Princess has unveiled Dine My Way, a flexible MedallionClass enhancement offering guests a convenient, contactless approach to dining.
Princess Cruises has launched Dine My Way, a MedallionClass feature that 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.
The cruise line says the new app also helps to optimise capacities in dining rooms and restaurants on board, manage wait times and gives guests much more flexibility.
“This is the most significant change Princess has made to its cruise ship dining. We believe guests are going to love the control and customisation 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.”
How would you like to dine?
When making a reservation with Dine My Way, guests will be able to:
- add additional friends or family members with whom they are traveling
- select their preferred pace of dining
- indicate their desired seating location in the Ocean profile
- share dietary preferences and allergen information
- pick the same venue and dining time each night
In addition, Princess’ says its OceanNow on-demand menu has been expanded to include entrees and beverage options from restaurants throughout 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 personalisation options so you can order your perfect coffee drink, select your favorite steak sauce toppings, or pizza condiments providing more customisation than ever.
Is your mouth watering yet?!
“We anticipate that our Australian and New Zealand guests will welcome these new offerings when cruising resumes downunder.’ notes Mario Siebaldi, Princess Cruises Senior Vice President of Guest Experience.
“Our guests who have cruised on Princess ships in the northern hemisphere have always appreciated the convenience of OceanNow, and we think even more guests will embrace the ‘on-demand’ ability to order what they desire and have it delivered to them wherever they are on board.
It not only prevents unnecessary queuing, more importantly it elevates the guest experience.”
