WOW Bands

[CruisingLover]

Can someone please explain the WOW bands? 

 

I thought they were just something to wear to pay for things but it looks like you use them to access certain areas of the ship you wouldn't otherwise be able to.

They're just a wearable extension of your SeaPass card. It won't get you anywhere that that won't.

Note that you need the actual SeaPass card to get off/on the ship.

Are they making a "come-back"?  I'd really like them if bartenders and servers could just scan them while they are still on your wrist.  In my experience, they had to have you take them off and take them to the cash register area to be scanned.  I can do that much easier with my Sea Pass Card.  They were great for getting into your cabin when your hands were full (of adult beverages LOL).  

 

And yes, they do/did work at locations where you had to have special access (suite sun deck, diamond lounge, for example).

Hmmmm, ok we'll I just watched a vlog and they showed a sign that said you couldn't get up to deck 16 unless you had the WOW band 🤷

They're just a gimmick to get people to spend more money.

You can get up there, just can't go anywhere up there once you get there unless you are actually in a suite.
