- Опубликовано: 27 май 2024
- So in this video we walk you through how to use the Princess Medallionclass App & the Princess Medallion.
We walk you through how to use the App both before your cruise and once on board to get the most of your holiday/vacation, from pre-boarding to ordering food & drinks on the app to be delivered straight to you almost anywhere on the ship.
We also show you the Medallion and some of the features this can be used for.
Here is the link for the wrist straps we used - 2 Pack Airtag Wristband... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B51W2LM...
Hope you enjoy 😁

I just returned from a Discovery Princess cruise. I love the Medallion Class experience BUT I was absolutely shocked and dismayed that they didn't have a bin for us to return the medallion which is a type of airtag. Where are they made and who are they made by? More than likely they're extracted in from mines and manufactured in factories that exploit their labor force. Image 3000-4000 medallions tossed at the end of every cruise. These should be recycled.
Yes absolutely agree, you can't reuse them either. They should have a recycling bin definitely
@@OneCouplesAdventure I didn't think you'd see my post but thanks for your response. I am completing my post cruise survey now and suggesting that the medallions be collected to recycle the parts at the end of every cruise. Very wasteful and not environmentally friendly, if they do not.
@nyame-ama I think that's a great idea! The thing is, many of my guests choose to keep it and collect it as a momento! The same way some people collect ticket stubs from concerts.
@@richiegill6098 That is great for those who want to keep it but for everyone else, what a waste though.
Another plus of the Medallions are that they are magnetic and make great souvenirs, since they are engraved with the date and cruise details!
This was very helpful, thank you so much! I have cruised Princess many times, but not since the medallion age. Very informative and clear to understand. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much
Good information. As a passenger on the Royal in 2019, they had us use both the card and the medallion because it was in the testing stage on the ship. It was interesting to see all the IT guys on the ground and up in the ceiling setting up the receivers throughout the ship. We have taken a few cruises with Princess since that time, and I have got to say that one of my favorite usages of the Medallion app was the contacting customer service without having to go stand in the lobby to explain whatever issue I had. It was a charge, and they immediately took it off. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been on 35+ cruises & enjoyed your video incase I had overlooked anything. You did a thorough review of how everything works. Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much
My husband and I are cruise vlog junkies. We watch a lot of different ones and not a day goes by that we don't watch at least a few. We just discovered your vlog and I gotta tell ya......we LOVE your format and your personalities. We couldn't subscribe fast enough. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Oh wow thanks so much, really appreciate it 😁
I agree! Great presentation!
Really like that idea instead of a plastic card, you can go swimming and use the swim up bars without worrying about where to keep your card.
Yes that's a good feature 👍
Thank you, you're the first one I've listened to that said you don't need internet connection using app on the ship & connection with medallion
Yes it can be confusing and catch people out thinking they need the actual Internet 👍
We really enjoyed using the medallion, sooo easy to order food and drink to your location. Great for opening the door to the cabin too.
Yes it was strange having to use a card again on the P&O just lol
Going on my first Princess Cruise in a week. This was most helpful. Thank you!
Hi Kev. It's been many years since I was on a Princess ship. This is wonderful information. Thank you for sharing all the medalion can do. Every cruise line should do this. So much easier.
Hi MaryAnn thanks for watching and yes it's a great idea, really easy to use as well 😀
Thank you for this video. It's so detailed and gave me a very good look at the app and it's functions. We're cruising on Princess for the first time this summer for our first cruise to Alaska and I can't wait!
Thanks so much, hope you have a fantastic cruise
Definitely agree it’s the best cruise app when used with the medallion. Really enjoyed it on Enchanted Princess, although a few times my drinks order didn’t arrive so glad I’d got a package and didn’t have to sort out charges.
When we had a drink that we got charged for when we were told it was included they sorted it out for us, so im sure they would sort out any missed deliveries
Thanks for post. It is good to know about Medcallion class app and Medallion. It is easy to use it than card. I never seen Princess ship before I hope I will go there some day. I like to go on oldest or older ships with indoor pool.
Kev & Stacey, Just wanted to say “thank you” for this video, we watched it a few weeks back prior to our cruise on “SKY” this week.
Your video is/was a mega helpful insight, we’ve only been on board a few days (with a wake view, sorry Stacey😂). And the app is super useful and ultra handy once you start to navigate through it. Also thanks for the tip on the two buttons on the door panel for privacy and housekeeping- we find these a godsend and wouldn’t have know otherwise. The medallion net internet is the best I’ve come across at sea! Thanks again you two keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment. Very Jealous of those wake views lol 😍. Glad your having an amazing time and glad the video helped with the Medallion and app 😀
First Princess cruise coming up and this was so helpful, Thanks!!!
Hello to you both.
hope you are both good.
We have book a cruise July 2024 with princess
The info you have given on the medallion will be such a great help
i know this may sound strange but your vlogs takes so much stress away from having to know what to do on boarding and the things you have to know on board.
As we now say its great to know before you go
So many thanks for the great info
Hi Shaun 👋 and glad it helps give you an idea of what to expect before you go with princess. It's a brilliant system and we were lucky as it never went down on us all week lol
Brilliant video. Looking forward to our first princess cruise next week.
This is my first cruise. This has been very helpful. I am excited. 🎉
Have a great time, when do you go?
Thanks so much Kev, brilliant video and really informative. Can you go on every cruise line there is now and do the same please 🤣. Love the Princess system
We would love to. Maybe we should do a go fund me so we can make all the cruise line videos lol
This is so helpful! The best explanation of the whole thing I have seen. Thank you!
Thanks, appreciate it 👍
Excellent advice!! Thank you!! 🎉😊
Great help! Thank you 😊
Excellent information, thank you.
The medallion sounds like a good thing to have. My sister is wanting to go on a Princess cruise to Alaska now. She did Mexico years ago with her 14 year old son. Great vlog as always, always happy to see new posts.
Really recommend a Alaska cruise it really was a beautiful place. And yes it's a really good system that Princess have introduced, makes things so much easier on board
I agree! No one does Alaska better than Princess - FACT! Also, my guests love the medallion. It really is brilliant!
Thanks for the positive and informative video. I was very apprehensive when I saw how low the app was rated and the negative comments by Play Store downloads. Also I did not like that the app requires full access to my smartphone's camera and media folders, microphone and Bluetooth -- why?
Really really good information. Really appreciate you going through the features. Helped me a lot 👍🏼
Great video. On our first Princess cruise in October so nice to see all the features before hand. Thank you. ❤
Thanks so much, hope you have a brilliant cruise
Amazing video thanks for sharing
Great video 👍 really well explained and not boring like some of these tutorials can be. Love watching your videos always put a smile on my face. Going on sky princess in September for our first cruise, so excited 😊
Thank you so much, are you going on the 24 night cruise in September?
@@OneCouplesAdventure No unfortunately not, would love to be going on that cruise, we are going the week before that one to france and Spain.
A great video as usual. Your content is always interesting. Missed Stacy though!
Haha thanks 😊 it's Kev that knows all about the app though, I would of just sat there awkward smiling at the camera 🤣
Sweet every cruise line should get on this app it sounds great.
I understand that they no longer assign you a boarding group or specific time. You can get aboard starting 4 hours before the ship is scheduled to leave.
Sailed with Princess years ago, this will be the first time with the medallion (November 2023) and it isn't looking good at all. The downloaded phone app is useless, I can't go past the first screen, and the online version tells me that I have a bad booking number -- yet when I go into my info the booking number is there. .... but it freezes. I had hope to make a dinner reservation or two, but will have to wait until I am on board....and end up eating in the buffet.
Oh gosh! Not having much luck with it. Ours worked fine before we went on The cruise. Hope it's better for you once on the ship
Great video thank you! I've loved all your videos keep up the good work 👍
Thanks so much Tony
Well done on the Princess content. As ever sport on. Princess for me, the median when it is working redeems otherwise poor carnival experiences (don’t get me started on Cunard). But I do like Princess. Also I’m planning Argentina Patagonia feb 2025 with Holland America. I’m
Holding off booking hoping it drops in price, think it might appeal to you both. (What level of blindness KEV- I’m partially sighted. Happy to talk with you of the definitions anytime as long as it’s on a ship. Xx)
Thanks so much, and yes it's interesting about all the different definitions and the things that they can put in place to support it.
Enjoyed all this wonderful information, will be on the Princess Enchanted ship in 2 months.
My question is does the Process App have “Ship time”? I understand “Ship time “can be different than local port time.
The app does show ship time but it was the same as the local time for us
Thanks Kev, ALL your videos are excellent! We have our first cruise on Sky Princess in a few days and this video has been a massive help- thanks. One small question ….. in the room we keep the electric on for charging phones etc using a card in the slot, so what happens with the medallion??
Thanks. The electricity always seemed to be on in the room, so no need to do anything with the medallion.
Will definitely give Princess a try. Think Arvia is our next cruise in 2024. Back to Florida October to Saratoga springs next. Thanks for the advice 😊
Arrrr brilliant we would love to go back to Orlando at some point
Hi love your RUclips channel we my husband & I are going on our first princess cruise I have watched this video regarding the Medallion App just wanted to ask if you are standard passenger do you have to pay for Ocean Now?
Hi, it has recently changed so I'm not 100% sure but I thinks there is a $15 per person fee for ocean now. Not sure if you have to pay if you have different drinks packages
Trying to get the Port Guides you mentioned, but it just keeps telling me :" Connect to MedallionNet on board to download port guide". Any tips for us? We'd like to get an idea about the ports before booking excursions. Thank much.
If you can't get it to load on the app then they tell you most of the information about the ports on the princess website, if you just Google princess cruises port guide, then the port you want, it will take you to the page you're after
Wow this app looks so good, but i don't think i could stop myself from ordering whole pizzas delivered to me😅
It is hard to stop yourself from ordering it all lol
I had a question about the app and maybe you could answer it. Currently on my phone the user profile shows me. But on my wife’s phone for some reason the user profile also shows me, and not her. Any idea how to change that? She has alergies and wants to select them from her profile and not mine.
We cruised last summer using the old app so still familiarizing ourselves with the new app.
Was able to figure it out. Had to sign out then sign back in using booking number.
Great videos. My girlfriend and I are booked on the Discovery Princess to Alaska in Sept 2024.
My question is, is the app you are referring too just the Princess app or is there a special Medallion app to go with the Medallion?
Hi, its the princess medallionclass app. We hope you have a great time
Do both myself &my wife have to download app or just one of us. My wife does not have a smartphone
Hi not you can just do it on yours 👍
Thanks for a very informative video... Q: the Find my Shipmates on the App, can this be easily 'blocked' during the voyage? (if I am in the Casino, again...and don't want the hubs to know that I am gambling again, just hit a Off button...then back on? Also, just curious as to why, if you are in a restaurant (Salty Dog),...why you would use the Ocean Now Food Delivery service...if you are already in a restaurant? and...can we use our own laundry detergent strips in the laundry machines? Or do we have to use the laundry soap provided?
Yes if i remember correctly you can turn the location on and off so you should be ok in the casino lol
As for the salty dog restaurant, its in the atrium and in the day its not open but you can sit in there so thats why you can get stuff delivered.
And yes you can use your own detergent and dryer sheets if you want
Hi sorry another qurstion first timers on Princess cruise how do we get the Medallion app for my husband as it comes up with my name on it when he opened it not his?
Can you help?
Do you have different passenger numbers? I can't remember how we did it, it was a year ago when we boarded. It might change once you check in and are able to book shows/dining etc. If not guest services will sort you out once on board
Do you need to have your passport every time you get off and on or only when you get back to the us if you have this?
It will tell you on your daily cruise planner which ports require you to take I.D/ a passport
Good video. Have you got the link to the airtag wrist straps you brought?
Hi yes the video got released a day earlier than we thought it was going out so have just taken the video down a few mins as we add some details in the description. Will get it linked for you now 👍
Thanks for the link. I have seen these before but was put off by the description which said they were for kids. I think you are saying they fitted you no problem?
@pgriff44 yes we had no problem with them, im a big(ish) guy and they fit me fine
@pgriff44 if you get the Princess Premier package, you'll get a free Medallion accessory when you get on board in the shop!
I have got the medallion app on my phone
But it don't show any of the things you talked about. What am l doing wronge.
Also thanks for so much information because l want eat when l want and go to eat where l fancy on the day. Is there anyway l can check l had done everything to board ship
You can't see everything available on the app until you board the ship
How about if you do not have a smart phone or do not use one?
There is always a paper copy of the daily schedule left for each day, or there are touch screens to use too
When do you get the QR code and if the app is on 2 iPhones do you use different sign in.
you get the QR code a week or 2ish before you board, make sure you have filled in all you info and are in the green lane so its quicker for you. yes you both sign up using 2 different emails and the same booking number/ref. this way you can use the chat, find people & other features
Does each passenger have to have the medallionclass app?
No just one person needs it to order drinks, look at whats happening on the ship etc
Never used an app before, and husband has no phone and is partially sighted and has serious mobility problems. Now I am terrified to go on the cruise I was looking forward too. We like to sit at the same table group at the same time each evening so how will I do that? Also the shows, how will I be sure to find seats with easy access on the level? Why can't things be left as they are we have managed 20 or more cruises quite happily so why do we need phones/apps to tell us what to do . I won't be booking with Princess again if this is how they treat people .
Said in the video that if you aren't tech savvy or have a phone there is a paper copy available of everything happening on the ship or there are crew members there to assist people
What size is the silicone band to put the medallion
Hey these were just an Adult one size fits all. They you just adjust accordingly
If you have the Princess Premier package, then you will get a Medallion accessory free from the shop on board!
the app is horrible. Off-ship, its laggy, unresponsive and freezes. Hope its different once on board
Oh right I mean we didn't have any issues before or during the cruise. Hopefully it's better for you on the ship
Unresponsive App 😢
That's a shame. We didn't have any issues worked fine all week 👍
Amazing video thanks for sharing
