MedallionClass® service starts with your Medallion®, put on your quarter-sized wearable device and your cruise experience is instantly simplified. Start your experience with Contactless Boarding, download the MedallionClass® app, and get OceanReady® at home, by selecting your arrival window so everyone isn’t trying to board at the same time. Once you are settled onboard, you’ll enjoy keyless entry every time you enter your stateroom.

Enjoy the seas with ease. MedallionClass® service includes simplified safety training (just watch the video in your stateroom), MedallionNet® Wi-Fi available throughout the ship, and dig into your favourite TV, movies, and Ocean Originals on the enhanced video-on-demand system in your stateroom. Keep the whole family entertained, with Family-Friendly games on the app. Looking for adult gaming? Princess MedallionClass® lets you access Ocean® Casino to enjoy wager-based gaming options on board, from sports betting to your favourite casino games.

Have what you need delivered, whenever and wherever you are on board. Simply open the app and use OceanNowTM to get beverages, towels, food, and more delivered right to your location. Once you’ve put your request in, the app will find the nearest available crew member and provide real-time updates as to the status of your delivery. Want to book a dinner reservation or participate in entertainment events on board? Make those reservations easily through the app and check to see availability at any given food or entertainment venue with ease. Create your own custom itinerary so you don’t miss any of the programs you’d like to be a part of.

Don’t worry about carrying around your cash or cards on board, your MedallionPayTM takes care of that. Purchase food, drinks, extra sunscreen, and more, all touchless from the app. Want to monitor your spending? That’s easy too, just access your portfolio on your mobile device.

Expert tip

It's a great idea to book specialty dining, spa treatment and shows etc. prior to cruising, as they can get booked out. You can do that through cruise personaliser prior to sailing.
