BBMacLaird Posted October 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Effective 10/18/2016, we will no longer allow Samsung Galaxy Note 7 cell phones onboard our ships. This decision was made in light of recent incidents and safety concerns raised by Samsung about this particular device, as well as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recent ban of the phone from all airplanes. We ask that guests who own a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 not bring the device on your cruise. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, and looking forward to welcoming you aboard. This notice is being communicated to all booked guests via TA or directly. It is also prominently displayed as a pop-up box on the home page of our website. https://www.azamaraclubcruises.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may sound extreme, but I hope AZ will be scanning pax at embarkation (as is happening now at airport security checkpoints) to ensure these hazardous Samsung cellphones don't find their way on board. As an indication of the magnitude of the issue, this was reported on ABC 7 in San Francisco this week: Samsung representatives are standing by at SFO in case people bring their potentially dangerous Galaxy Note7’s to the airport. SFO says Samsung reps are now located in front of security checkpoints. Customers can go there to swap out their recalled phones or get a refund.

Wendy The Wanderer Posted October 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Amazing that this has escalated so quickly. Less than 2 weeks ago we flew home from Europe and were told to power off all 7's for the duration of the flight. I can't imagine that Samsung can have people at airports all over the world.

You are right. Samsung is now in a tough situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
