Gourmet Flyer While the Princess Medallion App is the contemporary state-of-the-art version of the onboard activities’ patters, many of us still enjoy holding the paper program in our hands while planning our daily agenda. Not only is it a colorful and comprehensive brochure that you can hold in your hand, but it also contains lots of information that you can’t find on your smartphone. Moreover, the paper opens up to measure 17″ x 11″ and it’s a lot easier to find the day’s events than scrolling through a small screen.
One daily article that I always enjoy reading is the introduction of one of the officers on the ship. Sometimes, these snapshots give us a good insight into the background of someone that we’ll actually see. For example, on this particular journey, we get to learn about the executive chef before seeing him in action at the culinary show in the theater.
The patter also highlights many of the day’s special events and signature entertainments complete with pictures and a brief summary – again, something that you can’t see in the app. Last but not the least, it also lists the opening hours of all the dining venues, bars, lounges, spa, shops, and guest services counters in a very well organized and easy-to-read table. It is a very handy list that one can conveniently refer to throughout the day.
