JasonMason Posted February 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hey All - Since it seems Royal has paused (or stopped) offering Wow Bands onboard, for those of you who brought them from previous sailings and had them successfully reprogrammed - did they give you any trouble with the Muster Station being printed on the side of the band? I know some did not have this, but the only one I have left is an Anthem band with my D3 station printed on it. Was hoping to bring it along on a future sailing, but wasn’t sure if I’d have to find some clever way of removing that first. Thank ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chandoe Posted February 11, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Brought mine and Guest Service re programmed the band. Did this on Harmony in November. By coincident it was the same Muster station we were assigned. I don't think Guest Services even noticed. I would go ahead and bring it along. You could get some kind of sticker and put over Muster Station number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you pay for the re-programming. I got my first one on Quantum. Was able to re-use on Anthem gratis, but was told in the future it would cost me. What is the going price these days.

chandoe Posted February 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Went to Guest Services as soon as we got on the ship. There was not a charge to re- program. This was on Harmony November 21. I don't know if other ships charge. When it comes to Oasis Class Ships Allure is the only ship that does not use WOW Bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFID device which functions like the Seapass card - not usually offered now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38anchor Posted February 14, 2022 #8 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) We were on Anthem last year out of UK and were given wow brands as we were Star class. Fast forward a few months and on Anthem in Jan out of NJ (no longer star class) - asked if we could get our wow bands reprogrammed (no muster printed on them) and were told they were no longer being used and therefore they couldn't be reprogrammed. Very disappointed as we found them such a benefit. Edited February 14, 2022 by 38anchor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This varies by ship - we have had reports of folks being able to reprogram and use them since the restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted February 14, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2022 We had the reprogrammed on Anthem a few times but this was pre-Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
