You only got upset because you thought that comment - which you reported and had removed - was about you. Most of us here recognized it as a general comment about people who live in a perpetual state of anxiety over being watched by "Big Brother". That you instantly believed that it was directed at you says much more about you than about the poster or anyone else here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the medallion only to unlock my cabin door. I keep it in an RFID credit card sleeve because I hate the idea of being tracked every minute. The credit card sleeves do indeed block the signal and costs less then 25 cents. Um, no you can't get a regular cruise card. I tried this July, but was informed at the desk that they no longer do that. (Wanted one to continue my collection.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one needs to know that, so no one is going to track that sort of information. Out of interest, does your car have GPS (sat nav)? Do you disable it every time you drive ?

I always find it disturbing how some people on these discussions, as this one has demonstrated so effectively, feel that their opinions are so important that they must be dispensed while at the same time criticizing the opinions of others that they don't agree with to the point that they report those opinions to have them removed.

If you have a pacemaker it's advised you don't use the medallion because of the magnet. Didn't they offer you the cruise card if you gave them the medallion, you can't keep both.

John99 Posted December 15, 2022 #68 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Currently “Green Lane” for both DW and myself. I tried to access Medallion Net to purchase wifi to obtain the discount (Elite). No Luck. Also, I tried several early this times week. Not successful. Has anyone else been able to purchase wifi recently? Also, I cannot order our medallions. Any ideas what happening?

I've always felt that this option was basically useless since there is NO notification of any type that you have received a message...unless this has changed within the past month.

It's very frustrating that they didn't include a notification so we switched to WhatsApp last cruise. It works great for texting and phone calls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO notification? The message icon shows an incoming. There is no ring or chime, which might be a good thing for our fellow passengers. I would prefer something on the Home Screen (or whatever it is called) instead of having to open the app to see a message notice. But I wouldn't categorize it as useless. Your mileage obviously varies from mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
