​Princess Cruises Announces Expansion Of Medallion-Activated Ships

22/1/2019

1 Comment

 
Princess Cruises has announced that three more ships in its fleet – Royal Princess, Crown Princess and Sky Princess – are to be fully Princess Medallion-activated; meaning a total of five ships in the fleet will now feature the award-winning technology.

The Medallion will be available on the 3,080-guest Crown Princess in July 2019, sailing from Southampton around the British Isles. The 3,560-passenger Royal Princess will also benefit from the technology from April as she departs for her first ever cruise season in Alaska.

The brand new 3,660-passenger Sky Princess, which joins launches in October, will be Medallion-ready when she embarks on her maiden season in the Mediterranean before heading to the Caribbean. This means all Princess Cruises’ Caribbean-based cruise ships will have full Medallion services from Autumn 2019.

The state-of-the-art Medallion, which is the same size as a 10p piece, is fully-automated and has no visible technology such as an on-off switch or charging function. Features include:
  • A streamlined embarkation and disembarkation process, giving quicker and easier access to the ship
  • Keyless stateroom access
  • Enhanced interaction with crew members and other guests, e.g. staff can see guest’s individual food and beverage preferences and offer a more personalised service
  • On demand beverage delivery, whereby guests will be able to order drinks and have them delivered directly throughout the ship and to their stateroom
  • OceanCompass, which provides interactive directions throughout the ship and allows guests to easily locate friends, family and their children
  • Easy payment for merchandise, drinks, shore excursions and other on board services
  • Access for guests to their real-time itinerary via portals throughout the ship, along with events and activities taking place during their cruise
  • Interactive games that can be played on portals across the vessel and the top deck ‘Movies Under The Stars’ screen, including trivia challenges and a ship-wide digital scavenger hunt
  • A selection of casino games including poker, bingo and roulette available via guests’ smart devices and select portal

The three newly-announced ships will join the 3,140-passenger Caribbean Princess and 3,560-passenger Regal Princess, which are already Medallion-enabled.
​
Tony Roberts, Vice President, Princess Cruises UK and Europe, said: “Having recently travelled on Caribbean Princess I can say first-hand that guests are finding their holidays enhanced with Princess Medallion as a new and memorable experience. This will include everyone who sails with us to the Caribbean this autumn and winter. Starting in April, we will continue the expansion to a total of five Princess Medallion ships expected this year, as we continue on our path to fleet-wide activation. We look forward to bringing the experience to new groups for the first time, such as those sailing to destinations in Alaska and Mexico.”
