Medallion

[linaka625]

I have two questions about the medallion.  I've been on medallion cruises before, but haven't had these issues.

 

1.  We embark on June 4th on Majestic Princess.  Our medallions are still sitting in Los Angeles, and the tracking says that they will be arriving late (whatever that means).  Will we have any issue when we try to check in?  We are Platinum and in a full suite, so I'd like to go to that line, but we may not have our medallions.

2.  Between the time the medallions were mailed and now, we took an upsell from a mini suite to a penthouse suite.  Are the medallions that were sent to us linked to our old room?  How does that work?

TIA.

If they don't arrive, you will receive new ones at the pier. We received ours at the pier and the wait for this was insignificant. 

Yes, the Medallions are linked to your account. The device itself does not hold your information, except what is visibly imprinted on the face, but a code similar to a license plate on a car. If you get a new Medallion, they simply change your account at the pier to link to the new device code. Same thing if the battery goes dead, or you lose it. You get a new one.

More comcern to me is that if your Medallions arrive at home after you embark and someone gets your mail, they will know you are on vacation and when. Suggest that you have someone trusted pick up your mail.
