flahagan Posted October 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I've been reading about this Ocean Medallion on the newer ships, not sure how it works or if we'll even have it. I usually bring our own lanyards for other cruise lines, but now I'm thinking they won't work. I don't like carrying a purse around on ship and seldom have pockets, so I really like the lanyards. Will they sell something usable on the ship> Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted October 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2018 On some cruises they were giving away lanyards that has a pocket for the cruise card and a clip for the medallion. Don't know if these are still being given out or sold--sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a medallion believe you will receive a wrist band. From what I have read those cabins that use medallions are also issued cruise cards.

Rare shof515 Posted October 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I am also sailing on the Regal too. When the ship was in Europe for the Summer, all work on Ocean Medallion was postponed. Not all cabins have this right now and the features is very very limited. From what i read, it can open only the door if your cabin is wired. You will still have a regular cruise card that can you attach to a lanyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griller Posted October 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2018 We just got off Regal and did not have a Medallion. We were told at passenger Services there are printed circuits in the cruise cards and they should not have a hole punched in them or they will probably not work. They advised us to go and buy a lanyard and pouch in the gift shop. So we used a pouch on a Lanyard we already had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefightermediclasvegas Posted October 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2018 We used lanyards when we were on the Regal two years ago. They just have to be punched in the correct location. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geobec Posted October 6, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 6, 2018 We were on the Caribbean Princess got off 09-28-18 we had the Ocean Medallion throughout the ship. On Embarkation day we were given both the Ocean Medallion, cruise card and a lanyard for both. The ocean medallion worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo222 Posted October 6, 2018 #14 Share Posted October 6, 2018 We used lanyards when we were on the Regal two years ago. They just have to be punched in the correct location.s But, the cards have changed. They used to have a magnetic stripe for purchases / room key, and a bar code for A-Pass. Now, they are RFID. With the old cards, it was easy to see where not to punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
