Were they green or gold?  Sounds like a dumb question, but under a certain light, the gold medallions do not look gold at all. Here is a photo from a Cruise Critic article.  The gold medallion on the bottom row can be a bit deceiving in certain light.  Comes off almost as chartreuse.

Looking at that picture it might have been the gold and in the light I could not make it out!  Thanks

Based on your Captain's Circle loyalty level.  Blue are first timers

I believe Princess has switched to first timers having White, which originally signified inaugural sailings for that ship. This has been my experience, since June 2023 on my recent sailings.

Possibly - but in any case - based on loyalty level.  One can also notice when going to one's cabin, that the display also has the color corresponding to medallion/level.

I also saw a couple of green medallions.   Bright green not gold

Passengers who are prone to mal de mer get Green medallions so the crew knows who to keep an eye on when things get rough...  😉

Last year when we were on the Enchanted Princess we were told the white medallions were for the inaugural year at all levels (the color of the sea witch designated loyalty level).  This summer on the Caribbean Princess our grandchild on her first Princess cruise received a blue medallion.  The rest of us received the appropriate color.  That was true on our Coral Princess cruise last spring too.

All the first timers on our last 3 ships since June (Crown, Emerald and Majestic) were white.

My last cruise the medallion was supposed to be gold but looked more of an olive drab green.

It sounds as though they just ran short of colors to hand out and chose white.

I have been in the Sapphire, Emerald and Majestic since June of this year and all 1st timers had White medallions with Blue Seawitch. I asked Hotel director on Sapphire and was told this is the new policy. Supposedly, eventually all officers will also have White Medallions, but the ‘I love this’ script will also be present.

 

As previously posted, White has previously been used for Inauguration year ship sailings. My family all received White Medallions on Discovery last year with the color of the Seawitch matching their loyalty tier.

Or they have an abundance of white and want to use them up before the batteries inside begin to die.

[voljeep]

transitioning from Captain's Circle Status to Package purchased

 

standard = white

 

PLUS = grey

 

Premier = ORANGE!

 

or not

It sounds like the most logical answer.

I saw it on the Caribbean Princess and the Enchanted this summer.

Here's another take on the white: After all they're stickers applied to the medallion so, it could be they start out white and are printed with either the standard or custom designs. That takes INK! And we all know that ink is expensive. The the new design is predominately white, it takes less ink and therefore less money. Yet another example of Princess cost-cutting.
