TUI Cruises, the German premium market line, says it has expanded the use of its Meine Reise online portal so that passengers now can book services also when on their cruise, while online messaging and phone calls are on the pipeline
Until now, the portal has only allowed the booking of e.g. spa treatments, tables at specialty restaurants or shore excursions up to four months before the passenger has boarded the ship.
"It will work quite comfortably on your computer, smart phone or tablet over the shipboard network and it's free," said Mike Schwanke, Director of Marketing at the Hamburg based company, referring to the new on board use option of the portal.
The latest expansion of the portal also means that passengers can check their on board account balance online. In the future, TUI Cruises plans to introduce telephone call and messaging service over the platform, it said in a statement.
