The Medallion tells Princess and whoever you're with, where you're at on the ship 24/7. You use the Medallion to get in and out of your cabin. Supposedly when purchasing drinks on board, waiter knows who you are just by the Medallion. However, on the Royal, we were asked EVERY single time what our cabin # was. So, other than you being a GPS sponge, there's no reason to have the Medallion. Only good to keep track of you and nothing more.

Don't hold your breath that wifi will work like it should. Just got off the Royal, purchased the wifi package, had 2 devices only, and the wifi was sporadic. The second day, no internet, and everyday beyond that we were disconnected several times a day. Friends just got off the Island Princess. and they paid for internet but it was the same poor service. Princess reimbursed them for their wifi.

Friends just got back from an Island Princess Euorpean cruise. Because their cruise was more than 15 days, they had to take a PCR test in Copenhagen before boarding. They both are fully vaccinated, and they both got covid onboard. Apparently quite a few people had covid. Our friends didn't tell anyone due to quarantine in your cabin. Also, the mask requirements was set into operation. They were not happy.
