We were never asked for our Medallion after our first visit to the Club dining room. 

It puzzled me why we are asked, as we were greeted by name after the first visit.

 

Since they knew who we were, I did not see the need to scan a Medallion.

I wonder if the newest ships for the other brands are having the hardware for the Medallion technology installed as part of the ships' construction

I was told that P&O's Iona had all the cabling installed for the Medallion system when she was built but as the system was unreliable at that time, and Covid intervened, it was not implemented.

I think it’s possible that the system may track usage of the MDR’s

Is it mandatory to use the medallion. My brother-in-law is one of those who thinks everyone is watching. He refuses to allow access to his photos and camera. Does he somehow bypass this? I apologize if this has already been asked.

 

I don't get it.  130 posts on a topic when the answer should be "why does the OP care about what the BIL does as long as it works for him and he is happy.  A bit of a tempest in a teapot in my opinion.

I see it more as a mountain out of a mole hill.

At the end of the day, I think the majority feel the BiL is just irrational.  But, that is his perrogative.

Agree, but shouldn't that be 'Storm in a Teacup.' a much smaller event 🙂

For what it's worth, you can block guests from finding you through the app. Go to my preferences, compass, and  gflip the switch to be hidden from other guests.

Never understand people like this, do they think there is a big room somewhere with lots of people, and lots of screens watching what you do. 

 

And of course on a cruise ship there are upwards of 1000 cameras so in a sense he is correct, someone IS watching at all times. 🙂

Anyone think brother in law has a sidepiece on the ship and wants to play?

Actually, the OP asked, for her BIL, if there was a way to cruise without a medallion. She received that information.  Most of the remaining responses are commentary on her BILs mental health. She didn’t ask for any of that, but it is human nature.

 

If CC consisted only of reasonable questions, asked once, and practical answers, provided once, it would be a very small website indeed. And a lot less interesting.
