They got rid of all "OCI renewals" and now you basically just update your new passport info online when you get a new passport, except for one exception:

* OCI Cardholders updating their passport particulars after obtaining a new passport on or after attaining the age of 20 years are required to mandatorily update their biometric details at the concerned Indian Mission/FRRO office or at an International Airport during the next international travel.

Has anyone does this? I don't know what it means - what biometrics and which airports?

I saw some posts that implied e-OCI ALSO means digital application when applying for a new OCI. Is that true? I'm in the US applying for my daughters OCI - she is a US born US Citizen. Do I still have to print a physical photo/deal with mailing things to VFS or did they truly digitize the application as well?

I want to select "We choose your Ocean View Balcony" - all I want is any balcony room but it must face the ocean. A lot of forums have people referecing "GTY" or "guarantee" room but I don't see that word anywhere in this option. Am I guaranteed an ocean view balcony if I select this?

The employee I talked to who is fairly well connected keeps bringing up that they passed all their financial audits but I'm not sure an audit would have addressed these concerns to begin with. I wonder if the stock will tank more after the IPO lockup July 21?

For the first time I'm seeing an item with a taxable value slightly above $100, $104.99 to be specific in my RFY page. I thought there was a $100 limit for silver members?

One nice benefit of the tax deduction used to be you could compare different state's 529 plans and pick the best one and still get the Missouri state tax credit, but as of Jan 1 2026 per SB1140 this is no longer the case.

There was another post last week saying the same thing on Royal. Perhaps Apple updated iOS to mandate wifi flow through to iMessage or more likely Princess’ notorious IT team (one guy in a basement in Hyderabad I assume) dropped the ball on blocking it after an iOS update? I could even send pics and videos on imessage.

Customer service said as long as I have medallions in hand I can go to the green lane. Just wanted to confirm that no one at check in needs to see anything in the app that proves green lane?

It’s too late to fill the missing stuff out (of course it’s not really missing don’t know what happened) too close to embarkation. Princess has the worst customer facing IT systems I’ve experienced.

Shein is doing the opposite of "buy more save more". The price of your items goes UP in your cart the more items you add because they auto-apply a fixed dollar coupon instead of a % off coupon. They are incentiving us to order a couple things at a time rather than 10-15. This is the opposite of a what a retailer should do. So the best way to get value is to wait for a free shipping no minimum day and get like 1 thing so the full coupon value gets applied to it.

This is so profoundly infuriating (not to mention that casino-atmosphere of the app these days). I think they hate us.

Is there a way to get a bulk order discount anymore?
