Sailing Princess Cruises with the Ocean Medallion

Good morning from the Caribbean Ocean! I’m looking out my balcony doors to sunny skies and perfectly clear blue water as I start this today.

There really isn’t anything else that compares with waking up on a cruise ship.

One of my favorite aspects of my work is partnering with amazing brands like Princess Cruises.

My sister Jenny and I are actually onboard the Caribbean Princess as I write this – and just an FYI the WiFi is incredible!

If you have ever sailed on a cruise ship and tried to use the internet in the past, MedallionNet provides an entirely new level of online access.

There have been a lot of questions from you all this week as we sailed through the Caribbean.

So, instead of waiting until I’m home to answer some of them, I’m taking a minute this morning to chat about how fantastic the Ocean Medallion has been for this cruise.

Each day this week, I’ve shared a peek behind the scenes as we have been using the new Ocean Medallion.

The medallion is a small token (about the size of a quarter) that you can wear in a lanyard, sport band, bracelet, necklace, or clip.

This wearable device replaces the old-fashioned cruise ship room key and grants you access to a whole lot of fun and convenience while onboard the ship.

The token is sent to you along with the easy to use lanyard as soon as you register for your cruise. With the medallion, embarking on the cruise has never been easier.

You literally just walk through security and are onboard the ship. It saved us so much time and the process with 100% hassle-free. I loved it from day one!

Once you’re onboard, you might choose to swap your lanyard for a clip (tied for my personal favorite), a bracelet, a sport band (tied for my favorite), or a necklace.

Like I mentioned earlier, the convenience is amazing.

The medallion links to your smart device and allows you to sit at the pool and order food and drinks, request additional pillows for your room, perhaps even order a bottle of aloe vera with lidocaine after you get a bit too much sun. <- Yeah, that was me on the first night.

Check out how easy it is to order whatever you need from your smart device!

And literally just five minutes later…

Huge thanks to my travel partners in crime, Rebecca with Foodie with Family, Christi with Love from the Oven, and my sister Jenny. Thanks for letting me snap your pictures as we were making the most of our access to Ocean Now all week long.
