The medallion system IS FANTASTIC!
Seriously.
Among many other benefits, get this...
Laying in a lounge chair at maybe 11 at night by the pool watching a “drive in” movie on the big screen with maybe 50 others.
Get a hankering for a drink.
Pull out my phone and order through an easy to understand app.
7 MINUTES LATER, dude shows up with a frozen, frothy Dirty Banana drink.
He tracked my exact location by the medallion I wear as a bracelet, some with necklace, etc.
No room card, no wallet, no money. Nothing else is needed. Just your medallion and, optionally, your phone if you want to place orders.
This was on Princess. But I’m certain it will spread everywhere, because it’s so convenient for guests.
But more importantly for the cruise line, I bet 20 workers could do the same work as 80 without the medallion system.
Crazy cool concept.
