Sky Princess Getting Rave Reviews
The newest member of Princess Cruises’ royal fleet took its first round of guests for a cruise earlier this week and the reviews coming in have been rave. Sky Princess set sail from Athens for a cruise around the Mediterranean and became the first Princess MedallionClass vessel in service for the cruise line. The ship will continue sailing the Mediterranean until December 1st when it debuts in Fort Lauderdale, FL for cruises to the Caribbean. The 145,000 ton ship holds 3,660 passengers and has a number of technological features enhancing the modern cruise experience.
MedallionClass Ships
Princess Cruises changed the cruising game forever a few years ago when they introduced OceanMedallion for guests. The wearable tech allowed for easier access for guests all over the ship. Some of the best perks of the Medallion are:
- Faster boarding
- Food and beverage orders to anywhere on the ship
- Find your friends
- Keyless room entry
- Interactive games and information
Following the delivery of the ship from Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, cruise line President Jan Swartz explained the ship’s impact on the industry.
“We wish to extend our sincere gratitude to our long-time shipbuilding partner Fincantieri who delivered Sky Princess to us today,” said Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises. “As our new flagship in the fleet, Sky Princess represents the absolute best Princess Cruises has to offer our guests by connecting them with what matters most, unique destinations, loved ones, and new friends, while enjoying all the state-of the-art experiences in comfort and style.”
