It’s a Joke
This app is a joke. I thought the first Ocean Ready / Medallion app was bad but by the last cruise I used it on it was actually working. But then came version two. We booked a cruise in July and were able to enter all our data and became green lane ready. Then about a month and a half later I went in to check what time our dining reservation was and found ALL of my information gone. And I mean all. The only thing there was the cruise reservation. However, everything was just fine on my wife’s app. Called Princes and started the process of re-entering the information. Some data it would not let me enter, but we managed to eventually get it entered. I could not link to out dining companions on our dining reservation (though my wife could) and could not enter a payment method (credit card) though it clearly was present on my wife’s app. They even charged $10 for medallion shipping to the card. My wife was able to get us back with our dining group. For the last three weeks I have been trying to get my charge card entered with no success. Six calls to Princess, who referred it to the “back office” (Ocean Ready) has not resolved a thing. Two weeks out and I am still blue lane while my wife is green lane.
The app is more advertising for onboard upgrades and services than help for getting required information entered. The whole process is just a joke, starting with the app.Poor at best navigation.
Princess truly does cater to the senior population and one thing that is for certain. 95% of us can’t find our way around a computer unless we have a grandchild with us. We are ona cruise to hide from them for a couple weeks. The app is not getting better it’s getting worse. it only shows in half page, one can’t find anything on the site as navigation is poor at best. I would suggest that you scrap it and build another from the ground up. The company keeps trying to fix this format and it is like trying to get a horse with a broken leg up to run. Seriously, I just added my airfare on to our next European cruise and I put it on the account a week or so ago. I can’t even find where to go pay on it and I have been looking for over half an hour. I would at least thing you would make it easy to spend the money. When I came onto the site to buy my air through your service, it took two separate visits and a stroke of luck to figure out where to go to do that.
It is seriously flawed and I love cruising with you. You have taken great care of us on the trips we have taken but, your app is definitely an issueWorse then the previous app
I’ve read the previous reviews so I’m not going to repeat all. My wife and I have traveled on Princess before and after the introduction of the app. I see benefits to the app but the negatives out way the positives. When you order the medallion we experienced the same as many others. The app confirms you did then comes back and says you didn’t. When we called in to princess 10 days prior to cruise they confirmed we did and would ship immediately. That they did do, just in time. When we looked at what time we were to board ship we never got a time. When we got to port to board ship a line was starting to form. By the time we boarded you couldn’t see the end of the line. Reason, nobody that we talked to knew when they were suppose to board. The app is not intuitive or user friendly as many have already commented on. On this past cruise I tried ordering drinks a number of times and finally got tired of waiting and got it my self. The list goes on and on.
