Royal Caribbean International, world’s largest cruise liner has introduced a GPS based tag to keep track of kids on board.  This is the first time GPS technology has been used in such fashion. The tagging system has been introduced to keep an eye on 3-11 year old kids on board.

This is no co-incidence that the tagging system comes at the time when Royal Caribbean launched Oasis of the Seas- largest cruise ship of all times. So there is a need to keep track of where your kids are on-board world’s largest liner.

The cruise liner has made it mandatory that every kid between the age group of three to eleven year old must wear the GPS enabled wristband. This will help the parents to know where the kids are on ship’s 16 decks. This also makes ship staff’s task much easier now when they don;t have to run around locating naughty children around the deck.

Oasis of the Seas can carry up to 6,300 passengers and weighs more than 225,000 tons.

This GPS tracking wristband costs $17.50 (£12) to hire for the duration of a cruise. The wristband can only be used on the ship and not for ship to shore calls.
