Oxo Posted December 16, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Does RCI still use wristbands on their ships to identify those that are vaccinated? Are there areas on the ship that are only for those that are vaccinated? Thank you in advance. Stay Safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outtoseacruise Posted December 16, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Unfortunately they do. They switched to the cloth ones in September/October. I prefer the latex ones that don't get tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they changed because anyone can swap out the latex ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Examples on Explorer include Schjoner Bar, Casino, Solarium, Diamond Lounge. There are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B2B cruisers have them issued when they get they meet in the lounge that morning between 9-9:30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo1098 Posted December 16, 2021 #7 Share Posted December 16, 2021 On Odyssey last week some had the cloth and some had the latex. Luckily we had the latex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted December 16, 2021 #8 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Liberty OTS 10/24 sailing. Once put on the arm band has to be cut off. They did check for the arm band when entering certain areas like the theater etc. Edited December 16, 2021 by satxdiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted December 16, 2021 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2021 That's a new style for me. When we were on the Ovation in September, the latex bnd was like a bracelet, just slipped on and easy to take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our expeienc...they were handed to us and put them on ourselves. And on b2b's, the new bands were inside the envelopes with our new seapass cards...all handed to us.

Tight enough they did not fall off, but loose so you don't feel like they are tight either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natitude61 Posted December 19, 2021 #13 Share Posted December 19, 2021 On Anthem now…started off with the paper bands at the port, then given the cloth bands on day 2 (left in our room). I was stupid enough to put it on my dominant arm, so that the tail always got in my way. Finally went down to guest services to see if they could give me a replacement to put on my left arm instead, and was given a latex one instead 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thankful it wasn't the cloth bands with that little "tail" that people complain about falling into their food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
