Happy (almost) Summer friends! I hope you’re planning some vacations and have Princess Cruises in mind… you all know my mom and I absolutely LOVED our 7-day Western Caribbean cruise we recently went on! Everything from our excursions, to the food, the stateroom, the service, and the technology aboard Princess Cruises was above and beyond any cruise we’d experienced before (and there’s been a few)! With that being said, today’s blog post is something I’m super passionate about and excited to share with you! I’m talking all about the new Princess Ocean Medallion which is the tiniest (yet best) coin-sized piece of technology that elevated our cruise to a whole other level! Seriously, it’s amazing…just you wait and see…
I’ve shared in detail on Instagram stories and on a few recent. blog posts (here and here), but in case you’re new around here, I want to tell you all about the little blue coin with the Princess Cruise logo you see in all my photos! Essentially, it’s a piece of complimentary technology that every traveler is equipped with prior to setting sail. The little circular medallion is a device that you wear around your wrist or neck (you get to choose how you wear it), where all of your information is inputted like your name, ship, cruise dates, passport info, etc. Once you’re on the ship this little piece of wearable technology (the OceanMedallion it’s called) serves as your room key, your ID card, your credit card, your way to connect with family and friends onboard, and you can even connect with the crew for personalized service. It really is everything all wrapped up into one! Pretty cool huh!?
But wait…that’s not all…
There are so many other incredible benefits of the MedallionClass technology aboard the Princess Cruises, like the apps you see me using above! Before you set sail, I recommend you download all of the MedallionClass apps onto your smart phone so when you’re onboard you’re prepared to cruise! These apps will be used throughout your time onboard the ship, in various different ways. For example, you can set up your excursions through the apps, browse activities onboard, view menus from the restaurants on the ship, and the most imperative (in my opinion) was creating a profile and inputting my credit card and passport information so all I needed at the port to board the ship on Day #1 was my OceanMedallion. Easy peasy!
Another benefit of the apps is being able to locate your shipmates (or friends/family members) that are also aboard the same ship as you! You can find out where they are at all times and will feel content knowing that everyone is safe! In addition, using the apps and the Princess MedallionClass, your food and/or drink order will be delivered right to your pool lounger or wherever you are on the ship! This way you can read and lounge by the pool in the beautiful sunshine and you won’t miss a minute of vacation time!
And just you wait- there’s even MORE benefits to the Princess MedallionClass technology: the new Princess MedallionClass connects you to internet speeds that are the same as if you were on land so you can stream shows, check your email, make phone calls, listen to music, text your friends, and much more! I completed a ton of blog work on this trip and stayed connected with all of YOU on Instagram daily so you could come along on this trip with me! It really is the best wi-fi at sea!
Remember, your OceanMedallion also serves as so much more including your room key, ID card to get on and off the ship, your credit card, and even more! Essentially, this tiny piece of technology plays a HUGE part in creating the most memorable, personalized, seamless, and enjoyable vacation possible!
So what are you waiting for?!? Whether you’ve already made the decision to book a Princess Cruise featuring this new smart technology or you’re thinking of booking one in the future (MedallionClass technology is currently available on the Caribbean Princess, Regal Princess and the Royal Princess). I couldn’t recommend it enough! My mom and I were OceanReady for the most innovative and personalized vacation experience which also opened the doors for a whole new level of service and personalized attention! Thank you Princess Cruises for creating the ultimate enjoyable and seamless vacation around! 10/10 would recommend it to anyone out there even considering a cruise 🙂
A huge thank you to Princess Cruises for partnering with me in today’s blog post! And thank you for supporting all of the brands I love to work with on Torey’s Treasures!
