Glory cabin safe

Heading out on the Glory next week. 1st time on the Glory!

Anyone who has been on the ship recently, can you tell me if the safe operates with a pushbutton code or via a sliding card.?

Thanks!

Mostly magnetic card. Although 9292 had a keypad safe. Bring an old gift card as chances are that's what you'll have.

We had a card reader in 7233.

Thank you! I guess i better find an old card to use!

My room had a card reader. Just use / get an empty gift card with a magnetic strip.

Is there a reason to not just use a current credit card?

I have a hole punched in my old gift card and keep it on my lanyard with my S&S card. When they used to have the Bibles in the cabins, that would be my hiding spot. I would always use an old one just in case it got demagnetized.

Okay, thanks. I was just curious since a few posts in a row mentioned using old gift cards, etc... I thought I should ask in case there is smart reason to not use current cards. Getting one demagnetized is a pretty good reason. :-)

I suppose it's a small chance, but one nonetheless. Wore out my old Victoria's Secret Gift Card after using it for a couple years for my safes half way through a cruise once. Would kind of be a pain if that happened to a good CC.

There are rare occasions the magnetic strip on your CC made be wiped out.

(And, on the paranoid side, your information about your CC account may be stolen by unscrupulous employees. :o) :confused:

To tell you true, I had an old Sears card that worked for a couple of days, then fail. A call to the front desk, and using a "new" mag card straightened out the situation. Why did the card fail? Nobody knows. I'm just glad it wasn't my CC that failed.

I want to put my credit card in the safe and not have to carry it around / keep it in the room with me simply to unlock the safe.

I cant remember, are S&S cards magnetic or do they use bar or QR codes? If magnetic will they work? I have only sailed the Breeze and had a touch code version. What type do they have on the Freedom?

They can work, but they recommend you not use them in case they get demagnetized. It can be a PITA to have to go to GS to get a new S&S card.

That's a sad ending to a very worthwhile card. :D

Lol! Yeah but I got my use out of it all the way around [emoji6]

Our cabin on glory had a card reader. An old empty prepaid credit card works well for me. Seems to hold up better than gift cards.
