languageartslady Posted May 26, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2012 On HAL ships, what are they called? Your room key? Does it have a fancy name? Also, does anyone have a picture of what they look like? Are there differences for different levels of repeat cruises, like 1 star Mariner, then 2 star, and so forth? Just wondering... Haven't been able to find any pictures but it could be because I don't know exactly what they call them. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momatibm Posted May 26, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2012 The key cards are basically the same for everyone, except for two differences -- if you have a suite your card is 'gold'. Other wise the only difference is the indication of how many 'stars' you have. i e, what level Mariner you are -- it will show if you are a 1, 2, 3 or 4 star Mariner.

Krazy Kruizers Posted May 26, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2012 They are called "ID" cards -- you use them to enter your cabin, you use them to get on and off the ship (scanner used over the bar code which shows your picture), you use it whenever you buy anything on the ship. I don't have my camera handy to take a picture of one. There are 2 colors. Blue for the majority of the passengers. Gold for the passengers staying in the PS, SA, S, SB and SC cabins.

languageartslady Posted May 26, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks, everyone! Laffnvegas, I appreciate the picture. That's exactly what I was hoping for... I googled them, but didn't find any. I am TOO excited... and I have 6 months to go. Oh, well. Last time I booked with 364 days, so this is a GREAT improvement!

bcd2010 Posted May 27, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Here's DS's "non-suite" card (mariner # blacked out) - 2* - note the dining and lifeboat info and that your cabin # isn't on it. These are also commonly referred to as "ship cards" by staff, officers and pax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
languageartslady Posted May 27, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thanks for that picture as well! It's interesting it has your table number on it... I don't think ours from the other lines had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 27, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2012 If you have Open Seating, it won't have a MDR table assignment. It will have dining hours, and directions for booking a table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted May 27, 2012 #10 Share Posted May 27, 2012 On Carnival, they call it a "Sign and Sail" card. On RCI, it's a "Seapass"....I think that's what the OP was asking, as far as "fancy" names go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would calling it a "dam card" be fancy? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
languageartslady Posted May 27, 2012 Author #12 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Haha, dam card! Perfect! I was thinking of the seapass... I wondered what to call it. Thanks, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
