Cruise company Carnival Corporation to up their tourist convenience game by introducing the Ocean Medallion. The company's newest technology is said to bring the ease of similar popular services only present with high-profile mobile smart devices.
The Ocean Medallion technology, as reported by Travel Pulse, is the Carnival Corporation's newest technology in providing unparalleled tourist convenience. In the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017 event, the tiny medallion with the biggest mobile technologies have been revealed by Carnival Corporation CEO, Arnold Donald.
It is a tiny wearable device that is tailored for tourists, both first timers and those who have always been arranging their vacation schedules. The device aims to streamline almost every step of arranging the trip, checking in, food orders and even some highly-interactive games.
The device is also expected to even work as an interaction device between passengers and crew. This potentially makes communication faster and clearer, while saving time for both tourists and crews alike. All the tourists' information and preferences are instantly accessible once aboard the ship and this is accessible within the crews' network.
"With this interactive technology platform, we are poised to have our global cruise line brands at the vanguard of forever changing the guest experience paradigm - not just in the cruise industry but in the larger vacation market and potentially other industries," said Donald stated in his keynote back in Jan. 5 at the CES 2017 event.
As indicated by Skift, the Ocean Mediallion's technology can also be a good addition to the growing Smart Airport technology of the future. Getting the same on-site internet of things feature means less hassle and extremely convenient way of handling tourists.
Still, the Ocean Mediallion is expected to be coming around Nov. 2017 for the Regal Princess and 2018 for the Royal Princes and Caribbean Princess for the Princess Cruises. Carnival Corporation will make additional announcements for the other lines later within this year.
