Treacher1 Posted November 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I read that WOWbands will now be FREE - no charge. Now, let's do the same with room service!! For those of you that used wow bands - if you bought a drink package OR have 3 drinks per day for Diamond member - could you use the wow band for that or did you need your sea pass cards to get drinks?? Also, read need sea pass card to disembark at ports of call- with all the technology with wow band - would think you could use band for that as well. Those who sailed Quantum please explain how it worked for you - thanks so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted November 15, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2014 You strap it on like a watch and use it the "watch face"' part to do all of the things you would with a Seapass card. It was free on the maiden TA and they come in black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjny Posted November 15, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I am wondering what the range of the RFID chip is. How easy is it for someone to 'hack' into your 'WowBand' and get the codes for your account by just standing next to you? Anyone know if your photo comes up on the terminal when you buy something? This at least would give some measure of security when the gadget is used to buy expensive jewelry or cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted November 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2014 There's no need to hack it - just board early and you can walk into anyone's cabin and simply take their wow band. It doesn't make a diff if it's a wow band or card in terms of security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted November 15, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I saw yellow and blue ones too. They only have a very short range. You have to touch the door lock or the sensor at the register in the shops. BTW "complimentary" is written on the plastic tray where they are fixed onto and which is laying on the bed in the cabin. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpeCerevisi Posted November 15, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Information such as the daily three drinks, C&A coupons, security photo, etc. are stored in the ship's computer system, not on the card itself. The card or band is just a way of accessing the computer account which is why they are equivalent when used. I am curious whether the band has any identifying writing on it as the card does, such as the passenger's name, ship name and sailing date, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
