It seems to rely on the magnet of the medallion to stay on which isn't all that strong.

You are correct and not correct. They do rely on the magnets, but there are there are4 in the medallion. The metal used in the holder is made to adhere the those magnets. We both shook it and it never came out. It does work well. I understand even the Princess one for like $45.00 does the same.

They range from $9.95 to $19.95  Looks like about 6 or 7 different ones. Do not know the company name. Just Google Princess Medallion Holder. There are several pictures of a woman with them on her. Just click on any one. They all are Free shipping and come with a sterling necklace. They have a pin on one also.

Has anyone been able to.link a booking for the Enchanted in the Medallion class app?.Have a cruise booked for end of Feb 2021 and can't link.Maybe because it hasn't officially sailed?? I may be a tad anxious to sail!!

[trbarton]

I have a cancelled November cruise that still listed in the Medallion app. I also have a cruise that’s not listed but when I add my booking number it says that it’s already loaded. 
 

Anyone had any of these problems & if so what did you do?

 

Thanks!

I’m trying to add a booking for February 2022 but when I add my booking number it says that my booking doesn’t exist. Am I too early?

I read on another topic of someone having Medallion and Ocean Ready problems.  They called Princess and were told to log out, and then log back in.  It worked.  I hope this helps.  Let us know.

If I sign on with my Hawaii December 2021 cruise no problem. Now I try to sign on with my February 2022 New Zealand cruise using my conformation number I get a message “Your information does not match our records”. I’ll see what Princess says & let everyone know.

I have the Medallion app loaded & it still shows my cancelled cruise next month. Anyone experienced this?

 

I’ve heard with the Medallion App you can select the time you want to board. How does this work & since I have several cruises booked how can I change from one cruise to another on the app?

I don’t think it’s true. Because everyone will select early as possible.

What about my cancelled cruise still showing on the app?

 

On one of the YouTube travel channels they talked about picking the time you wanted to check in. 
 

Anyone that has used the Medallion could you board anytime you wanted or were you locked into a specific time to board?

I would think if passengers can select their preferred timeslots, then once the early ones are filled, only others will be available - and so forth.  Likely the final slot of the day will be the last one open.

 

My concern about arbitrary times being enforced (for an example, refer to the Princess suggested check-in times we all receive and has been frequently posted in this forum to ignore if so choose), is that those who are arbitrarily selected for the earliest check-ins are going to be the only ones to be able to get Sanctuary and special dinner reservations.  One would hope Elites and such can check-in anytime or have first crack at the timeslots.  I also imagine those who book Suites will want special accommodation.  It remains to be seen how this will really work in reality.

 

Some terminals have more capacity than others.  And it depends on size of ship being loaded.  It may not be too bad at first since no way is any ship sailing fully loaded for the immediate future.

Just downloaded the app and was able to link my September 2021 booking fine but it shows my captains circle level as blue when I’m actually gold. The website has it right but the app doesn’t. Is there a way to change this so it is correct? Is this a common problem?  Thanks.

The same thing happened to me.  It showed my level as blue and I’m black. So I call Princess and they changed it. No big deal.

Laura,

 

Do you know why when I click on “Follow Topic” I never get any messages when someone makes a post. I’m aware that other people have had the same problem. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

So, we have been watching the videos about OM.  The feature we find most intriguing is the ability to order stuff anywhere in the ship.  A few questions:

• Does it really mean anywhere?  If we are sitting in a chair on the Promenade?
• Can we order any kind of drink?  Coffee, expresso, margarita?
• Can we order food from the room service menu or is there a separate menu?
• Do we tip the runner/wait person who brings it?
• Have there been any problems or glitches using this service?

[AF-1]

Barry ATL;   yes technically you can order something from anywhere on the ship.  If you order a drink it already has the tip built into the price.  I have used the medallion to order drinks by the pool and drinks from a bar.  Both times it worked very well.  The waiter or waitress has a picture of you on their ipad and that is how they find you with your order.  If you are sitting on the promenade the app will try and locate the nearest bar to where you are sitting.  I used it once to order room service and it worked fine.  I actually ordered breakfast the night before and it was delivered on time to our cabin

As AF-1 says, the tip is already included in the price. Each alcoholic drink you order has an 18% gratuity automagically added to the price.

[Barry ATL]

• @Ken-ATLand I love to find out of the way, quiet areas of a ship and camp for an hour or two.  Being able to order a drink or a snack is a huge benefit.  Will the drink package work with delivery???  One way or the other, we will always cash tip the wait person because that is how we roll.

[AF-1]

Barry ATL;  to answer your question about the drink package and delivery;  the answer is yes.  

[shel003]

I have downloaded the medallion app for my cruise on the island in September but every time I try to fill out the information to be ocean ready it says there was an error. Do I have to wait for a certain time period before my cruise before I can fill this out? My cruise personalizer says this will be a medallion class cruise but I also know that the island princess isn’t completely medallion class ready yet. Could this be why I can’t get ocean ready in the app yet?

[AF-1]

shel003;  the medallion app can get buggy.  I have filled out everything in the app and it worked;  another time I filled it out and it didn't.  My current estimate is 60-90 days prior.  Some people will say you can't fill in the app until after final pmt.  However, others say they have filled it out and it worked prior to final pmt.  So my current answer to you;  wait until this summer; like May-Jun and try again.
