Ocean Medallion Class
Princess Cruises has introduced technology for personalizing and enhancing your cruise that is revolutionary for the cruise industry. With Ocean Medallion Class, each guest receives a small medallion to carry on the cruise that communicates with readers throughout the ship to let the crew know who you are and to better serve you. You can use the medallion for payments, unlocking your cabin door, and more. Tied in with this medallion, is Ocean Compass, a guide for your cruise that you can access anywhere. Before you even go on your cruise, you can use Ocean Compass to explore the ship and what it has to offer. You can make reservations in advance, and even order drinks in advance to be delivered to you at a certain time and place (so if you reserve a seat at an evening show, you can also have wine delivered at the start of the show without having to wait in line). The goal of the Ocean Compass is to provide everything you need at that moment, like suggestions for activities and directions to them, along with recommendations and reservations for the future. Ocean Medallion Class is making its debut on Regal Princess in November 2017.
Partnership with Celebrity Chef Curtis Stone
Bestselling author and television personality of shows like Food Network’s All-Star Academy and Beach Eats, has designed “Crafted by Curtis” menu items in the main dining rooms of all ships in the fleet.
The Voice of the Ocean
Princess Cruises is partnering with one of the highest rated TV shows worldwide, The Voice, to bring this live event onboard. At the start of the cruise, karaoke tryouts will be held where passengers and crew will select contestants to compete for the Voice of the Ocean trophy. Singers will be assigned a mentor who will meet with them during the cruise to rehearse with the Princess Band and back-up singers in preparation for the live performance on the last night of the cruise. The audience will include three high-profile team coaches, one of whom might even be the Hotel General Manager or the ship’s Captain. Just like the hit TV show, the coaches will listen, but not see the performer, as they decide whether or not to turn their chair to choose the singer to be on their team. Once teams are chosen, coaches will then each pick one finalist. Audience members are in control of the final vote, using special voting remotes.
