Carnival cruise line is bringing a little high tech action to the high seas. At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas the company unveiled its One Cruise Experience Access Network or OCEAN. This will let travelers control their entire experience from a personalized smartphone app and quarter sized medallion. OCEAN uses a series of sensors placed throughout the ship that can locate you based on your medallion. The sensors can then activate the lights in your area, control the temperature and open your room door. You can also order drinks and food from the app and it will let the crew know where to deliver. OCEAN also allows passengers to play games and gamble without hitting the casino and you can message fellow passengers to arrange the next party. And if you don’t feel like carrying around your phone, no problem. You will be able to access your OCEAN profile on touch screens that will be positioned all through the ship for easy access and to prevent you from getting lost. Now if only it could cure the occasional bout of sea sickness.High Tech on the High Seas
