Small but mighty, the Medallion is around the size of a 10 pence coin and gives you access to unlimited Wi-Fi, easy stateroom entry as well as getting whatever you want delivered to exactly where you are on the ship with OceanNow.

Do you have a bad habit of getting lost onboard cruise ships? We have all been there – but luckily, the MedallionClass app is the most efficient way to navigate your ship to find your way to the most important place of all – the restaurants.

2. Speciality dining onboard Princess

It’s everyone’s favourite part of cruising – the food.

Princess Cruises is known for providing consistently beautiful dishes, with most ships featuring five fine dining options, making it the ultimate cruise line for foodies.

For a glass (or two… or three) of wine, the aptly named Vines is the place to be. Watch in awe as an endless selection of wine becomes available to you to purchase and taste.

There isn’t just wine, you can mix it up with fine Champagne, sparkling wines and regional offerings to take a piece of your Princess experience home with you. What makes it even better is the fact that a crafted selection of gourmet cuisine is served on a complimentary basis alongside any wine purchase.

So, tuck into some tapas and antipasti boards and let the flavours melt on your tongue, complemented by your wine purchase – can we go, please?

Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria is another standout fine dining restaurant reflecting the fine attention to detail that Italians take immense pride in, and for good reason.

Savour a Grana Padano Cheese Fondue and an Italian meats & olives platter for starters before experiencing the flavour explosion that is the roasted lamb tortelloni – careful, don’t dribble on your screen.

You can also dive into the world of pasta with a handmade pasta course and learn treasured family recipes to impress your friends at home.

Late-night film screenings, video game tournaments and sports competitions await, not to mention the Rock the Boat teens-only party where the mocktails will be flowing.

Beyond kids’ clubs and teen entertainment, Princess also brings exciting family favourite TV shows onboard, such as The Voice (of the Ocean), taking this talent show to the sea.
