I got off the Royal last week. I discovered that my medallion unlocked the room long before I got there. My husband's unlocked right as we walked to the door (his was in a pocket and mine was around my neck in a lanyard). If I held the medallion in my hand, it didn't read it as readily as if it was just hanging around my neck. I've also read that as the batteries drain, the doors don't open as quickly.

Thank you! I've been bouncing around searching from thread to thread and landed here. The summary was most helpful (buy before if you are not Elite or wait if you are). That is all I was looking for. 🙂

I have been holding off on prebooking the wifi for our Alaskan cruise on the Royal this Saturday. I am hoping that once on board I can get an elite discount that would make it cheaper than the $59.99 to prebook. Are you saying that is the case? Ours is a 7 day.

I couldn't find a template, so just took a photo from my cruise last year and had it printed as a wallet size. Then cut it out. I'm pretty happy with it.

If you will notice, it reads the information at the bottom (the part they scan in their computer) and not actually the photo, etc. When I did mine, it highlighted that information. They have your picture in their database and it pulls up with your information. The photo you are uploading is for their security when you get on and off the ship.

We will be on the Southbound sailing that starts on the 7th.

I just received my medallion for my Alaska cruise. I want to customize the little paper part. Princess lets you purchase some that say "birthday" or "anniversary." I have seen where others have customized with where they are going. Is there a template for me to be able to customize this? I've been Googling for a while and haven't found anything. I know I could take it out and trace it on paper, but a template would help me align things better.

There is no extra charge for the third. We had three in a room and only had to pay for two to upgrade.

On my Alaska cruise on Star leaving on 5/26 they offered an upsell last month of $249 pp for an oceanview to balcony. They STILL have balconies available and have not budged on the $249 pp. We leave in three days.
