Augmented reality in cruise ship?

As cruise ships are a pretty isolated environment, I think augmented reality technology could be ideal for cruises. Also the timetables of the cruises are pretty strict. These two factors make it possible to include an 'augmented reality adventure' on a cruise. During certain times of the cruise and in certain locations there could be augmented reality events that can be found using an app in the phone. The events would provide something extra for people of all ages but they wouldn't be of course mandatory.

How can the internet of things be used on a cruise? I think it works the best when people won't actually realise there's machine to machine communication. The technology can simply be used to ensure everything is running smoothly and the passengers don't need to worry about anything.

These two technologies would provide the customers something extra to enjoy during the cruise and also a sense of everything going on as planned. As for storytelling, augmented reality can be a powerful tool to convey messages. However, it can't replace current models as some people won't probably want to use the technology. I would go with traditional ways to offer information like signs and crew members providing all the necessary information.
