balcony4u Posted July 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2023 We are sailing to Alaska on August 18th and I was wondering if Ovation has WOW bands. I read they were suppose to be getting them May 2023. I just wanted confirmation:-) Thank you:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomTraveler Posted July 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Someone posted a link on another thread a couple weeks ago that showed the list of ships that have them. I was under the impression that all ships stopped using them, but it may have just been a pandemic thing and now that we're back to normal, they've gone back to selling and using them. If so, then apparently they're purchased on the ship for $10. I haven't heard anyone mention buying or using them though, so who knows. Check the website and see if you can find anything about WOW bands on there because that's where the link that was posted came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick Google search turned it up immediately. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-are-royal-caribbean-wow-bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balcony4u Posted July 22, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I searched it and I did find that they say they have them. I have just found that what Royal says and what is actually happening may not match 😉 I just wanted first hand experience from someone who has been on the ship to confirm what I read on the site:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anyone mention using them, which I find odd because I remember when they stopped using them, it got talked about a lot. People would mention how convenient they were and they were upset that they didn't offer them anymore. So I would have assumed that people would be talking about being excited that they were back, but I've heard nothing. I'll be on the Spectrum on the 31st and plan to buy them if they're available.

balcony4u Posted July 22, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted July 22, 2023 We had them once on Harmony and I loved them. I will buy them if they are offered, but I will also bring my "cell phone wallet" to put my seapass card in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted July 22, 2023 #7 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I was on the Ovation recently, but disembarked on May 19. They didn’t have them at that point, and no ads around that they were coming soon, but maybe somebody that sailed more recent will chime in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin1551 Posted July 22, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Just got off Ovation yesterday. They definitely did have wow bands as I saw them many times along with announcements at each port that you had to use a sea pass to disembark as wow bands will not work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
