Everyone is familiar with the story of Aladdin and his magic lamp. According to the story, when Aladdin came across a gin, his three wishes were granted. And how we all wished we had a magic lamp as well. As a result, some of our desires may have been granted. Unfortunately, this is not realistic in the real world. But what if I told you that all of this is now possible, and that it all can be done while cruising? It doesn’t sound real, but that’s good because, with the introduction of the Princess Medallion, Princess Cruises has heightened the elegance, discovery, and adventure that have long been associated with cruise travel. However, what is Princess MedallionClass and how does it work and how can you utilize it to improve your cruise vacation at your apartment?
The Princess Medallion is a compact, elegant, and beautiful wearable device—roughly the size of a coin—that serves as your personal key to an enhanced cruise experience. It is included in Princess Cruises’ elite MedallionClass package. The Medallion is intended to provide a seamless, frictionless, and extremely personalized experience, transforming your cruise into much more than just a vacation.
Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned seafarer, the Princess Medallion offers access to a world of convenience and luxury, complete with amenities tailored to your every need. International visitors can collect their Medallion device at the port. This quarter-sized device can be worn in various different ways. Carry it on your complementary lanyard or buy extra accessories to use it as a bracelet, necklace, or clip. Use your Medallion Wearable to enjoy:
· Quicker boarding
· Whatever you require, delivered
· Finding relatives and friends on board
· Putting events in bookmarks
· Simple access to the stateroom
· Family-friendly games
· The best wireless internet at sea
· Discovering your way around the ship
The Princess Medallion works by combining geolocation technology, contactless interactions, and an integrated app. This is how it works.
Geo location: The Medallion uses Bluetooth and sensors located throughout the ship to track you as you walk around. It functions similarly to a GPS on your cruise ship, allowing the staff to give real-time services based on your location. For example, if you’re thirsty at the pool, you may ask for a drink, and the crew will know where to deliver it.
MedallionClass App: The app allows you to customize your experience, make requests, check your itinerary, and access a wide range of services.
Personalization : The Medallion will learn your preferences over time. It can remember your favorite drinks and meals, as well as recommend activities based on your interests, making your cruise feel tailor-made for you.
After you’ve booked your cruise holiday, we recommend downloading the Princess® Cruises App to your mobile device. While you will not need to rely on your mobile devices during your holiday, the Princess® Cruises App does provide tools that can help you enjoy your time onboard. Many of these digital experiences can also be accessed via the ship’s portals (digital touch screens) or cabin television. This includes:
OceanNow – No matter where you are on board, order tasty meals and cool drinks to avoid the lines. Our employees can locate you with the use of your Medallion device and provide drinks, snacks, or other services at any time or location, even in your stateroom TV or the mini-portals in the public around the ship.
OceanReady – Avoid the lineups by ordering delicious meals and refreshing drinks wherever you are on board. Using your Medallion device, our staff can find you and offer beverages, snacks, and other amenities whenever and wherever you need them.
JourneyView – View every onboard event that will happen during your trip via one of the ship portals or the Princess® Cruises App on a smartphone, then bookmark the things you want to do to make your own customized schedule.
OceanView – Your favorite TV series and films are always accessible when you visit distant places and encounter various cultures.
OceanCompass – You won’t ever need to be concerned about losing yourself or your loved ones while on board. To make it easier to find and message your trip partners, add them to the app. To ensure that you never miss a meal, you can also follow detailed instructions to help you go from your stateroom to the dining area.
The Princess Medallion is currently accessible on the majority of Princess Cruises’ ships, including prominent boats such as the Coral Princess, Diamond Princess, Emerald Princess, Grand Princess, Island Princess, Majestic Princess, and Sapphire Princess will return as MedallionClass ships along with the new Enchanted Princess. As more ships have MedallionClass, it’s worth seeing if your particular ship has this technology if you’re thinking of taking a trip.
In addition to MedallionClass Digital Experiences, you can participate in live activities such as the Sail Away Celebration and Fortuna Luck, which bring Ocean® Casino games to life throughout the ship. Alternatively, during the Good Spirits at Sea Experience, you can learn from our onboard mixologist while sipping on innovative drinks. The Princess Medallion elevates cruising, combining cutting-edge technology with great guest service to provide a truly royal experience. From the minute you board the ship until you exit, the Medallion provides a smooth, seamless, and personalized experience. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned cruiser, the Princess Medallion assures a vacation personalized to your specific needs, tastes, and wishes. So, the next time you sail on a Princess Cruise, remember to wear your Princess Medallion—you’ll be surprised at how easy and pleasurable cruising can be.
