Creator's Key Takeaways

The Princess Medallion is a total game changer when cruising, but what exactly is it and what does it do?

You just have to walk up. The little light around the doororknob will turn green as you're approaching it and you just walk in. It's beautiful.

You can get food delivered to you or drinks wherever you are on the ship. And it's so cool because they know where you are based off of the GPS tracker in your medallion.

The medallion on the other hand is fantastic because we never take those off ever um other than to sleep.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Order your medallion in advance if you're in the US or Canada to use the green lane for faster boarding.
Use the free lanyard or purchase wristbands for easier access.
If you're not comfortable with GPS, you can turn it off or request a CPASS card.
Consider the Plus or Premier package for included food delivery.
