Ocean Medallion Update

Ocean Medallion is touted to be a system that will take Carnival Cruise lines family of vessels to a higher level of customer service by allowing nearly instant communication

At the outset, the Regal, Royal, Caribbean, and Island were to be the first ships to get the upgrade.  Due to technical delays, the rollout is being staged and is a slow process.  The Regal is the first ship to use the technology but it is limited to only select cabins within the Muster Station B area it would seem (cabins listed below).  Prince has only advertised voyages on the Regal as having the OM technology, so the activation status on the Royal, Caribbean, and Island is likely delayed until the Regal issues can be resolved.  Other than that, we know that the Golden, Ruby and Star are scheduled to get it.
