Pooh The Medallion adds to the excitement of your upcoming cruise well for me it does. So why not have it shipped to your home and show it off to your family and friends?? Everyone is different- while you may think is not a big deal for you it may be for others especially 1st time cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, after so many cruises, and being "older", one less thing to remember as I am the one stuck with remembering everything, so that is the other side of the spectrum about it. Again, one can choose, I just don't want anyone to worry about not doing something and not getting it and it being a bad thing is all.

kb4683 Posted April 4, 2019 #28 Share Posted April 4, 2019 This morning (Thursday, 4/4/19) I received an email from OCEAN Notifications telling me our medallions were on the way. It included the tracking number for the package that was delivered last Wednesday (3/27/19)!!! 🙄😏😵 Our cruise departs on 4/14/19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted this only applies to people in the US. Not sure if that has changed. Others will pick it up at the port during check-in. I was informed that they should have Canada added "very soon". We shall see........... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolane1 Posted April 4, 2019 #34 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Interesting though, this is my 15th cruise. The sent me a black medallion with a blue case. My friend just came off a cruise, also her 15th, and they gave her a black medallion on the ship. No perks though. Strange....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true. I spoke to a Medallion rep who told me they are shipped out in batches according to sail date. Also, my shipment is coming fron Doral, Florida. I saw previous Medallions were shipped from Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they send it just before the cruise? I ordered mine 3/24 and haven't received it yet. you can go on the OCEAN READY app and go to orders and it will tell you if has been shipped. I am sailing May 18th so I hope it comes soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted April 13, 2019 #46 Share Posted April 13, 2019 According to them this morning, they are mailed out 2-3 weeks prior to sailing. Got a shipping date on the ones I was calling about today but it took her quite awhile to give me the exact date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recently sailed on the Caribbean Princess, but were traveling before our embarkation so we didn’t order our medallions before the cruise. It took less than five minutes for us to get them at the port. We decided that we’ll do it that way again for our future cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that is true ... but I'm not going to hold my breath. Ocean Medallions mailed to Canada would probably be stopped by customs. I was getting excited that boarding would be a breeze if you had the medallion mailed to you ahead of time - but now it looks like I'm going to have to line up to get the medallion before I can board.

I don't think so (customs stopping). I hope that was some kind of joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
