shofer Posted August 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2019 We are new to the Oasis class ships and are booked on Symphony in February. Watching several VLOGs on YouTube and see people with these wrist bands to open their room, etc. What exactly are these and where do you get them? Do I have to order them pre-cruise and how much?

Clarea Posted August 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Get them at Guest Services for $4-$5 each. They do everything the SeaPass card does, except get you on and off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not-enough-cruising Posted August 17, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2019 You can not order them in advance, they will be set up in Boleros on day 1, they are $5.99 You can do everything with the wrist band that you can do with your sea pass card EXCEPT getting on and off the ship.

Thanks Yes, but I don't know if they give you the choice. Some ships have the muster station printed on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucefan21 Posted August 17, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'm new to Royal Caribbean. If we have a big group of family going does every person need to get his/her own wristband in the line or can I just go and pick up ten wristbands for several linked cabins? Thanks!

You have to have each person's SeaPass card to "make" the WowBand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks On our first Oasis class cruise... no. Can’t remember for 2nd. This year on Symphony we got our choice of black, blue, yellow or white. And we love them!

kmorg1234 Posted August 18, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 18, 2019 For the Suite guests, do they automatically supply them? Or do they have to purchase them as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks One downside to the band is they often give you and cabin mate the same color. So you have to mark them in some manner.

I saw 3 colors on Anthem Blue, White and Black. There could have been more but we purchased them after the line went down at the kiosk in Bolero's. It was an after thought as we weren't going to purchase them.They didn't offer us a choice of colors. The gentleman was going to activate two black bands and I asked if we could have one black band and one white band so we would know who's was who's. It turned out to be a good investment since I didn't have to carry DW's sail pass around in my pocket. It was a bit of an inconvenience when getting drinks because you had to take it off.

Pain in the ass The other issue I have (and one of many reasons I stopped using them after 1 time), is if you are in the theater or a lounge and order a drink, you have to take off your band, hand it to the waiter and when he comes back he has a tray of 5 drinks and assorted wow bands that you need to sort through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird? We’ve had them on 2 ships, and they’ve always handed our bands back to us. They never made us sort through a pile...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked my account everyday and when they charged me for drinks I didn't order I started to carry my sail card and handed that to them when ordering drinks.

CupKayke Posted August 18, 2019 #25 Share Posted August 18, 2019 If we buy the bands, will it make our Sea Pass cards inactive? I have a hard time wearing any type of wristband but I really want to try this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
