Rare CineGraphic Posted October 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I've read here that this has been quite common lately. I keep my medallion in one of my pockets anyway, so it really doesn't matter. It's just a shame that they have so much trouble getting simple things right pre-cruise. Thankfully, the service on board seems to more than make up for the pre-cruise screw-ups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted October 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Are you saying that I am NOT the only one things happen to? Thank you so very much. I am trying to do yoga breaths to get me through the next few days. Princess keeps changing my data on my app (and not for the good). What was good yesterday is invalid today.

Rare ontheweb Posted October 22, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2021 This all sounds like an Albert King blues song, If it weren't for bad luck, I would have no luck at all. But the creator of this mess did actually have good luck; he got promoted to be the head of Princess.🤦♂️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed data on my App during the night prior to check in and changed it from green to blue meaning it took longer to actually check in and then kept changing reserved dining times in restaurant during the whole cruise on a UK Seacation on Regal in August.

Sprocket Posted October 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2021 We were given the wrong color in August but in our case we were promoted from blue to gold. Wondering if we'll be Ruby when we board in December for our 3rd cruise. I'm sure they'll be happy to give you a new one at the pier, but you'll definitely have some interesting stories to tell by the time this all gets worked out.

cruzrbachoua Posted October 22, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2021 We were given blue and we are platinum. Noticed others with the correct color so not sure what happened. Also ours came in a slim little box and I saw others post when they got theirs recently it was the big box with the fold out pic all the pomp and circumstance...we don't keep the box so I was ok with that but wish it showed the loyalty color as I requested.

pms4104 Posted October 22, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Princess ought to provide all medallions in my favorite color ... which is CLEAR. Each medallion should come with a small assortment of markers ... so pax can customize the medallion as desired. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdiebill Posted October 22, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 22, 2021 If you have the wrong color, visit the Captains Circle office once onboard, and he or she can put the correct color sticker over your wrong color. We went from platinum to elite on a back to back and had to do that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a time when only a few ships are sailing, and with significantly reduced capacities ... you'd think they could issue the medallions correctly from the get go. Your situation was unique ... but I marvel at a sticker. The possibilities are endless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be lots of fun. Lol 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ombud Posted October 23, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I keep my medallion in my pocket so the color is irrelevant but I'm hoping for a blue one. Much prettier than the black IMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted October 24, 2021 #14 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It sounds as if they had made a buttload of Medallions in various colors and then got stuck with the due to the virus. Stickers would be a cheap "fix" - although I don't consider it a good fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LACruiser88 Posted October 24, 2021 #17 Share Posted October 24, 2021 At least it sounds like everyone has gotten their Medallion for the correct cruise. We just got ours for a cruise that was cancelled 6 weeks ago! And we still can't get our Nov 6th cruise on the app! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the old days, you used to be able to jump the tender line with a black card. But, more recently, they seemed to ask for tender tickets. The only place I think card color might help is the suite/elite happy hour, which is hardly worth bothering with, anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant get away with that now, as your loyalty level shows up, along with your name/photo on those ipads the staff use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted October 24, 2021 #21 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I got a notice on the app that I'll have to pick up my medallion at the port. My cruise is in six weeks. Princess shipped me my medallion for my last cruise in August, and I didn't book it until four weeks beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep 'em all guessing and make your own status that way. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
