Use of deluxe drink package before rooms open

[Chicky2181]

I’ve heard that seapass cards are now given to you in your room. This will be a new experience for us. 

Are you able to use your deluxe drink package before getting them? Common sense tells me no.....but I figured I’d check with the group. 

 

We also have plans on purchasing WOWbands.  Perhands we could use them before we get our cards 🤔??

Your printed set sail pass, with the bar code can be used  for purchases prior to getting the sea pass card .

However, on our recent HOS cruise- we used our boarding set sail pass for a drink and noticed we were charged for the drinks- no big deal we got the credit without a fuss.

I haven’t seen this info before. If they leave your sea pass card in the cabin, how do you get into your cabin (as you always used them to get inside)?

They leave them outside the room.

Thanks for the reply! Seems a bit odd, but guess they have their reasons. Last RCCI cruise we were on was in Oct 2018 and it was still the old cards/way. I appreciate finding this heads-up!! Love the CC boards and the folks that make it great!!!

I was just going to give you a shout out to answer this for the Oasis

I only have 1 more to take before she leaves us. Laura has two due the credit from Noro cruise. 

 

I guess I'll know for sure in 10 days

Thanks everyone for all your information!!!

We usually get ours at check in.

 The sea pass cards are generally in a sealed envelope and are waiting on the outside of the state room door. Some have reported the envelope is not sealed, but in the last four or five times that we’ve been using this process, the envelopes have always been sealed. We’ve never had a problem.   

 

 In fact, I think there’s a notation on the envelope that if it is not sealed, to go  to guest services. 

Enjoy.

Is there anything on the Sea Pass card indicating that you have the beverage package or does the card need to be scanned for them to know that?

Yes and if you buy it on board they still give you the stickers.

On Allure in November there wasn't anything that said we had a drink package they just scanned it or typed in the numbers I'm not sure which. My sister-in-law's pass didn't say she had a package. I think it may have gotten screwed up because she switched rooms after purchasing the package, she didn't have a cup in her room either. The bartender called guest services and then gave her a sticker to show if it didn't work at another bar.
