My understanding is that my name and photo will pop up on screens throughout the ship when I am in close proximity. I have also seen mention of names and pictures being shown to your fellow passengers when you are waiting for an elevator.
I have been on three medallion cruises and can say I have never seen this happen. You would have to your medallion next to the device to logon to the screen. If you are concerned about your photo, use an avatar instead. There are two photos stored, one is for identification as you enter or leave the ship and the other is for use around the ship.
These are my observations on the three medallion cruises I have taken.

The Medallions have the Embarkation date of your cruise on it only.
Thank You

Here's a quick question. I received my medallion for the Sky Princess which I am booked on for three back to back cruises.
My Medallion's show no end date, just the start date of cruise December 1 2019. Is this correct ?

I have searched and I cannot find an simple answer to my question regarding phone calls with an I-phone.
We sailed on the Regal this spring (April) and had no problems with wifi calling. That may not be the same now

Are the standard balconies on the Regal large enough Ultimate Balcony Dinning?
Thanks!

Yes, a bit tight but other than fine

Great looking balcony dinner. I believe this is one of the best deals Princess offers. Enjoy the rest of the cruise.

1) How far in advance of sail date was the offer made? We sailed in January 2019 and received the offer on November 1st 2018 and accepted it
2) asked to respond by call or email ? Email
3) where there plenty of cabins available , including other categories not included in the upsell? Plenty of cabins avail, didn't ask about other categories.
4) had there been recent price drops , or did Princess just go straight to the upsell. Just an upsell
5) direct or thru TA ? Direct
6) number of previous Princess cruises ? Eight total at that time

We mostly cruise Princess, but think they could do way better. The one Celebrity cruise we did on the Infinity had something called a "silent party" and they did it twice during an 8 night cruise. Everyone gets a headset which has light up ear pieces Red, Blue and Green.....each color is for a chanel the DJ is broadcasting and has different music .....county or hip hop etc. What you have is a bunch of people dancing or conga lines and it's silent.....so people walking by can't hear anything but everyone is dancing a different way based on what they are listing to . It was a hoot.......I wish Princess would do this......
Not really silent when those in headphones start singing out loud but sure entertaining 😂😂

The only problem I have ever encountered is running out before being on a ship again.......................

I managed to get a 15. It's nice. Very nice
I've had 15yo Pappy and have been told by some Wheeler 12yo is better if not equal to Pappy. Thank heavens November is almost here "Pappy Time".

It's really funny how fast FCC go. In may we bought three each and ran out before booking two other cruises. (memo to self by 5 each this time LOL). It is a great feeling to see those cruise "Upcoming Cruises" build up

I would too. I scored a bottle of Pappy about 4 years ago. Believe me, that bottle is stored in the safe
I got a bottle of Pappy 10yo last year but I'm looking for the 15yo this year. I usually drink "Wheller Reserve" because I can usually get it. (i wish it was the 12yo) I'll usually, while on board, drink Buffalo Trace, which really is not bad.
-
Pssst, they hide the "Pappy" in the lower bar so no one sees it. (LOL)
-
I'll Suggest Hotel Borgo Del Mar. A Bit outside of town but they provide the shuttle for you to the ship and they also have a reasonable priced shuttle from FCO. The food in their restaurant is fantastic and the rooms are great. Check them out on trip advisor as we have stayed there twice.

As a morning person, I agree that it is a nice quiet venue... up until the Zumba invasion at 8:00 (Regal April trans-Atlantic). Whoa baby it gets very loud and active. Before that, it is a nice quiet place to have a latte, download your mail, read a chapter or two, and enjoy the very nice breakfast club who are typically there each morning.
I so agree with you on the "Zumba" That was loud all the way from deck 7 down.

It probably will work as the Medallion Network is not an app. You logon through your browser on your phone. The Medallion App provides Ocean Ready, Ocean Now, and a Casino app. I worked the Medallion Network with my Fire with no problems

Each time I have ported in Santorini we make sure to take a "Ship Sponsored" tour. This guarantees you get off early and go to the top of the rim. This has worked three times for us

how many actual cruise days will you have to reach that level based on cruise credits ?
About 95 days and 12 cruises. A long way to 151 days.

Thanks folks, I thought so but wanted to make sure. Trying hard to make Elite

Perhaps someone can help me with this as I have searched and not found the answer.
Do you receive an additional cruise credit ( 2 for the cruise) for a three day cruise?

Comments Each night at approximately 2PM it sounded like a Flood was being diverted through pipes below us. It woke me up each night. It was loud. Choose another deck or cabin further forward
