CruisingIsBest Posted November 22, 2017 #376 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I also turn my phone off when on a ship.I may use it in port but not on the ship at all! I don't really want to use all those features of the medallion except the ones we do now with our room key card. I suppose I do not belong in the modern world at all! The info about the medallion says we can turn off the other features and just set it on "emergency" and that's probably what I'll do. That is certainly an option indeed! Although I use the phone for all the other things so I'll have it, especially for those quick photo ops! But I think the phone will give you the freedom to turn on (or off) what you want/don't want... and totally off by turning off the wireless. Just never know with that Medallion since there's no "switch" on the thing! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trbarton Posted November 22, 2017 #377 Share Posted November 22, 2017 just found this on amazon...anyone with a medallion...could you tell me if you think this would work holding the medallion....:confused: https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Medallion-Holder-Keychain-Silicone/dp/B01N5KS9S4/ref=pd_sbs_229_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=NPG6JQ93CPR5S5AD4AA9 Perhaps someone will order this & report back to people on Cruise Critic.

Rare Hlitner Posted November 22, 2017 #378 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Just a thought, and perhaps something for a cruiser to test. When we carry our car FOB in the same pocket as our iPhone, it interferes with some functions of the FOB including the ability to unlock our car doors. So I am wondering if carrying the ***** next to an iPhone (or an Android phone) causes a problem with any functions...such as opening the cabin door.

pedirn Posted November 22, 2017 #380 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Can someone tell me the purpose of creating a Tag-a-long? I have seen nothing that indicates any useful purpose or need. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted November 22, 2017 #381 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Without reading the whole thread, has anyone posted the various ways they have ACTUALLY USED the medallion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted November 22, 2017 #382 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I hope Princess will have a few crew members to help passengers that only cruise every few years. I have a July Sapphire cruise booked not a ***** cruise and don't plan another until 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smm0218 Posted November 22, 2017 #383 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Has anyone been able to get Ocean Compass to link to a current reservation? https://ocean-compass-web.prod.ocean.com/no-journey It will not allow me to enter my birthday in the profile info although it does in the link a reservation page. Our cruise is in June so I'm not a rush, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzrbachoua Posted November 22, 2017 #386 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks. I won't spend any more time on it.. Sandi On another thread someone posted about name used vs legal name used to book the cruise...I checked princess has my middle name but no where on the ocean site does it ask for middle name...tried adding it to first name...still nope. Our cruise is in August and so far am not impressed. But then again we weren't planning on using the majority of the new things..we don't drink or gamble so basically it is just a new way to open our door, purchase items and board the ship. I would like to hear from those that have it how they reboarded the ship in port as usually I have had the port security want to see sail card and id...would they even know what the medallion is?

cibaygirls Posted November 22, 2017 #387 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I am wondering if they are initially giving passengers one of the bracelets with the medallion? I am scheduled to sail on the Regal in February and am just curious. If you get/have that info thanks.

jjr718 Posted November 22, 2017 #392 Share Posted November 22, 2017 We are on the 11-26 sailing and we just received out Medallions today at 1 PM eastern. I was able to set up my wife's ocean compass account without a problem. I created her account as new from scratch. Princess entered my information into my ocean compass as I was having a problem getting into the web site. Now I get a message that the name does not match the reservation. Princess IT is supposedly working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiqittaq Posted November 22, 2017 #393 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I will be sailing on the Regal in March 2018. According to my Cruise Personalizer: CAPTAIN'S CIRCLE PLATINUM & ELITE UNLIMITED BENEFIT During our Ocean Medallion Preview Cruises, we're pleased to provide Platinum and Elite guests with unlimited MedallionNet WiFi for one device per member I am an Elite member so I will have “unlimited wifi for one device”. I use both the iPhone and iPad on board. Does this unlimited wifi restrict to either the iPhone or the iPad ? Or does it mean “ one device at a time” and I can switch between 2 devices. If not, do I have to purchase internet minutes for my second device. Hope someone on board now have the answer. Thank you Currently, when I sail Princess, I have free 250 internet minutes and I can switch between 2 devices ( log out from one device and log in the second device) Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you log in to ‘Medallion-net, it identifies whether or not that device is connected. You then select the button to connect. I could switch back and forth. If one was connected, it would identify that and offer to upgrade to have multiple devices connected. I would just logout of whichever device I didn’t want to use. It was very easy to use and I found it very fast. Little difference from my service at home. It was down for a few hours one evening, but with all the techs onboard, I just assumed they were working on it. There was a router(?) behind the TV. No more sitting by my open cabin door! Yeah!
