Very nice. Thanks for the photos.

 

Know it is easier to mail them and get people started.

But, it makes me smile thinking about years ago the booklets & excursion info sent and claims of wanting to "save the trees and ease for the guest" when this was discontinued.

 

These boxes of course are from recycled paper, aren't they? and using the medilion no more boarding passes ,  right? 

 

Like I said makes me feel like we r back where we started.

 

But don't get me wrong, Am looking forward to my first "full functioning" medallion cruise..I love the idea....Change is a good thing....

 

 The medallions come with so much packaging that I'm hoping it's not possible for Princess to keep up with this, especially as more ships use the medallions. I would think in a few years, you would just pick up your medallion as you check in.

Princess sent the below email to us a little over a month prior to embarkation.  Download the "Ocean Ready" app, create a user name and password, then run through the prompts to get the medallion set up (scan passport, take a frontal pic (security pic normally taking at embarkation), and a pic you can use as your app user pic.  

 

After the required pics/info/etc is complete, it asks for you to input where you would like the medallions to be sent.  Click send.  Sometime in the next day or two, you receive an email confirming your order, and at some point you receive one saying when your medallion has shipped and should arrive.  Ours arrived a day sooner than expected.

 

You can Youtube the below opportunities also to see other passenger how-to experiences, or find official Princess videos.

 

Hope this helps  🙂

 

And Happy Medallioning!  🙂

I would think in a few years,

.

Whether said packaging is paper or plastic, it's still over-packaging!

Much fuss over pretty medallions. New Thing!

That phase will pass of course.

 

One thing I did take note of though

Ship Security will know where  you are (where your medallion is!) at all times!

- and the Casino folk should also appreciate their new feature

where they can continue winning just about anywhere?

Question for those recently picking up their Medallions at embarkation, rather than receiving them by mail: Do they actually give all passengers the same big bulky, wasteful box, or do they simply give you your Medallion and lanyard, and no packaging.

No, they just give you the Medallion..no extra packaging. I was told my 3 year old wouldn't receive a medallion, just a cruise card but when we checked in, I was handed a ruby medallion along with his cruise card.

Is there a bracelet one? Can you choose? I hear Canadians will get theirs at pier?

We received our medallions today and though we are both Ruby and it shows that on the booking one was blue.  Called Princess and they said it can be changed at ship.
