Samsung Cell Phones

[Lmack]

I just received a telephone call from our TA regarding a notice she just received from RCCL regarding the fact that RCCL (all Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, & Azamara) was no longer allowing any Samsung Cell phones, not just the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. I called RCCL and I was informed the policy only applied to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, and not the Samsung Galaxy 7. Has anyone else heard anything regarding this?

I feel pretty safe that your TA either misheard, misunderstood, or was misinformed.

Q: Can I bring my Galaxy Note 7 phone onboard?

 

A: Royal Caribbean International 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.

I am on independence at the moment there are signs at security when boarding and a announcement 15 min before muster. About galaxy note 7 banned. The signs at security say that it will be confiscated and returned at the end of the cruise and the onboard announcement said to contact guest services or security if you have inadvertently brought one onboard. Both says use and charging are not allowed.

There are signs at embarkation that the note 7 is not allowed. That is it. Dh and I are on board right now with note 3 and note 4. No problems.
