The Medallion that will give Delboy a run for his money….

If I said to you on your next Princess cruise you would be wearing a medallion you would probably think that i’ve gone mad. Fear not we haven’t time warped back to the 70’s or organised a fancy dress themed cruise but it’s the latest and most up and coming piece of technology to hit the seas.

Princess have designed the Ocean medallion class and this will be a small medallion type wrist band that you wear ,  like a watch and will hold all your unique digital details that communicates back to readers throughout the ship and in port. It will let crew know who you are and give you the best possible service to suit your needs.

So for example if you have put down an interest in snorkeling you may be informed of a shore excursion that would suit you.

In addition to this you can also make payments , unlock your stateroom , speed up embarkation and much more.

This is perfect for those of you that like myself may be on board less then five minutes when you seem to have misplaced your key card or left it in your cabin. Simply use your medallion and this will be with you wherever you go and can be used stress free.

The benefits outlined are below :

Ocean Ready™ The Ocean Medallion will speed up embarkation as travel documentation will be added to the guest profile in advance along with other preferences provided by guests ahead of time.

The Ocean Medallion will also unlock the guests’ stateroom door — replacing the key card and its sign & sail function. Ocean Navigate helps you find your way, so you’ll never be lost. Accessed through the Ocean Compass guests can know the whereabouts of their family as they enjoy activities throughout the ship. Friends and family will also be able to easily communicate with each other through an instant messenger service available on Ocean Compass.

HERE & NOW™ allows you to place food and beverage orders and have them delivered to your current location. For example, by using the Ocean Compass, you can order select food and drinks from a lounge chair so not to miss a moment of Movies Under The Stars®. Or parents can order their kids hot chocolate while Stargazing with Discovery at SEA™ on the top deck, not interrupting any of the fun.

THERE & THEN™ lets you place a beverage order and have it delivered to where you plan to be at a designated time. For example, if you want to enjoy a glass of wine at the theater can place an order prior to the show and it will be delivered to your seat

All this will make it so much easier to enjoy the holiday and get the most out of your time on board. It will make your holiday so much more personalised and make you feel you’re the number one passenger on board with everything handled effortlessly and efficiently.

The first sailing for this to be rolled out on will be the Regal Princess 13^th November 2017 departure and don’t worry no flares and Afro required just your sleek , stylish medallion to guide you on your way.
