Share Posted July 14 @PATRLR, so you are saying NO messages are displayed now when the game is ‘active’? Only when the Casino is open is when you should be receiving messaging regarding Princess Prizes. I do not understand why they discontinued showing message ‘Game Closed Try Again Later’. Please check when the Casino is open and touching your Medallion on the door panel to unlock, do you get message, Better Luck Next Time, or Try Again Later. These were being displayed while I was on Enchanted last month, disembarked on June 29. As I noted previously, was told ‘sometimes’ for safety/security no message will display.

Exactly, no message all day today nor last night. We're at Sea since yesterday afternoon. The fact that there is no message at all is precisely why I was bugging the chat folks. I was convinced that I wasn't registered for Prizes. They told me I was and only after mutiple proddings fessed up with the statement I posted above.

Rare tulok Posted July 14 #53 Share Posted July 14 The door panel on Emerald also showed my BIL that he won. This was June 15th. It didn’t state what he won, and stated Congratulations for a few seconds with fireworks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyj Posted July 14 #54 Share Posted July 14 @PATRLR, sounds like a very recent change since as of last month, messages of Better Luck Next Time and Try Again Later were being displayed. I was also concerned when sometimes I was getting no messages, and shared my concern that how do I know I am getting Prizes ‘credit’ or ‘entry’ when I activate door panel by touching medallion or initial approach to cabin to unlock. Does not give a high level of transparency or confidence game is operating as should be. I will be on Emerald next month, so will look to see if this ‘change’ of displaying messages is still in effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarneyCat Posted August 9 #55 Share Posted August 9 We’re currently on Caribbean Princess and have won two prizes so far. The first was a chefs table dinner with wine pairing - I thought I’d seen on the door panel something about a table for two, but the next day we received a call to the room to book us in. The second time we won $25 obc which we only saw when we looked at our folio on the app. That will help pay for the soft toy Stanley bear we’ve been made to buy! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The APP has a link that will ‘list’ any prizes you have won also your stateroom TV has a link that will display any prizes AND the date and time stamp of the award.

beshears Posted August 9 #57 Share Posted August 9 All I can say there were 8 of us (not gambling), just going in/out of our rooms, and none of us won anything. It is just a CHANCE a person takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no question that I was asking about not seeing any form of acknowledgement of the Prizes play when I went through the door. Also, previous replies in that chat did tell me to check the App at the end of the day to see if I won anything. I'm not in a position right now to grab those screen shots and they might have some personal info if I did. Plus, my experience is that nothing at all is displayed when I enter the room. (except the "P" in the upper right corner). My last experience with Princess prizes was in June on the Enchanted, the P is still being displayed in the upper right corner of your door panel and you got messages of Better luck Next Time or Try again later when you have Maxed your entries for the 24hr rolling time period. I also saw flashes of the prize you won. Now I am on Emerald Princess for 8/11-28 sailing. We were delayed leaving BOS because of refueling issues and stayed in BOS an extra day to get this completed. Since we were in port, the Casino did not open till after 6pm on day2. My door panel was not displaying the P, I went to GS to enquire. Was told once Casino opens, enrollment to Prizes should be automatic. When I came back from dinner I saw the P in the upper right corner of the door panel. So I tapped my Medallion to see if any Prizes messages would appear. I believe my first 5 tries, no messages. Finally, I did receive a Better Luck Next Time message, so on the Emerald, Prizes messages are still displayed, although a lot LESS frequently. I guess it is possible the Sky has tweaked the game, but at least I know, Prizes messages will still occasionally show here on the Emerald. Before going to bed, I did a couple of entries and saw a Congratulations message I won a bouquet of Flowers. I checked the APP and TV and the Prize was displayed. When you have a Prize, when you check your stateroom TV, it will not only show the Prize, but also the date and time your Prize was awarded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make me wonder if it actually only worked one time out of the 6. I suppose one will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also an hourly max, as once you have reached, you would get the ‘try again later’ message. None of this is explained, as I had to ask. Now it seems very inconsistent, so you could reach the max and not know it, since the try again later message did not display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won $25 OBC total among the 4 of us with Premier package (2 cabins) on a week long cruise. I found out when I was checking my husband's folio as I did every day.

Currently on Emerald, do not get the messages consistently, but only sporadically now, whereas before, would almost always get 1 of 3messages, Better luck next time, or try again later or Congrats you won a specific Prize. Now mostly no messages and door panel returns to home/welcome state. The APP will show any Prizes won, but your TV will also show the date and time the Prize was won. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
