I got the Sports band. $12 onboard. While the Fitbit would have been cheaper, the sports band looks nicer, and I can use it on future cruises. Kind of quirky to put on, but kids will figure it out. The loose strap has to be tucked under. The Medallion only fits in through the bottom, so it can't fall out the top. The Band is magnetized, so the Medallion only fits in one direction. The only issue is when Shore Security need to read the name on the medallion. I wore the band backwards to it was easier for other people to read when you hold it up. Otherwise, your name is upside down. I wore it snorkling, and no issues. Note: The Princess person told me to wear it tight when swimming so the Medallion does not fall out the bottom. That was too tight. I wore it with a slight gap on the bottom, but not large enough for the Medallion to fall out. In any case, it is held in by magnets, so it would not only have to be pushed down, but also the band raised up so it could fall out the bottom. Not likely.

If they can't give you a new medallion then, then ask at the Passenger Service Desk. They replace medallions all the time (lost, battery runs out, etc.).

Yes, your fish, turtle resides in your 'Play Ocean' app. Go to it on your phone or tablet and say hi to the little guy. Just checked in on mine and he is playing nicely with Jean's (DW) and Lindas (DD) tag-along. Can't wait to see him again aboard the Sky Princess.

CruiseVA Posted July 28, 2019 #760 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I had our photos all set on the Ocean Ready app awhile ago, last night I checked it and it switch my photo to that of my wife! Tried to fix it and couldn't. Got to port and sure enuf when it was scanned at the 1st checkpoint it was my wife! The guy looked at me (my wife just went thru ahead of me), I said, look at the name, the app messed up my photo, he let me thru. Went to the checking desk, & the fellow there took my pic, showed me and we went onboard, where it showed me as my wife again! *****, took another pic, seems to be fixed, but, I'm not holding my breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened to me as well. I will not try and explain how it happened but it seemed that a previous step I had completed for my wife and the next step continued under her name rather than go back to me - if that makes sense. Anyway I noticed it and was able to back track and fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the big deal about it. We are elite and our next cruise is on the Ruby. Just wanted to know if we are missing the significance of the black ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite status gets you free laundry, priority tender, priority boarding, mini bar and other benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our final payment for our Nov cruise is due Aug 6th and we made the payment a week early. All the features of Ocean Ready and Ocean Now apps were made available to us 20 minutes after we submitted our payment, approx 100 days prior to cruise. The final payment was the key.

There's nothing to do with the Ocean Ready app on board. There are many other apps that will only work when connected to the ship's wifi. You don't have to use them but there don't seem to be nearly as many issues as Ocean Ready. New System...the kinks will get worked out. FWIW when my wife had the same problem with her Ocean Ready we were about to just bail and deal with check-in at the pier but for the hell of it I tried making an account under my e-mail address (not the address the princess booking was through) and much to my surprise was able to link the booking without a problem and everything worked perfectly from there through disembark. Linking the booking, uploading docs, uploading photos, fast check-in, everything on board; literally zero hang-ups. You mileage may vary, but it is possible.

We received our medallions in the mail about 2 weeks prior to cruise. I did not purchase the coffee card so I can't be sure, but I would think it would be "attached" to your account which you just use medallion.

The package is attached to your on board account. The barista will know you have the package and how many espresso drinks remain. Just show your medallion.

newparks Posted August 1, 2019 #772 Share Posted August 1, 2019 On the Royal, we had to put a card in the slot just inside the cabin door. Its an energy saving feature on the new ships. A lot of hotels in Europe use this energy saving method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMGS247 Posted August 1, 2019 #774 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Princess Rules said: Hi, how does the Medallion work in the casino? Thank you Each machine has a reader on which you scan your medallion. Then you use the touch screen to enter password to add/access funds, etc. It's actually a little more secure compared to the cruise card for those of us that are prone to leaving our cruise cards in the machine when we walk away 😂 Edit: table games work the same way, you can add/access funds by scanning your medallion.
