You'll either have to take your medallion out or give them your room number. It's much easier to walk around with medallion not in your pocket. I don't see why that would be so. Cloth material shouldn't have any affect on the signal strength being able to be detected, especially just a layer or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its now just the medallion in a very small holder which it can easily snap out of if necessary to fit in other holders. Mine never fell out on either voyage. I'm not a fan of lanyards at all, but the next cruise I will be taking this one so I can replace the blue square for one that says "Happily retired" 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain of The Rowboat, Tony Barring some really strange and unforeseen circumstance I will never sail in a suite. I don't carry a wallet onboard and won't be having a cruise card either so... I will most likely just carry the medallion in my pocket like I did the cruise card. So far, almost every medallion cruise we have booked has been cancelled by Princess. The one that wasn't cancelled was supposed to be the first medallion cruise on Caribbean Princess. We did the cruise but they postponed the medallion on that ship so we have never actually seen or held a medallion. Maybe the May 2nd cruise will happen.

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 16, 2022 #58 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) @Lucky TGO@Thrak They were not given out on a b2b on the Grand in October (in a suite). And they are not real leather. Just "found" my lanyard and it is white with blue lettering (Ocean Medallion).

40yearcruiser Posted February 16, 2022 #60 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I've never yet been on a medallion cruise, although I've booked several that either the ship was delayed in being medallion ready or the cruises were cancelled due to Covid. However, we do have medallions (and lanyards) that we had already received before our March 2020 cruise was cancelled so I've been able to test them in different holders. I have found that the Apple Airtag is the same size and any bracelet, necklace, keychain, etc. you can find for it on Amazon or Ebay will work with the medallion. We have bought bracelets with a soft nylon mesh strap that fasten with velcro for our cruise next month. It even fits my husband's very large wrist and my very small one. They seem to be more comfortable than the plastic ones and less expensive. I also bought a keychain with a pretty silver airtag holder surrounded by tiny rhinestones that I can remove and put on a chain if I want a dressy necklace, or clip it to my purse. Now just waiting for the new medallions to arrive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then there were clubs in Spain that had the option of having rfid tags injected under your skin. The rfid tags were associated with your card account... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susancruzs Posted February 17, 2022 #65 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I have a fancy lanyard, I like it. I believe they employ people with health challenges to make the product. Some have magnetic clasps, have to be aware of that, I ended up sending one back, chose another one. Hidden Hollow Beads, a family business in Utah. Just me, I try to stay away from Amazon, WalMart. https://www.hiddenhollowbeads.com/product-category/fashion-lanyards/ Edited February 17, 2022 by susancruzs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have used our on multiple cruises and it works great. I have this one for my fitbit. I put the holder just above the watch screen. It was always there but out of the way. Formal nights the medallion was in my clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj59 Posted February 18, 2022 #71 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Actually I prefer the basic lanyard, because you can hang it on your door after entering along with your mask and not forget either when you leave. If my mask or medallion isn't there, I'll forget it eventually. I also wear an Apple Watch, so having a watch band on both wrists feels weird. They have a shop at their Medallion help desk and will be happy to sell you any sort of band or attachment you want, so I'd wait to get on board and see what they have available and if it's worth it to you.
