Rare Neil_c Posted December 4, 2023 #126 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Hi I have not read the entire thread as a UK resident I do not have any option to have the medallion posted to home. Will have to see what the lines are like at San Pedro next month do not mined a short wait, but as a Brit queuing is a way of life! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity puts your cruise cards in an envelope right outside you stateroom. No reason princess couldn't do this with Medallions. You check in, board the ship and get your Medallions. They aren't charging a fee, having people not get them in time, lose them, etc., oh, and can give me my loyalty priority check in back. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but how would they then make a profit from selling people the option? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cha4244 Posted December 4, 2023 #129 Share Posted December 4, 2023 In Seattle for Discovery the wait for the medallions was 30 seconds. It could be different in other ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted December 4, 2023 #130 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Thought I’d never do it, but I did. Paid $15 US to have 4 items delivered to my home in Canada before my Regal cruise out of Galveston. Let’s see if I get it- I frequently get the neighbour’s mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure was and if it continues in Dec, I might be forced to spent the extra $$ as much as I didn't think it was worth the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedferg Posted December 4, 2023 #132 Share Posted December 4, 2023 To reiterate, $10 is a small amount of money but, to me, having the Medallion pre cruise has no value versus the concern of whether it would be shipped in time, lost in shipping etc. (One person did point out that you can pick it up at the port if it is lost) Recently in Hawaii there were two lines to get into the building, a quick one for Medallion holders and a wait to check passport for non-holders. Inside there was just one long line, regardless of status or Medallion. I think this might have been due to the need to check Aus and NZ visas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am picking up in Civitavecchia next week, and I expect the same. I have a cruise leaving from Southampton in 2024 and when I try to have the medallion sent to me in Texas through my app, it says it's not available for shipping and picking up at the port is my only option. Is this normal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It took my wife 20 years to talk me into a cruise...) It was a post pandemic cruise. For the life of me I can't remember if it was Carnival or RCI.

Is this normal?? Very efficient when we sailed from Southampton in September. 1 queue but if Platinum, elite or suites you get priority (save about 2 minutes). Time from arriving (valet Parking), dropping luggage with porters (no tipping) getting medallion, check in, passport control and security to onboard - 30 minutes Neil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
