Sail away with high tech on the high seas - TechRepublic

The Carnival Vista is the newest ship in the Carnival Corp. fleet and has the latest tech on board. Ocean cruises are no longer about going off the grid to enjoy leisurely days at sea and on-board entertainment. Cruise ships are installing better Wi-Fi, adding tech-enabled wristbands and luggage tags, and even having robots greet passengers as they board the ship, all in an attempt to create a tech-rich environment. As times have changed and tech becomes a part of everyone's daily lives, passengers have become increasingly interested in staying connected to the outside world and for their lives to continue unabated on the high seas. Passengers also expect more than just a second-run version of a Broadway show--they want the outside world and a lot more.
