All aboard the Sky Princess with the Princess cruise line. A part of the Carnival Cruise line the Princess Cruise has a more upscale feel compared to her sister Carnival who has a more party feel. I was intrigued after I watched a YouTube video for the cruise line. One of my favorite features has to be the Ocean Medallion. Not sure if all the cruise lines plan to add this to their new ships or may be even existing ships but if not they should! This chip is a GPS tracker, a hotel key, your 'key' to get back on board after your time at the ports its really cool. It basically has turned the whole cruise ship into a smart ship. The Cruise Medallion can tell your state room when you are close to the room and your room automatically unlocks! That is just awesome to me! So many times I have gone back to my room on cruises with my hands full and needed a third hand to place the key on the door or in the door for it to unlock but this medallion gets rid of that! There are also times I can recall being on a ship especially a bigger ship and I want some pizza or something to drink but I am on the other side of the ship and it may take 10 minutes to get there and another 10 minutes to get back. Often times this is inconvenient because you might be waiting for a show to start, trying to meet up with friends, or maybe you just really only want to relax while on vacation! Well with this cruise medallion and your Ocean Now app you can order food anywhere on the ship! This medallion allows the staff to know who you are and where you are at all times so you can order food on the app and relax. The ship also has hot tubs that give you an amazing view of the ocean and they offer movies under the stars. So you can relax in the hot tub with that famous cruise froyo or your favorite movie snack your drink of choice and enjoy this unique experience. I think the coolest part about this ship however is the ability to rent the sky suite! The sky suite is honestly one of the biggest rooms I have seen on a ship. The bathrooms are massive for a ship bathroom, there is a living room, a huge deck area that wraps around for you to see the movie screen without even leaving your room. There is also a television with lounging on the opposite side of your balcony equipped with a telescope for a perfect view of the clear night sky. If you are willing to dish out the dough I would def opt for getting this room. Best part? You get to choose the movie the ship watches! Pretty cool right? Check it out to see if this could be your next vacation.
