The first consumer products to embed NFC technology were powered devices like your phone, watch or fitness tracker. NFC use cases have moved past these initial devices to also work in powerless devices like jewelry, bracelets, and disposable wristbands. Leveraging the concept pioneered by Disney, Carnaval Cruise Lines are now offering NFC-enabled solutions meaning guests can unlock their door, check-in for services, and even charge their account.
