Princess Cruises Made 5 MASSIVE Changes. I Test Them Out

Editorial Summary

The creator evaluates five significant changes implemented by Princess Cruises to determine if they improve the passenger experience. He begins by discussing the fleet transition toward larger ships, noting that while smaller vessels were retired, the larger ships maintain familiar layouts and popular facilities. He then examines the Medallion Class technology, which includes the medallion device, a dedicated app, interactive television, onboard screens, and MedallionNet Wi-Fi. While he notes some navigation difficulties with the app's daily program, he finds the touchless cabin access and location-based services convenient. The review moves to the Princess Plus fare, an optional all-inclusive package covering drinks, Wi-Fi, and gratuities, which the creator views as a way to reduce stress and cost. He also covers the Dine My Way program, which replaces traditional fixed dining sittings with a customizable system for selecting times and companions. Finally, he highlights the modernized muster process, which utilizes digital safety videos and station check-ins to avoid ship-wide delays. He concludes that these changes empower passengers by providing more control, efficiency, and streamlined processes throughout the cruise.
