Looks like some ex-Disney execs are setting up a magicband-like system for Carnival. Interesting...

Royal Caribbean already had such devices. They are called wow bands.

Most definitely not new tech. It existed in the ski business as early as the late 90's.

Now if only Disney itself would crank up the use for its MB's similar to what Carnival proposes.

They do use them for the kids clubs don't they?

Yes, on board ship they do Ryan. A small part of what they could do with this all over the ship. And then, expand this to the theme parks and resorts.

True I'm surprised they haven't expanded the use on the ships. Maybe they'll do it with the new ships.
