Princess Cruises has introduced MedallionNet Max, an advanced onboard Wi-Fi service designed to cater to the needs of digitally connected travelers, according to a press release.
Princess will now offer two tiers of Wi-Fi service: MedallionNet Classic and MedallionNet Max. MedallionNet Classic will continue to provide the same performance, reliability, and global coverage that Princess guests currently enjoy. MedallionNet Max will be the top-tier service, offering prioritized access to the highest quality and performance bandwidth available worldwide, typically through Starlink.
MedallionNet Max will be exclusively available in Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages. These bundles are designed to provide guests with maximum experience and value.
A la carte pricing for MedallionNet Classic remains $24.99 per day for a single-device plan and $44.99 per day for a multi-device plan. Aligning with Princess Cruises’ commitment to personalized and hassle-free service, guests will not need to take any additional steps onboard to access the different services.
“Just like we did when we launched MedallionNet Classic almost seven years ago, Princess continues to ensure guests have access to the highest performing connectivity available at industry-leading value,” said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises. “By including MedallionNet Max in our incredible bundles we are guaranteeing the best possible onboard experience with the best value anywhere in the world as our guests explore over 330 destinations via our world-class globally deployed fleet.”
The appropriate service level will be assigned to each guest based on their package, as indicated in the Princess app. To showcase the new service tier, Princess Cruises will host the first-ever land/sea custom UGC competition, leveraging a custom Minecraft world—Princess Cruises Nautical Quest.
On August 7, 32 of the world’s most popular UGC players will compete, with eight gamers—Shubble, Krinios, Fruitberries, vGumiho, Sneegsnag, JimmyHere, Smajor, and Hannahxxrose—playing aboard the Enchanted Princess in the Caribbean against 24 others playing from home, while millions of fans watch online.
