My MAJOR concern is that there is a lot of information that is being asked to be downloaded through my phone and I don't feel secure doing that. I don't have any special security on my phone and no way to tell if the downloaded information will be safe to transmit. I get it; if security concerns bother you; then you can wait till you arrive at port; however, if you download the app to your smartphone there is nothing else to download. You use your phone to take a selphie of yourself and take a picture of your passport; that is all. Then it asks you if you want your medallion to be mailed to your home, or waiting on you when you arrive at the port. The only thing you download is the app; but i get it; you may still be concerned, if you are, then just wait; as you see in this video, Princess has a dedicated area for ocean medallion at your ships gate. One more thing, you will only be able to sign into the Ocean Ready app 60 days prior to sailing. Prior to 60 days you may get an error message. Hope this helps Edited January 25, 2019 by AF-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted January 25, 2019 #52 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Below is a screenshot of the Princess apps I have downloaded to my smartphone for next months trip. Each app does something different. I am looking forward to using the apps along with the new medallion.net super fast wifi onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickels Posted January 25, 2019 #54 Share Posted January 25, 2019 CAN WE MAKE THE ASSUMPTION THAT IF THE INFORMATLION IN YOUR OCEAN READY APP IS CORRECT, THEN WHAT'S ON THE MADALLION IS ALSO CORRECT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information! I will be ordering these tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF-1 Posted January 26, 2019 #57 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If you have any other medallion questions; I will try and answer to the best of my ability. Since only two ships are up and running; I feel that once they get maybe three or four more ships completed this year; the program will run very smooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to do is add your personal info including passport info, DOB, address, photo and a few other details into an app that will forever hold it in cyberspace! What could possibly go wrong? 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially the only information on the medallion is a unique ID code that matches to records maintained by Princess and loaded onto the ship's computers before sailing. The Ocean Ready app shows you your information in Princess' database. The same data will be loaded onto the ship. Barring any data transfer errors, you will have the same information on the ship. It's important to understand the distinction as to where your data is stored. If your personal information were on the medallion itself, stolen or lost medallions could eventually be hacked by nefarious people with bad intent. Not saying that Princess' database or the ship's database would never be hacked but their protections are much greater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dweidensaul Posted January 29, 2019 #62 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Sailing on Regal 10 February. Just got our Medallions. While this is "only" our 15th Princess cruise, the center of the Medallions appears black...ish (or a really dark blue?). We are still considered Platinum officially, but this looks like some incorrect assignment either way. Inserts are blue. We'll see what our supplemental card color is once at PE. Any bets? Side note, I completed the Ocean Ready process months ago and was told we'd need to pick ours up at the port. I subsequently saw others registering after me getting home shipments or similar notifications. I deleted the original order from the app and placed a new order soon thereafter. This new order processed for home delivery which took less than a week from Singapore to Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
