Princess Cruises’ OceanMedallion has Cruisers Saying “Shell Yeah!”

Cruise Planners’ very own Theresa Scalzitti, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, hopped on board Princess Cruises’ Caribbean Princess with her family for a seven-day voyage around the Caribbean. Keep reading for Theresa’s take on this extraordinary ship.

Navigating An Enhanced Ship

The Caribbean Princess boasts multimillion-dollar luxury enhancements and renovations, as well as an array of new amenities after a 2017 refurbishment. Not to mention, a faster embarkation process is set in place to virtually do away with the stresses of boarding. And in an effort to keep making waves, this ship will be incorporating an interactive, top-deck family splash zone called “The Reef.”

The Caribbean Princess is the first MedallionClass™ ship in the Princess fleet – so what does this mean for guests? Cruise Planners has the latest on how the innovative OceanMedallion™ has transformed this ship.

The Wearable Works Wonders

The most prominent change to the Caribbean Princess is undoubtedly the addition of the OceanMedallion, a wearable technology that gives you access to just about everything you need to make your onboard adventure unforgettable. Rather than having to wait in an excessively long line to pick the wearable up, guests can choose to receive their OceanMedallion in the mail for no extra charge.

From keyless cabin access to a virtual payment system and more, the cutting-edge technological features of the OceanMedallion are sure to create an even more spectacular vacation for anyone. 

Stay Connected On Board

As part of Princess Cruises MedallionClass experience, guests can enjoy the best Wi-Fi at sea with MedallionNet™. Offering land-like connectivity, you can access the internet anywhere on board – this means you are free to text, post photos, video chat and stream your favorite shows and movies. Starting as low as $9.99 per day, MedallionNet’s fast, reliable and affordable connectivity will change the way you think about cruise ship Wi-Fi.

Theresa’s experience with MedallionNet was excellent. She was able to FaceTime with friends back at home and her kids were able to stream and play video games from their devices without any interruption.

Drinks On Demand 

OceanNow™, a free, downloadable app for personalized guest service, lets you order food and drinks from your mobile device or tablet. There’s no need to wait at the bar as the OceanMedallion tells crew members your precise location and directs them to you so you can kick back and relax while you wait for your piña colada to arrive. 

More Notable Features

• OceanReady® – a cruise personalizer to start the check-in process before you leave home, getting you through embarkation quicker
• OceanCompass™ – a personal interactive navigator to get you where you want to go and help locate your friends and family on board
