If you’re thinking of booking a Princess Cruises vacation you may have read about MedallionClass® cruising, but what exactly is this, and what does it mean for your future Princess Cruises voyage? Every single Princess Cruises ship is now MedallionClass enabled, allowing you to make your cruise holiday experience as effortless as possible.
What is a Princess MedallionClass holiday?
A Princess MedallionClass holiday offers the ultimate in effortless, personalised cruising. It all begins with your very own OceanMedallionâ„¢, a wearable device, no bigger than a £2 coin, which enables everything from touch-free boarding to locating your family and friends on the ship. You’ll also be able to order food and drinks and have them delivered to you anywhere you want.
What are some of the features of Princess Cruises MedallionClass?
A Truly Touchless Experience
From contactless boarding to unlocking your stateroom door as you walk up to it, there is no more need to carry your keycard around with you. Your OceanMedallionâ„¢ also enables contactless payment throughout the ship for a truly touchless cruise experience.
OceanNow
Feeling peckish and fancy some freshly made pizza? Want a hot chocolate as you watch Movies Under the Stars®? There’s no need to leave your seat, simply order from the app and have it delivered to your location wherever you are on the ship.
OceanCompass
It can take a couple of days to get your bearings when embarking a new ship, however, thanks to OceanCompassâ„¢ you’ll be able to get step by step navigation as well as being able to locate your friends and family on your smartphone or portals around the ship.
Reinventing the muster drill
No need to queue up in theatres or bars on embarkation day, simply watch the important safety video on your mobile phone or on your stateroom TV then head to your muster station for a quick, contactless check-in before sail away and you’re all done!
Crew Call
Queueing up at guest services is set to be a thing of the past, if you need help or have a query whilst onboard simply use OceanNowâ„¢ on your smartphone or stateroom TV to request assistance and a crew member will locate you to chat and assist with your questions.
JourneyView
Your very own personal planner onboard, JourneyViewâ„¢ allows you to check out all of the ship’s events and activities available during your voyage. Reserve your space or simply bookmark it for later on your interactive timeline.
Stay Connected at Sea
Princess Cruises have promised to provide the best Wi-Fi at sea thanks to MedallionNet® which now lets you access the internet anywhere onboard. You’ll be able to stay in touch with loved ones back home so you can text, video chat, share photos and check email, or if you’re looking to relax in your cabin you can even stream your favourite movies, music videos and sports. You can choose from one-device or four-device packages at low daily rates, or, if you upgrade to Princess Plus Wi-Fi is included in the upgrade along with the Premier Beverage Package and gratuities.Click here to find out more about exactly what’s included with Princess Plus and whether it may be worthwhile upgrading on your next cruise.
Brand New – Dine My Way
Princess Cruises have reimagined the way you dine onboard with Dine My Wayâ„ . Forget having to choose an early or late sitting, now you can dine when, how and where you like. Customise your dining time for each day, whether making reservations for the main dining rooms or speciality restaurants. Or if you prefer a more traditional cruise experience you can still choose to have dinner at the same time every evening with the same waiting staff, it’s completely up to you. Choose your dining pace, dietary preferences, table location, let the crew know who’s in your travel party and much more. Captain’s Circle Platinum and Elite members as well as guests booked in Club Class and Suites will benefit from early access in order to book their preferred dining.
The MedallionClass App
Before you set sail make sure to download the MedallionClass App on your smartphone or tablet. The all-in-one app interacts with your OceanMedallion bringing all the digital experiences we’ve mentioned above to your fingertips. If for whatever reason you don’t have your device to hand there’s no need to panic, you’ll also be able to access all these experiences through your stateroom TV as well as the digital portals around the ship.
Make sure to complete your OceanReady® profile on the app before you embark. That way you’ll be sure to breeze through the terminal and start your holiday sooner with more time to do what you love most on board!
