Stop by the shore excursions desk onboard if you want it on the shipboard account. Booking it pre-cruise online it would be added to your cruise cost and not taken from OBC as far as I know. You should also be able to do it on the app onboard or even the stateroom tv but I've never tried that.

The pictures I have seen show booze bottle stuck in the desserts.

We use retractable badge holders and it works great.

Thanks for the info. We were on the Emerald last month and will be back on the day you disembark. One week from tomorrow 😁. We have the plus package and and I wondered where the new juice bar will be on the Emerald. Probably not going yet for your cruise, as it was for sailings starting on the 20th. Some ships are having problems rolling out the new stuff.

I keep a cruise log/scrapbook that they go into. Something else for the kids to throw out someday but for now it jogs some good memories.

I get it now, old brain duh. Princess plus 50, no free medallion shipping, the new Princess plus 60 includes free medallion shipping? They just don't make that clear on the website or app. I will gladly take the $10 per day savings over a possible one time $10 savings.

Yes, you can transfer money from you cruise account to your casino account to play. Before the end of your cruise if you are fortunate to have some remaining, cash out your casino account at the casino cage. They will give you cash in the hundreds if you are lucky. Unfortunately I don't have any first hand experience with really huge wins 😁. But I believe that like land based casinos, they will hold some back for taxes.

And sometimes less.

You are no doubt correct but I was raised not to waste anything. Thinking about linking them together in a chain for a Christmas tree garland decorated with medallions. 😄

Can't seem to not include the standard lanyard along with the medallion order on the app. We have our own holders and a bunch of unused lanyards. I wonder if there is a market for those ? 😉 I think Princess could save some money by not handing out lanyards to those who don't need them.

I agree. However a change in the OBC amounts or required shares is always possible. Good thing I have those extra ones I bought at near bottom incase they raise the required shares. 😉

You can't go wrong with either. We like the grand class of ships and sail on them while we still can. We were on the Emerald in January and will return to her in March for the circle Caribbean cruise.

We noticed that also on our Panama Canal cruise last month. 🤔

Go to Princess.com there is a medallion class page and video that explains it well

Sail the ocean with Princess while you surf among the stars.

The point is right now is not listed as part of either cruise package. Maybe it was for a time, but not now. I'm done with this. Not worth the effort to to call or chat. Probably would not get a straight answer anyway. All I know is they tried to charge me on a cruise where I have the plus package.

Nope, not listed as part in either package on the Princess website. https://www.princess.com/cruise-deals-promotions/plus-premier-cruise-packages/

I don't recall. That was years ago.

4:00 AM what a great time to test something that makes noise.😒

I do not see this in the FAQ but it doesn't surprise me. Princess = consistently inconsistent. Not that $10 it is a big deal in the cost of a cruise but like I said, we have the package and the charge is there. Yet another question for the Oceanfront folks when we are onboard next month.

Really? I do not see anything in the new packages that say they include medallion shipping. I just tried to order medallions on the app for our October cruise and they want to charge for delivery. We are elite and have the plus package on that one. In addition, they don't tell you until the end about the charge and there is no way to go back to select the pick up at port option that I can find. If you don't confirm the order it says it will cancel 12 days from cruise. /images/global/cruise-deals-promotions/plus-premier-cruise-packages/plus-seawitch-logo-640x78.png PRINCESS PLUS Princess® dining, accommodations and entertainment MedallionClass® experience Plus Beverage Package (drinks up to $15 each) Wi-Fi (1 device per guest) Crew appreciation NEW Premium desserts (2 per day) NEW Fitness classes (2 per cruise) NEW Unlimited juice bar

Or you could look at it from the opposite direction. For the non or occasional alcohol drinker the the elite mini bar and 50% off WIFI make the packages less of a deal. You can save big by going with the standard rate. Depends on your cruise lifestyle.

Who knows. Things are not final. They may yet add deck names. I hope so. Baja 421 sounds more like a cruise cabin than 11421. That may as well be hotel. I will save my judgements about the ship layout in general until after I have sailed on her, which I hope to do next year. The first of a new class is always a test. They made some changes between Royal and the Regal and my guess is there will also be some between the Sun and the ???.

No the system "should" update almost immediately and the medallion "should" open the current cabin without effort on your part.

I do also. But I understand why Princess does their bonus as a card that can only be used with them. The expiration date on them could be longer. I had so many and so many refunded back or partial that it was hard to keep track.
