Pickels Posted December 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I understand they are no longer mail the Ocean Medallions to booked cruisers. You now have to pick them up at the port. Does anyone know if you pick them up before you get on the ship, or do you obtain them when you check-in? Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bren51 Posted December 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 14, 2018 You receive the medallion which is enclosed in plastic along with your cruise card upon check in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagletwo Posted December 14, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 14, 2018 We downloaded the Ocean Ready app on my Android phone last week, entered photo's of our passport and verified personal info. The app even had our ship security photo already loaded from our cruise in August. Ordered the Medallion and just received text notice on December 13th from parent company Carnival that the Medallions have been shipped by DHL and will arrive at our house on December 17th. Upon arrival at the port, there is supposed to be an area for those passengers who already have the Medallion and app to proceed to the check in desk and pick up their cruise card. At the time of ordering the Medallion, there was an offer to buy accessories for the Medallion but we want to see the items for sale on the ship. Now we just hope it all works out.

That's exactly how it worked for us last week on the CB (Terminal 4 at Port Everglades). After clearing the x-ray machine, a nice Princess lady asked us if we already had or OM or if we needed to pick them up. As we had them, she escorted us to the check-in counter where our OM devices were looked at along with our passports and where we were given our cruise cards. We barely slowed down and were headed to the boat in under 30 seconds. At the time of ordering the Medallion, there was an offer to buy accessories for the Medallion but we want to see the items for sale on the ship. And you will. The ways to spend money are almost limitless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted December 14, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 14, 2018 They are supplied at check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted December 14, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 14, 2018 We were on the CB last month and picked up our OM and cruisecard in the terminal before boarding. I had downloaded the OceanReady app and filled out the information. Princess has plans to start mailing the OM before the cruise or you can pick them up in the terminal. Our cruise was too soon to mail it. The OceanReady app certainly got us through the checkin part very fast and I did not need the printed boarding document.

Lucky TGO Posted December 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) I completed the application for the Ocean Ready App about 3 weeks ago. I was told the Ocean Medallion was going to be mailed to me 2 weeks before the cruise. Tony Edited December 15, 2018 by Lucky TGO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't fill out the application to have ours sent to us because we have no clue of what to do with them so thought it would be best to wait to get ours when we boarded the ship.

Ours left Singapore via DHL on a Friday and arrived in North Texas three days later on Monday. Ocean Ready was our friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuLu Hi LuLu, I hope I’m doing this right. I received this just the other day from Princess it tells you the benefit of filling out the Ocean Ready App and how to do it. One of the benefits you will receive your Ocean Medallion in the mail. Watch the video it’s from YouTube it may help answer your questions. One benefit you will board the ship faster if you all ready have the Ocean Medallion. LuLu don’t forget you still owe me a dance. 😁😁 Tony 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlp20 Posted December 15, 2018 #12 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Time frame of your TOTAL completion of registration and ap information dictates delivery. Recent post stated pax had completed everything on Friday and got OM delivered following Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ep010835 Posted December 15, 2018 #13 Share Posted December 15, 2018 22 minutes ago, Lucky TGO said: Are the Ocean Medallions blue or are they the Color of your membership? Tony Loyalty color. It appeared however, that all of the inserts (that into which the OM fits and is in turn placed into the clear plastic holder) were blue. BUT........ inserts for all loyalty colors were available at the OM desk for a *nominal* charge! These, along with a couple of dozen other inserts signifying religion, nationality, etc., etc. Yet another in a long string of on board "shopping opportunities"! Aren't they nice. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew J. Cat Posted December 16, 2018 #14 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread! I had no idea that the OM was going to be up and running. We have downloaded the app, entered our passport info and pictures, etc. The avatar picture option is very fun! We tried to order the medallions, but the app said that there wasn't sufficient time to mail them. Thus we will pick them up at the port. Fine with us. We're pretty psyched about this! Tony, that YouTube video was great. Thanks for the link. Many thanks again to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MrSchwump Posted December 16, 2018 #15 Share Posted December 16, 2018 One thing I don’t think the video tells you is, after you scan your passport, you have to take a picture of it. I missed that the first time. I’m glad to hear that there’s actually something that the OM will do for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the PM has on it is a code that the ship's computers link to your information. So whether you get it in the mail or at the port terminal it will have the code that identifies you and thus once on board will be 100% ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
