Rare TiogaCruiser Posted March 30 #2 Share Posted March 30 If it’s copper, don’t be surprised if it shows up on your bed or your steward knocks on your door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodakboiler Posted March 30 #3 Share Posted March 30 This isn't Princess- you'll get a keycard outside your cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TiogaCruiser Posted March 30 #4 Share Posted March 30 Hmmm OP- what “medallion” are you referring to? If it’s your keycard, you’re not going to get one. You’ll get a credit card like ID on your cabin door when you board. If you want a tracker that will open your door, book with princess. If it’s the presentation medallion for various numbers of sea days, you’ll either get it in your cabin (most likely if it’s copper) or at an event you receive an invitation to (silver, gold, platinum) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an actual medallion that HAL gives out for sailing X amount of days. Bronze = 100 / silver = 300 / gold = 500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left mine in the cabin when we disembarked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Bronze were given out - I was told that they were just sent to the cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll get mine on the next cruise, so I’ll hang it up with my dog tags and other assorted doo-dads. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abellkathleen Posted March 31 #10 Share Posted March 31 Not sure if all Princess ships have installed technology for medallion, but I’m sailing majestic mid-May to Alaska and will have a medallion not a key card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but this was posted on the Holland America board, where Medallion refers to a keepsake awarded for days spent on a 'Dam ship. Enjoy your Princess cruise.

Blackduck59 Posted March 31 #12 Share Posted March 31 @graceinga I'm not sure if we ever gave you the answer you were looking for. So as you may have surmised, if you are enquiring about the little key fob "medallion" as found on Princess, HAL doesn't have those. I think the confusion is with the "Medallion" keepsakes that HAL presents for their loyalty program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help. Looking at your signature, I am guessing you are referring to what you usually receive on Princess for your doors, ordering, etc? If so, as others have said, HAL uses the traditional room card key, not the medallion. If you see people referring to medallions, that is a loyalty item you get with a certain number of actual cruise days (this does not include bonus spending) - Bronze for 100 actual sailing days on HAL, 300 for silver, 500 for gold and I believe 700+ for platinum.

I think all Princess ships are Medallion class and have been for some time. Platinum is 700. I got mine on the Noordam last summer. DW got her medallion too. I'm not sure I could put my hands on all four that I've been given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medallions are not related to the star program. They are for actual days sailed. We are also close to 4 star but nowhere near 100 days (Bronze medallion) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertDogs Posted April 1 #22 Share Posted April 1 I received my Bronze Medallion on my last cruise from the Neptune Lounge Concierge. The Medallion ceremony usually does not include Bronze, however, we were invited probably because we were staying in the Pinnacle Suite. I had my picture taken with the Captain. 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa traveller Posted April 1 #23 Share Posted April 1 I am on the Rotterdam. They had a ceremony last week for Silver Medallions and up. Not sure if those receiving bronze were invited to attend. There was a large crowd in attendance. I know that Platinum medallion holders and President's Club were invited. It's likely that it was 4 and 5 star Mariners who were invited.

SDARCH Posted April 1 #24 Share Posted April 1 We had a Bronze-only event on our May 2023 Trans Atlantic. 95 recipients. Medallions were on our bed a couple of days before - and we didn't think to bring them to the event. I assume the other levels had a separate event.

Euby Posted April 2 #25 Share Posted April 2 I'll hit the 100-day mark during my next cruise. Will they provide it at that point or on my next cruise (like they do the Mariner levels)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
