TOUR Tickets??

[regnig]

Is HAL still providing paper Tour Tickets that are delivered to one's stateroom?

TIA

On my recent Rotterdam cruise, they were in the Navigator app only.

Two more questions then:

1-What happens if one doesn't have a have a smart phone with them? 

2-Does this mean one has to take their phone on tour with them?

Your room key can work to verify your identity for a tour.

If you don't have a smartphone, the shorex folks can print your tickets for you. 

 

I have a smartphone, but there is often no free wifi at the tour meeting point. I don't want to be hot with roaming charges, so I screenshot my excursion tickets.

All you need to do is present your room card.

Last winter, nobody from shorex said anything about using the room key. They just said to use the app. I didn't want to take my cell to the beach, but it was the only way I knew to have a ticket. 

 

I think I've learned more about HAL here than I have from many cruises on HAL.

All is flux, the only constant is change.*

 

*May or may not not apply to sailings on, before or after February 1, 2024.

We always use the tickets on our phone, but on a cruise this fall I decided ("just because") to see if my room card would work. It did. They just scan your card the same way as they scan the app ticket.

And recently, TV under "excursions" has a listing of meeting times and locations, which is something you see in the Navigator App that you

need to know but obviously cannot see on your card.
