Entertainment & Things To Do On Board The Regal Princess + Royal Princess
The Best Wi-Fi at Sea
If you have cruised before, you may be aware that ship based wi-fi often leaves a lot to be desired, but this is not a concern aboard the Regal Princess cruise line. In November 2017 she debuted exclusive and innovative Ocean Medallion technology which allows guests to have a truly personalized and stress free holiday experience.
The medallion is tailored to each guests likes, dislikes and preferences and can even go as far as opening your stateroom door for you as you approach!
A consequence to having this technology on board means that the Wi-Fi system has been totally upgraded offering a mostly seamless web surfing experience. The Royal Princess and Regal Princess also offers free wi-fi for all passengers to use Facebook messenger and Whatsapp. Guests can also purchase additional wi-fi for social network use only, or full scale access for unlimited browsing.
Another fantastic feature – and one that appeals to a much younger audience and makes use of the improved Wi-Fi, is the Princess@Sea Messenger App. Free to download you can plan your cruise through the app, from excursions to room service, see the daily entertainment schedule and dining room menu selections and all for free via the Princess Wifi network. This App is a great move to reducing paper on board as the app would wipe out the need for the daily Princess Patter which is printed and given to each Stateroom everyday.
.
Swimming Pools, Hot Tubs & Jacuzzis
With 4 swimming pools, 8 hot tubs/jacuzzis and hundreds of sunbeds located on the sun-drenched decks of 16 & 17, there is plenty of space to relax, swim and soak. The swimming pools and hot tubs are heated on cold-weather cruises and are a great place to cool off on tropical climate cruises so be sure to hop into a jacuzzi for sail away on at least one night of your cruise.
