Safes in staterooms

[Wirral]

Just a quick note to thank all those cruise critics who suggested using your seapass card to activate the safes. They worked perfectly. Why do they not suggested this can be used? It would be helpful to all as I am sure no one wants to have a credit card lying around.

 

Anyway a big thanks to the folks who suggested it on this board.

Because if someone "finds" and illegitimately uses your SeaPass to get into your cabin, he can ALSO then get into your safe!

 

In the past, we have used ANY card with a magnetic strip. I have used my supermarket card, a TGIF rewards card, etc.

I have never seen the type of safe you mention. Which ships did you see this on? Mariner, Explorer, Freedom, etc. all have a touch pad safe with self generated codes

Enchantment used to have them. Last few cruises were the number setting version. i do take a library card or somethibng with a strip just in case.

We were on a ship on a different cruise line with this type of safe, and I thought it was a nuisance compared to using the touchpad safes.

 

What have others done with the extra card when they leave the room, do you take it with you? hide it in your room somewhere? Does anyone feel there are advantages to this type of lock that I might have overlooked?

Grandeur in 2005 had the creidt card swipe type, but last October the Empress had the touch pad where you enter your own code in. Definitely liked the touch type much better!

Touch pad all the way!!! Are you listening, RCI??????

Can you explain how this works to me? I'm a little lost on it. Can you activate it with any card you have with a magnetic stirp?

Do you know if all cabins have the touchpad safes on Empress?
