Princess Cruises adds wearable technology to second ship

Regal Princess will be the second ship in the Princess Cruises fleet to offer the Princess Medallion wearable technology.

Guests on the 3,560-passenger vessel will have full access from February 17, 2019, during the ship’s current Caribbean season.

The fully automated gadget has no visible technology, such as an on-off switch, and can be worn as a wristband, pendant, clip or even in a pocket.

It offers a streamlined embarkation and disembarkation process; keyless room access; charging services; and interactive games.

The 3,140-guest Caribbean Princess was the first ship to have full Medallion access.

Tony Roberts, vice president Princess Cruises UK and Europe, said: “We’ve received excellent feedback from guests and crew members who have experienced the Medallion on Caribbean Princess as we continue on our path to fleet-wide activation.

“The more personalised service we are now able to provide is benefiting guests from the moment they step foot onboard.

“The Medallion enhances so much of what we offer, from speedy embarkation, to staying in touch with friends and family, to finding your way across the ship, to ordering drinks.”

The Medallion was unveiled in 2017 and will be introduced to other ships as part of a phased fleet-wide activation plan.
