Rare bassmk Posted April 5 #1 Share Posted April 5 We got our Medallions today! Mine is Gold and my husband’s also should be but it’s Blue. Has this ever happened to anyone? Will they send a new one? I haven’t been able to get anyone from Princess on the phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no difference in actuality. Make sure your status is correct on your app/cruise personalizer and on your booking - and you're set You can get a correct color sticker once aboard, at GS or CC host. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axd Posted April 6 #3 Share Posted April 6 I tried to order our Medallions to be shipped to home address. The only choice is given to pickup at port. Is anyone know what the reason for not be able to get them via mail? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted April 6 #4 Share Posted April 6 Just ask for a new one once on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetosrevil Posted April 6 #5 Share Posted April 6 I had the same issue, but went to guest services once on board and they "printed" a replacement for me. No sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it appears you're in CA that would seem to be the issue. Is your cruise really soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who've purchased the Plus or Premier Cruise Packages (at $60/80) have shipping included. (Which is why you're reimbursed $10 if you buy the package aboard).

Torfamm Posted April 6 #12 Share Posted April 6 Have you checked to make sure his Captains Circle number is correct on the booking? If it is, it’s just a glitch and there’s no need to worry. He can ask them to put a sticker on it onboard but the color won’t make a difference in any situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted April 6 #13 Share Posted April 6 Nobody cares what color the medallion is unless you care as long as the computer knows the color. DON 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahlah57 Posted April 6 #14 Share Posted April 6 Is the color really such a big deal? Ours is ruby but it could be paisley for all I care! 🤔 Will it affect my cruise experience? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told on board that it probably was because I did not enter my credit card in the Shoreside section of the app, but the tech that answered was really not certain. The outcome wasn't any real problem. It took less than 5 minutes to pick up at the pier in Ft. Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in California, always have a package, and have not paid for Medallion shipping...ever. And what about that makes my answer incorrect? If you've always had a package, shipping is covered by the package. Prior to Feb 2023, shipping was free to everyone. When the package changes cane into effect in Feb 2923, medallion shipping is $10, unless you have the Plus or Premier Cruise Package (at 60/80 price, which was introduced Dec 14, 2022). Before those changes, medallion shipping was fee, regardless of package or not. So, what was incorrect in my statement? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the correct color can make the process smoother. It makes no difference, even then. Many many people order custom medallions - birthday or anniversary or flag or birthstone or whatever. Anywhere where entrance is based on CC status will have a handheld scanner to check. Someone with a customized medallion isn't going to be denied based on that. They'd be denied if they're CC level isn't correct for the event. As long as your account accurately reflects your current status, the color of your medallion makes no difference. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted April 6 #21 Share Posted April 6 Just off the Ruby a few weeks ago. No one ever checked loyalty level when entering the PES afternoon cocktail hour. It also was not very crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON We are Elite and I’d be happy to get a different colour for a change. I use mine as golf ball markers after so a collection of different colours would be nice. Collecting them at the embarkation port saves all the faffying around ordering then waiting for them arrive in the post too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally was able to talk to someone and YES! This was the issue! It was one number off and she fixed it online. She said the Medallion itself can be corrected on board. I know it doesn't matter, ultimately, what color the Medallion actually is, but I was worried there was some other issue and I'm glad I found out! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
