Embarking on a Princess cruise and wondering how to make the most of your time onboard? Look no further! This comprehensive guide, brought to you by travel expert Angie, unveils the power of the Princess Medallion app, your essential companion for a seamless and enjoyable voyage. From the moment you step onto the ship, this intuitive app puts a wealth of information and convenience right at your fingertips.



The first crucial step upon boarding? Ensuring your phone is in airplane mode with your Wi-Fi turned on and connected to Medallionet. Understanding this initial connection is key, as you can access the core functionalities of the Princess app for free via Medallionet, even without purchasing an internet package. This free access unlocks a treasure trove of features designed to enhance your cruise experience.

Navigating the app is a breeze. In the upper right corner, you'll often see "MNet," your gateway to managing your internet if you've opted for a Wi-Fi package (included in the Princess Plus package and Princess Premier package). Clicking here will guide you through the connection process, ensuring you stay connected for emails and other online activities.

The app's homepage is your central hub for vital information. Stay informed about your next port of call, with real-time details and insights, as seen with the example of Mazatlan. Planning your days is made easy with a comprehensive list of upcoming activities happening onboard. From live music and trivia to kids' programming and fitness classes, the schedule ensures you never miss a moment of the fun.

Ready to explore your destinations? The "book shore excursion" feature allows you to browse and reserve exciting shore excursions directly through the app, showcasing real-time availability and streamlining your planning process. Say goodbye to long queues at the shore excursion desk!

Food lovers, rejoice! The "explore dining options" section provides a detailed overview of all the dining options available onboard, clearly indicating whether they are included in your fare or come with an extra charge. Delve into specific dining room information and even preview the evening's menu, allowing you to plan your culinary adventures in advance. Don't worry if the app takes a moment to load – with many users accessing it simultaneously, a slight delay is normal. Remember, the buffet is always a readily available and included option for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Planning ahead? The Princess app even allows you to make dining reservations before you board! Simply connect to your home Wi-Fi (if you've paid in full, are in a suite, or based on your loyalty level – your travel agent can confirm your eligibility). This pre-booking feature ensures you secure a spot at your desired specialty restaurants.

Further down, you'll discover details about the flexible dining room, allowing for reservations, and any walk-in dining less you might have received. Pamper yourself by exploring the spa services (note: appointments require a call to the spa).

Experience the convenience of Ocean Now, Princess's innovative room service program. What makes it unique? You can have items delivered to wherever you are on the ship! Browse the menu and see the delicious offerings. While many items are complimentary, a delivery fee may apply if Ocean Now isn't included in your package. Even with Ocean Now included, some premium items may incur an extra charge. From the popular princess sandwich (a must-try breakfast option!) to burgers and late-night snacks, Ocean Now brings convenience directly to you.

Navigating the vastness of the ship is simplified with the interactive ship map, easily accessible in the middle of the app. Finding your way to specific venues and amenities has never been easier.

Finally, the "planner" is your ultimate organizational tool, bringing together the ship schedule and the incredible crew call chat feature. Need assistance or have a question? Forget waiting in line at guest services! Crew call chat allows you to directly connect with crew members for quick and efficient support.

Unlock the full potential of your Princess cruise with the Medallion app. This powerful tool streamlines everything from onboard navigation and dining to entertainment and guest services, ensuring a smoother, more enjoyable, and truly unforgettable vacation at sea. Download it before you go and get ready to explore!
