argenta01 Posted August 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I will be taking my first Ocean Medallion cruise in Oct. I was wondering if anyone had pictures of the different kinds of accessories you can get to hold the medallion? I didn't see anything on the Princess site. I'm guessing they are only available once you board. Do they have fancy stuff, rhinestones, etc? thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted August 31, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2019 If you review the below video and pause along the way you can see some of the medallion holders that are for sale. Most passengers I saw just used the lanyard with the cruise card sized plastic holder that is provided for free. I saw some with the rubber like wrist bands and some with a small clip on. On our cruise there was a separate table in the photo section where the items were sold. https://www.princess.com/ships-and-experience/ocean-medallion/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted August 31, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Bracelets, necklaces, posh lanyards and differing cards to customise your medallion. Some items were as high as $54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it come with the clear plastic holder as well? Landyard? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare donswife Posted August 31, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 31, 2019 We just got our medallions by Fed Ex. When I ordered them, I was given the option to order accessories, but didn't pay attention to what the choices and prices were. M-I-L ordered wrist bands, and I think she said they were $7. We received the rectangular plastic holder and lanyard that clips onto it with our medallions. We didn't use them last time, just carried them in our pockets or in my mini phone purse.

TIA We received the clear plastic holder plus lanyard at check-in. The plastic holder can be opened and Medallion removed. The holder had a Princess logo'd paper insert for decoration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vampiress Posted August 31, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 31, 2019 You don’t need a card holder if you use the card the medallion snaps into, the card is made to with with lanyard clips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just ordered our Medallions for a November cruise & only had options for a notebook or water bottle unlike in March when there were some options for paid holders.

Colo Cruiser Posted August 31, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Frank, I see that you can preorder that pictured plastic holder for $2 on the APP, however they want $6 shipping. 🙄 I see onboard it is $3 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted August 31, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Download the new Medallion app, and get Ocean Ready. At the end, you’ll have the chance to order accessories to be delivered with your Medallions. We liked doing this as opposed to waiting til we boarded to buy them. We both tried the sportbands and lanyards and liked both for their own purposes. The sportbands were easiest to us to just wear. The lanyard came in handy for port days to tuck into my purse or DH’s travel wallet and for formal night when I didn’t want a bright pink rubber sportband. The lanyard is pretty long and can dangle quite low, which could be annoying. They do offer fancier options like gold and silver necklaces and bracelets. The chain for the necklace looked too short to me and could not be made longer. The bracelet was stiff so looked uncomfortable to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissP22 Posted August 31, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 31, 2019 They've also got a plastic clip to attach it to your shirt or waste band. I think the price was $7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally take offence at them overcharging for carriers to hold their product. I can understand charging for a gold plated necklace but at least they could provide a rubber wristband for free. My DH was so irked that he came up with his own designed clasp for both of us before we sailed on out first Medallion trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSoCalCruiser Posted August 31, 2019 #22 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I think I will store mine in my little cross body bag that will be holding my phone. Does anyone know if a phone will mess up the Ocean Medallion like it can a cruise card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing like the old cruise cards that could be cancelled by a magnetic pocketbook clasp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks...nothing else was available when ordering our OMs a couple of days ago. Just tried it again & it still only shows the notebook & water bottle available for my cruise.
