Rare *Miss G* Posted August 24, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Out of curiousity, why would you want them to ship to your home? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it might have been for a different reason. It took four of us about 20 seconds to pick ours up at the desk after checking in. I couldn’t figure out why everyone wanted to have them sent to their homes. I also couldn’t figure out an easier way of losing them. 😂 Maybe our sailing was an anomalie as it was just after the pandemic and I haven’t sailed with them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, every time we've picked up our Medallions (most recently last Feb), it's never taken more than about 120 seconds to walk over to the counter and collect them. I think that a lot of people just seem to get very excited about receiving them ahead of time, but it never made any difference to us. Currently though, I believe there is another reason why some want them mailed. Princess recently "simplified" their check-in system (Blue, Green or Yellow Lane) and AFAIK, unless you have your Medallion mailed to you ahead of time, you will always default to Blue Lane even if all your other information is correctly updated in the system. That certainly was the case for us for three of our upcoming five trips. Even though I had all our data correct, we went from Green Lane "down" to Blue Lane because our Medallions are being collected at the port. Judging from some of the reactions here on CC, that seems to really upset some people, but it sure makes no difference to us. Even when they start shipping up here, we'll probably still opt for collecting them at the port. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted September 12, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I agree I would rather buy myself a fancy sailway cocktail than have my medallion ship to me at a cost of $15 US - took barely a couple of minutes to pick it up when boarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Human Tripod Posted September 12, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted September 12, 2023 We don’t mind picking up at the pier and I wouldn’t pay extra to have them shipped, but for people with some of the packages the shipping is included in the package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabric Posted September 13, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Canadians will be able to order Medallion to be send to a Canadian address Sept 25. If you have Plus and Premier it is free shipping and Standard there is a shipping charge. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
