Royal Caribbean will roll out RFID WOWbands over several years

Speaking at the CruiseWorld conference, Royal Caribbean President Adam Goldstein indicated the rollout of its new RFID wristbands, known as WOWbands, will take several years before they are available across all of Royal Caribbean's ships.

While the RFID technology behind the WOWbands are fairly simple, the new shipboard property management system that the WOWbands rely on takes much more time to install.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT WOWBANDS

WOWbands will be added ship by ship, although we do not have any indication as of yet which ship will get WOWbands next.
