SANTA CLARITA, Calif.,
May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Princess, the world's leading international premium cruise
line, today unveiled Dine My
Way, another flexible MedallionClass enhancement
that makes it easy for guests to pre-plan and tailor their dining
experiences, and pairs with the revolutionary
OceanNow® on demand service to offer the
ultimate in onboard dining flexibility and convenience.
Dine My Way, gives
guests the freedom to make reservations in onboard dining rooms and
specialty restaurants at times they prefer and with whom they wish
to dine. Dine My Way also helps to
optimize capacities in dining rooms and restaurants on board,
manage wait times, and gives guests significantly more
flexibility.
When making a reservation, guests will be able to:
- add additional friends or family members with whom they are
traveling
- select their preferred pace of dining (relaxed, quick)
- indicate their desired seating location (near window, close to
entrance) in the Ocean profile
- share dietary preferences and allergen information
- pick the same venue and dining time each night
"We believe guests are going to love the control and
customization Dine My Way offers," said Jan
Swartz, Princess Cruises president. "Instead of restricting
dining choices during the pandemic, we've been able to expand the
options for our guests and thanks to the unique, innovative
capabilities of the OceanMedallion, reduce wait times and eliminate
the need to stand in line."
In addition, Princess' OceanNow on-demand menu has been expanded
to include entrees and beverage options from restaurants
through-out the ship with guest's requests delivered directly to
their location. OceanNow orders can be made using the
MedallionClass app on a smart device, via the stateroom TV, or by
having a crew member place the order on the guest's behalf.
OceanNow will also include many expanded personalization options
so you can order your perfect coffee drink, select your favorite
steak sauce toppings, or pizza condiments providing more
customization than ever.
"Guests have always appreciated the convenience of OceanNow, and
because the pandemic has expanded people's use of 'on-demand'
direct delivery services, we think even more guests will embrace
the ability to order what they desire and have it delivered to them
wherever they are on board," notes Mario Siebaldi, Princess Cruises
senior vice president of Guest Experience. "It not only prevents
unnecessary queuing, more importantly it elevates the guest
experience."
Princess MedallionClass vacations are enabled by the
award-winning OceanMedallion, a wearable device that pairs with
IoT-driven innovation to significantly enhance and personalize the
guest experience.
In addition to service on demand, Princess MedallionClass
Vacations are also marked by touchless embarkation and
disembarkation, frictionless commerce, and keyless stateroom entry.
Additional contactless capabilities accessible using smart phones
and tablets include way-finding; family and friends locator; and
interactive fun.
