HOW DO FOLKS CARRY THEIR OCEAN MEDALLIONS?

[PiperHolliday]

A clip inside my pocket or purse, just like a cruise card. I do not like lanyards or having a card or device clipped to me or looking/being obnoxious on my body. Can't stand smart watches either - too bulky and not very cute, for me personally. I wish cruise lines would abandon their wrist band ideas, too. I do not want to wear it.

They sell those on the ship?

 

Yes, I *believe* they're $5-10 each. When I sailed, they were giving them away quite a bit because the medallion had just been introduced and they wanted to hype it up. So I got mine at no cost. 

[smwg]

I'm new to the Medallions.  So, in looking for a holder (clip, bracelet, watch, or whatever), how do I know if the medallion will fit whatever I buy?  Are there dimensions listed somewhere?  Does it connect to the holder with a magnet?  I would rather get something from Amazon, assuming it will be cheaper than getting it on the cruise ship, but in reality the cost is a minuscule amount when considering the cost of a cruise, anyway. Lol!

I never forget to put my watch on in the morning, so these posted earlier are my favorite

Our first medallion cruise, we just carried ours around in our pockets like we did the old cruise cards.  Kept them in the plastic case that comes with them.

 

For our upcoming cruise I bought these Apple Air Tag holders from Amazon.  Tried the old medallions in one and they are a perfect fit!  DH is going to just clip his to a belt loop, I will do the same if have pants on with loops or in the evening clip it to my evening bag strap.  You can get creative with how you attach the Air Tag holder to whatever you wish.

I actually got a little more creative and ordered one of these from Amazon since lots of my slacks/capris do not have belt loops

The carabiner on the Air Tag holder was too big for the key chain, so I found a smaller clip around the house to attach.  I also removed the ring that came with the key chain.  This is how my medallion will be on our next cruise.  This way I can wear it attached to beltless pants with the key chain or use the small clip on belt loops or my purse.

We had a setup similar to this.  Except I pryed open the plastic covering,

and took out the Blue surround paper.

Why have a blue surround when youre Elite?  Why not black?

Why not coordinate that color to your level in the Center?

So we threw away the blue paper, popped it close, and then had a Clear cover with elite fob inside.

Thought it looks nicer clear. ☺️

 

 

 

   Son; you've got too much time on your hands.

A question. Is the Medallion like the key card; does it get deactivated if kept too close to your Kindle?

We have sailed Princess many times but our upcoming cruise will be our first Medallion cruise!  What do you all use to carry your Medallion!  Still use lanyards? Wrist bands? In your pocket?
I'd love to see what you all are using!

Enter this on eBay.

We usually wear the wristband because it’s waterproof, fairly comfortable,  and convenient. Inevitably, I get frustrated on at least one or two days and switch it out into the lanyard and carry it in my purse, usually on formal nights or sea days. 

[CineGraphic]

Mine stays in my left pant's pocket.

No need to wear it as if you are at some sort of convention or trade show.

I bought a clip for wearing the medallion while on board.  Had purchased a holder off Amazon to put in my Apple Watch.  Hated it—there were a number of times I had to twist my arm for the medallion to be read.

 

A number of our table mates wore the “double” bands—Apple watch on one wrist, medallion band on the other.  Didn’t like that look so got the clip which worked for me.

 

Hubby is frugal—he used the holder and lanyard it came with.

I don’t always have a pocket to store my medallion in.  I’m very happy with my bracelet.

My friend gave me this bracelet for my birthday. She purchased the bracelet on the ship.  I love it.  

 

I got the wristband as well and really love it.  I first got a large because I have larger wrists but it was falling off my wrist and then the medallion would pop out.  They allowed me to exchange it for a medium and that did the trick.  I also have some fit bit wrist bands I got on Amazon.  I like both options.  My DH just puts his in the plastic case that it comes with (without the lanyard) and keeps it in his pocket.  However, I don't really see anything wrong with wearing it on a lanyard ... to each his own, I guess.

I wear a lot of dresses that do not have pockets plus I really like the jewelry.

I really like this one but I can't wear metal.  I can change the chain I suppose?  But if there's nickel in the medallion holder and it touches my skin I will get rash (I'm just so delicate! LOL).  Then again if the chain is long enough like this I can wear it. 
Guess I will check out ebay.  Thanks!

I purchased an inexpensive wrist band from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V6N65XD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1 & I loved it & it was so easy to use & if necessary they could easily read it.

We both have the holder that fits on our fitbit band.  We used it in 2019 and loved it.   Using it in 2 days

These are the same as Princess ones, are they not?  Pre-order in the app is $10 and onboard is $12.

But you have to pay $6 for shipping.  No tax onboard.  AND you can use OBC.

Seems like best bet for Canadians is to wait and buy onboard. 12 usd, no tax and no postage.
