Is the medallion free on Princess Cruises?

All U.S. guests receive their free Medallion device either in the mail before leaving home or when they arrive at the terminal. International guests can pick up their Medallion device at the port. This quarter-sized device can be worn several ways.



Yes, the OceanMedallion device itself is free for every passenger on a Princess Cruises voyage. This wearable, quarter-sized disc is the key to the "MedallionClass" experience, serving as your room key, your payment method, and your digital ID for boarding. All U.S. guests receive their complimentary medallion in the mail before their trip (if they are "OceanReady" in the app), while international guests can pick theirs up for free at the port. While the device and its basic functions—like keyless entry and touchless payment—are free, certain premium features associated with it may incur a cost. For example, using the "OceanNow" feature to have food or drinks delivered to your exact location on the ship typically involves a one-time activation fee (around $14.99) unless you have purchased an all-inclusive package like Princess Plus or Princess Premier. The standard lanyard provided with the medallion is also free, though the cruise line sells a wide variety of "upgraded" accessories like bracelets, necklaces, and clips.
