The popular and innovative Ocean Medallion technology will be added to three more Princess Cruises ships in 2019.

According to CruiseCritic.com, the Royal Princess, Crown Princess and Sky Princess will add the Medallion Class experience, which includes high-speed internet, keyless cabin entry, virtual concierge service and a navigation system.

The Royal Princess will add the Ocean Medallion technology in April and the Crown Princess will receive the upgrade in July. As for the Sky Princess, the innovations will already be installed when the ship makes its debut in October.

Officials from Princess Cruises also revealed to Cruise Critic the Regal Princess has now made the upgrades needed to utilize the Medallion Class features, as it previously was only equipped with MedallionNet internet.

Princess Cruises president Jan Swartz told Cruise Critic:

"Guests are finding their vacations enhanced with Princess Medallion Class on Caribbean Princess as a new and memorable experience, and we're ready to offer these experiences and personalized services to even more of our guests, including everyone who sails with us in the Caribbean in the fall and winter."

"Starting in April, we will continue the expansion to a total of five Princess Medallion Class ships expected this year, as we continue on our path to fleet-wide activation. And we look forward to bringing the experience to new groups for the first time, such as those sailing to visit exciting destinations in Alaska and Mexico."
