Hoopster95 Posted August 27, 2014 #101 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Oh good. Another thread complaining about things that no one has experienced yet. Here's how these go: "Grrrr!!! Change bad!!! Me no like anything different! Grrr!!! RCI greedy! Grrr! No like change!!!!" Yeah, we get it. Quantum and everything about it sucks. In fact, the entire company is completely imploding before our eyes.... By far and away the best post of the year! ROFLMAO!! :D:D:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopster95 Posted August 27, 2014 #102 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The wristband is OPTIONAL Bwahahahahahaha!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D p.s. Bob, I didn't think I could respect you anymore than I already do for the contributions you make to this forum, but wow... this was the best! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted August 27, 2014 #103 Share Posted August 27, 2014 What really bothers me is having to wear this ugly big blue thing on my wrist, I don't want to see that on myself each and every minute, this is my issue its not the tracking really because honestly, for children I think its a great idea but for adults to me its childish wearing this plastic contraction around my wrist, I want the sea pass. :) My wife loves the idea. Now she can go out and get a whole new wardrobe all in blue to be color coordinated. Since she is married to the cheapest person on the earth she doesn't have to worry about all her gold and diamonds clashing. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMediaman Posted August 27, 2014 #104 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It won't be long before someone gets all in a knot thinking someone else is going to have an RFID scanner and hack the bracelets charging drinks and shore excursions. Then again it won't be long after that when someone else sells the "brace-o-block" RFID bracelet cover that shields your RCI bracelet from illegal scanning. Which will make the whole concept kind of useless don't you think? I say this while wrapping tin foil around my head. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted August 27, 2014 #106 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Welcome to the alternate universe - one which can only exist in the developed world. One in which people worry about things that have yet to happen - even with facts available contradicting their worry. One in which alternatives to alleviate their worry are readily available (one does NOT have to wear the bands on the wrist). Cruise Critic, the only place where unfounded worries, create a multipage thread which sucks folks off the sidelines and pads everyone's post count.

Autaven Posted August 27, 2014 #107 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Quantum will be our first cruise and I literally could not care less about whether it's a card or a band. If it's a card, it'll be in my bag - if it's a band, it'll probably also be in my bag. I'm pretty sure my entire honeymoon is not going to be wrecked by a blue bracelet.

jennywren46 Posted August 27, 2014 #108 Share Posted August 27, 2014 this is so funny , people getting worried about the things that haven't happened yet.

poncho1973 Posted August 27, 2014 #111 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Sounds like you two have been hitting the booze. From reading this thread... they aren't the only ones. You know when a drunk person says the same thing over and over and over and doesn't comprehend when the sober people are patiently explaining to them what really is going on? That's what this thread has felt like since your opening statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted August 27, 2014 #112 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) The wristband is OPTIONAL Like, like and like. You need a hammer to drive your point home Bob. If it ever becomes mandatory, the other option is don't cruise RCL. Since the band is only an option, and you can still use your card why is there so much disdain (asked rhetorically). This band could become more divisional than a smoking, dress code, or booze smuggling thread. Edited August 27, 2014 by A&L_Ont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time4u2go Posted August 27, 2014 #114 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Cruise Junky you didn't get my point...my point is that the alcohol program started out on one ship then it went to the others, what I am saying is these bracelets will be doing the same starting out on the quantum and will be on other ships or all their ships down the road. I only hope we have the choice to choose it or not just like we have the choice to choose a drink package or not, by the way, I am so pleased that cruise lines have given us the drink packages, but wearing this device I never be pleased about. I thought you were done with this thread. At least that's what you said in a previous post. Edited August 27, 2014 by time4u2go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUISEBOY305 Posted August 27, 2014 #117 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Absolutely not! It must be worn on the wrist and visible against the orange jumpsuits we'll all be required to wear while inside our cells...I mean staterooms. This post, and some of the replies is the funniest I've seen since joining a few months ago. jayblue RCCL cruiser best response ever. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr4mjc Posted August 27, 2014 #118 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't care at all about the wristband, the technology, the dynamic dining. They are okay with me. DH will finally stop misplacing his sea pass card. But until Quantum has a better itinerary, I won't be on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF_Knight Posted August 27, 2014 #119 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I can't believe these things are going to be mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianDecker Posted August 27, 2014 #120 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Where is it written that wristbands are mandatory ? All I have seen so far reads to me as optional. Wristbands are also e.g. used recently by Disney in their Orlando amusement parks to replace - as an option - the tickets and to be used for their new fastpass plus system, may be used to pay etc.. So RCCL is up to speed also here with the latest and best. I am WOWed about all the new, recently announced options (options are optional :cool:) and this wipes many of my doubts about if Quantum is 'worth' going for me. So I'm now no longer doubting if I shall go or not. I'm more waiting for the prices to come down and/or till Q3's routes are announced. Oh and for all that don't like Quantum - PLEASE don't go as this lowers the booking rate of the ship and brings prices down ... :p Edited August 27, 2014 by ChristianDecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Junky Posted August 27, 2014 #121 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Where is it written that wristbands are mandatory ? Somewhere in a galaxy, far far away it is mandatory in someone's imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF_Knight Posted August 27, 2014 #122 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Somewhere in a galaxy, far far away it is mandatory in someone's imagination. If you believe in the multiverse theory, there must be some alternate universe out there which contains mandatory WOWbands to be worn 24 hours per day all year long (even when not cruising) and robot bartenders taking the place of humans behind every bar in the world.

Lloyd555 Posted August 27, 2014 #125 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Of course not. I want mine to be silver, gold, and/or platinum! That way we can all flaunt our status with just a flick of the wrist. Flaunting of status?! Nobody does that! Never! :D Edited August 27, 2014 by Lloyd555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
