Physical sea pass? What is new in the last decade?

[HeiPus]

This might be a silly question, but do you still get a physical sea pass or is it just digital via the app? 

 

Cruising for the first time in 10 years, so very much out of date on our cruise know how. Is there anything new that's been implemented the last couple of years? Apart from the Royal app, that is.

You will still get a physical Sea Pass. Many people don't want to have to arry their phone whrever they go.

No more standing at muster drill for 20 to 30 minutes.  All done on the app now and a quick one minute stop at the muster station to check in.

You still need the seapass for everything from going on/off the ship to make everyday purchases on board

Or you can donate $10 to the RC debt fund and buy a snazzy WOW band. 😁

 

But yes, obviously you do still need the card.

Most ships do not support using the app as a door key

Only real difference in physical card is the inclusion of RFID, but that's only on newer ships

 

Oh, and I guess the colors keep changing to indicate accommodations or C&A status
