OnceAMarineAlwaysAMarine Posted August 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Going on Oasis in a couple of weeks and would like to know if Oasis now uses the RFID seapass cards that you tap to open your cabin door, or do they use the type that you swipe in the door handle to open the door. My understanding is that the RFID cards can not have a hole punched in them by guest services, in which case any lanyards that I get will need to have the clear plastic card holders instead of hooking directly into a hole in the seapass card.

It turned into a hassle going to Customer Service and waiting and waiting and waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, we had a Genie(s). But, they kept hurting themselves. So, I just went ahead and did it, myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sml3 Posted August 9, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Are they upgrading the RFID wristbands on ships yet? We purchased ours on Harmony a few years ago Pre-Covid. Last year on the Odyssey they weren't using them/allowing reprogramming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailed on Anthem X 3, Oasis X 2 and Enchantment since restart and never had this problem. Quality was surprisingly bad on Celebrity Edge a year ago.

lovelife Posted August 9, 2022 #16 Share Posted August 9, 2022 On Symphony currently in connecting balconies so cards were issued at same time. My card is fine but DH's has almost peeled off. His always does and mine doesn't. He thinks it's from sliding it in and out of his pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-use of existing Wow bands seem to vary by ship and maybe even sailing - bring it with you and try it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobH5849 Posted August 10, 2022 #18 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Cruised Anthem in April and our cards peeled. Looked like cheap tape on top of the cards. Unfortunately all the printing is on the tape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poocher Posted August 10, 2022 #20 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Yup, ours on Harmony peeled. Silly me thought it was like the film you peel off of appliance touch pads & I just pulled it off. SURPRISE!!!
