Medallion App Updated and Working Now

[HBCcruiser]

Strange - I logged into the Medallion App and it has a new look. PLUS I was just able to complete the Medallion order for our upcoming July 5, 2021 cruise. I highly doubt that it will sail, but...weird, right? Wishful thinking? 🤔

Hi there,

I also read about Princess rolling out changes to their apps on this forum, but I just logged on to my app and don't see any changes? Were you asked to update the app? I wasn't prompted to do so on my phone. Please share with us if there's anything new or interesting that you see.

MedallionClass App. I am taking screen shots now. I'll post in a bit. My phone automatically updates so I am not sure when it updated.

New look from what I saw before. Plus they have a new page where you must select your arrival and departure group (time). I am unable to do this yet, though.

Thanks a bunch. Wow this is definitely a new look. The real test will have to be seeing if the tech gremlins have been neutralized.

 

Did you find any troubles confirming the Medallion order? Thanks in advance.

Another new feature allows you to use your medallion shoreside to pay for food/merch at select stores & restaurants, offering 5% cashback in St. Thomas and more destinations.

Not until I got to the last step - selecting a boarding time. My guess is the July cruise is not going to happen which is why I cannot select anything.

We cannot select an arrival or departure group for our July 31st UK Seacation on Regal Princess either - and that should be going ahead.

Another new option is the that you can order the normal medallion, or a customized medallion for $5.

Choices include your "tagalong" art, birthstone, national flag, zodiac sign, or celebrations like birthdays and anniversaries.

First time Medallion cruise.  I downloaded the app and then started to fill in everything.  I was "hoping" everything would transfer from Personalizer....nope.

 

Then I tried to order my medallion......long, long, long lag times.  First few times I tried, and gave up.  Then I had more time on my hands and tried again.  Still long lag time, but it opened up information pages.  

 

My cruise is later in the year.  I did order my medallion.  Will it be mailed sooner or later (closer to the cruise)?  Will it have a lost finder since I might just misplace it from now till then (lol).

 

I saw the shoreside pay and not sure this is something I would like my medallion to do.  Would it be for select (Princess chosen stores)?????  Looking forward to testing out this technology.  I was on three ships pre-Covid that "was suppose" to be Medallion, but wasn't.

Thank you @HBCcruiser!! This is exciting news!

Thank you, HBCruiser, I appreciate you answering my question.

Yes, most likely the same shops they push in the shopping talks we tend to avoid.

I have a question, do we still need Ocean Concierge or Medallion Class Apps???

Got my answer as to MedallionClass, it was updated when I opened it with all of our booked cruises.

Downloaded, worked well. Ordered our Medallions. Most of the other stuff is not operable, maybe because 1. Haven't made final payments.  2. Cruise is 216 days out

 

But it knew me w/o signing in, cool

I updated last night to the improved MedallionClass app for my iPad however my iPhone version in the App Store isn’t available yet...anyone had any luck with an iPhone? I have the latest iOS on both devices.

 

No problems ordering the Medallion for October but it appears the previous lanyard & rectangular plastic holder is no longer included. We didn’t use them & didn’t see a lot of passengers using it either. We bought aftermarket clips through Amazon which worked well for us.

That wasn’t available for any of our future cruises & always received this notification...

Yes! My phone updates apps automatically. The screenshots are from my phone.

Same here. I’ll give it some time but again, I highly doubt our July cruise is a go. Ones form the UK should be, though.
