Rare CineGraphic Posted July 23, 2019 #727 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Well....today, 4 days before our cruise, we finally received an email informing us that our Medallions are on the way. The only problem is. We received them a week ago. Such incompetence. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a long way yo to with issuing the Medallion & the Ocean Ready App for entering your info so that you can get a Medallion. There are a bunch of us on a cruise leaving Saturday that filled out the App months ago (we're in a CC Roll Call). I think almost all of us had the App indicate that we would pick up the Medallions after we had received them. Then we got the same email today, after having them delivered 6-8 days ago. 🙂 I just checked the App 🙂 Edited July 24, 2019 by CruiseVA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyShore Posted July 24, 2019 #731 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Do we have to wear the medallions? I prefer to wear a watch and nice bracelets, not the ugly wristbands. Can we just keep them in a purse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps your trouble is an EBKAC (Error Between Keyboard and Chair) problem Or is it a PICNIC? Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.

So essentially, the color handy if you want to flaunt your status - which will be harder to do if the color is a small band design on the Medallion. The perks are generated by your loyalty status, not the color of your cruise card or Medallion. The color is simply indicative of that status. I've known people who have flaunted their cruise card as if meaning to say they are special and deserve special treatment. All it really means is that you've spent a lot of money with Princess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, only mailing to the US. You can complete the "ocean ready" app tho as part of the pre-cruise excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally 30 to 40 days prior to your cruise date. They must first load the cruises onto the ocean ready app. Sometimes sooner than that date. You are supposed to receive an email, others are also saying that they see a notice in their personal laser that completion of the ocean ready can be done.

Sam.Seattle Posted July 25, 2019 #739 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Some good news.... We were all set for our Sailing on August 3 to 17. B2B Royal Princess. DD was on the Aug 3 to 10 sailing. She was offered a Move Over opportunity that she took. She is now on the Aug 10 to 17 sailing. We already received our medallions and the app was uploaded and working. The good news... The app updated perfectly! The new sailing is showing just like magic. Good Job Princess IT team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INeedAMaiTai Posted July 25, 2019 #744 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Anyone know how secure the wristbands are? I'm planning for a future cruise and wondering if my 14, 12, and 8 year olds would benefit from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare donswife Posted July 26, 2019 #745 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Does anyone know if the fish I made on my prior Medallion cruise (CB last October) that followed me around will come back on my next medallion cruise, or do I have to make a new one?

I'm planning for a future cruise and wondering if my 14, 12, and 8 year olds would benefit from this. Didn't use one but saw them up close they look very secure. People who saved a few bucks and fit them into fitbit bands - not so much. Thinking back to when I was an active 12 or 14 year old I probably could have conceivably found a way to break a medallion loose from the band, but it would be no small task....the wristband would be fort knox compared to the default lanyard where a lost medallion would be all but guaranteed. Just speaking for my own 14 year old self...yours may have their heads on straighter 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice a degradation in how sensitive the "keyless entry" feature was at the cabin door as the week wore on, so I do wonder if it had some sort of effect. It still worked when held to any scanner, including the cabin door but it seemed in the last couple days the cabin sensor was either picking up my wife's or I had to hold it all the way up to the sensor, whereas in the beginning it picked it up from my lanyard around my neck without having to do anything. First world problems, and may have had nothing to do with the water...definitely a small sample size, but noteworthy.
