mobiandy Posted January 7, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Quick and easy question. Have there been any modifications made on Sun Princess for the introduction of the Medallions? The reason I ask is that on a cruise on Ruby in November they had upgraded the cabin door locks as part of the introduction and as such I was told it wasn't possible to punch a hole in the cruise card to attach it to a lanyard.

patch nine Posted January 7, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Don't know about the Sun, but I was on the Sea Princess (sister ship) in November and I just checked my cruise card and see there is a hole punched in it. I never use a lanyard but my cruise cards have always come with the hole already punched, including last November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the Sun Princess in October and no sign or mention of Medallion being installed. The Sun is getting a bit long in the tooth and might be getting close to being off-loaded and not be worth the expenditure.

I think it is unlikely the Medallion will be installed in either the Sun or the Sea Princess, however, we are just guessing. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinbadThePorter Posted January 8, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) From Princess. WELCOME TO OCEAN MEDALLION Now available on Caribbean, Crown, Royal, Regal, Sky Princess and coming soon... 27 January 2020 - Ruby Princess 29 March 2020 - Grand Princess 15 June 2020 - Enchanted Princess 16 August 2020 - Emerald Princess 16 October 2020 - Coral Princess 20 December 2020 - Island Princess 2 November 2020 - Discovery Princess You will note that Golden and Star are not mentioned, presumably as they are going to P&O Oz. Since Sun and Sea are also not on the list it's a pretty fair assumption that Princess is not keeping them around either. Also missing is Pacific Princess. The odd ones out are Majestic, Sapphire and Diamond. All doing East Asia/Australia cruising at the moment. I don't know what is happening there.

Rare MicCanberra Posted January 8, 2020 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I will be on the Majestic next month, too bad it won't be available then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum52 Posted January 8, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2020 As a reasonably new ship, I wonder why the Majestic is not on the list to receive Medallion? You would think she would have been included early. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there is some reason that this would not appeal to passengers from Asia. I don't really know, just surmising.🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
