Serenade of the Seas Seapass Cards Day 1

[Aburkhard7]

We will probably board around 11am, so will we be given our Seapass cards at checkin, go to our cabin and they will be next to our door, or do we have to wait until cabins are ready?  If we can pick them up at our cabin, can we drop the water we are bringing on at that time. Understand we can’t settle in and they may still be cleaning cabins. Appreciate any recent experiences on Serenade.

We just got off Serenade. You will not receive your Seapass cards at checkin. You will be able to get them when the cabins are ready, 1:00 - 1:30. They'll be on the door.

We cruised twice recently on Serenade even in a suite you can't access your cabin until they make the announcement and the fire hall way doors are opened which was between 1-1:30pm.

Thank you for your replies.  If we can’t access our cabins and grab our Seapass cards, do we just provide our cabin number to the bartenders for drinks before 1:00?

Use your SetSail pass.

I was on Serenade last week. Prior to our cabin being ready at 1 pm, we didn’t have access to our sail cards. We just gave the bartender our cabin number to order our drinks.

Thank you all.  We’ve only been on Celebrity recently, and they didn’t close fire doors.  We able to get our cards at 11:30 and drop our valuables, as our cabin was already cleaned.  We’ll plan to carry our valuables around until 1-1:30.  Happy future sailings!

I sail out of Tampa as often as I can, as it is so close to home. Since you are in the area, just know if you choose a late boarding time, (I always choose 2pm) you literally walk in, through the terminal, through check in, onto the ship, and to your cabin in less than 10 minutes. That may not interest you, but thought I would mention it.

One of the nice things about Celebrity embarkation.

This info is correct - the same Set Sail pass (barcode) you used to board the ship can be used until you get your Seapass around 1:30

3 Days ago I got to Tampa Port 10:30 for 11am check in, was on Ship 10:45. All Rooms were ready at 1pm. Doing a B4B

It’s only actually nice if they clean your room.  We were on Infinity in February for an Antarctica cruise and had to complain about our room not being cleaned(from the last occupants) and it didn’t happen until 3:30.  We honestly had the worst service we have ever had on a cruise and we were so disappointed.  No one cared at all.

That would be disappointing on any ship and line but I'm not sure what that has to do with dropping off your carry-ons early.
