Port and Shopping Program
- Clients participating in the Recommended and Guaranteed Port Shopping Program appear on exclusive in-cabin port shopping maps on all Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess and Disney cruise ships. The map, a guide to the ship's port of call, is placed into each cabin the day before arriving in a port, and it is handed out to each passenger individually on the gangway as they leave the ship to visit the port.
- Program participants receive a verbal promotion from a Shopping Guide during a live shopping lecture on board each ship. The lecture is then broadcast 24 hours a day on a dedicated shopping channel on most ship televisions.
- Program participants are given the opportunity to appear in a booklet of discounts exclusively offered to cruise ship guests: the Port and Shopping Essentials (offered on Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruise Lines and Disney Cruise Lines).
- All purchases made at participating stores are backed by a 30-day guarantee. Onboard Media provides a Customer Relations team to support this guarantee, in effect acting as an outsourced customer-service center for each client.
- Program participants receive individual referrals and sales assistance from Shopping Guides when a ship is in port.
- The Onboard Media Port Shopping Programs department provides one-on-one marketing and sales consultations to program participants
