RCCL Cabin Safes Safe?

[Rock Chick]

1. Good tip.

3. This suggestion also applies to your seapass card...

4. I assume maintenance has a master code that they can enter if you forget (or mis-key) your code...Can anyone confirm?

 

We had a situation when the battery went flat so had to call maintenance out. They have a key that overides the password and can open the safe.

 

In our case, he opened the safe, changed the battery and all was well.

Congrats on the impending nuptials, you received very good advice. One other thing we leave our passports in the safe just make copies & bring them with us when we go to the ports. Tug on that safe I thought I had my closed only to find out before I left my room it was wide open.

The safes are SAFE!

 

I agree......a good motto ......USE IT OR LOSE IT

 

OP...congrats on your upcoming marriage. Please come back and give us a full report & pictures.

 

Have a wonderful time!

Senrab, satxdiver already answered you, so will only add that the one time we mis-keyed our code, the person who came to open it for us was very understanding, and said it happened quite often.

 

The easiest way to prevent losing anything underneath the little ledge in the safe is never to put small, loose items directly into the safe in the first place. We each put a box or bag inside the safe to hold jewelry, money, credit cards, controlled medications -- anything small that may shift with the ship's motion. It helps to keep things separated too so they don't end up all jumbled together.

Good tip, fleckle; you sound like an extremely organized person.

 

I figured there was a process. Between young kids playing with it and older people who had one too many at the bars, ...

Older people? Older people? Moi?? Oh wait ... I did just join AARP ... :D

We have never had a problem with the safes on any ship, but do have some tips re: safes, in general:

 

1. ALWAYS, before final debarkation, run your fingers underneath the ledge in the front of the safe. I have almost lost some favorite jewelry, twice, that had slid under the little lip/overhang there; found it in a last-minute check.

 

2. Don't start your code with a zero. Some older safes just cannot handle this.

 

3. If it's one of those safes that needs a magnetic-strip type card (like a credit card, store card, anything with a magnetic strip) do not store the card near a cell phone in your purse, or anywhere near the fridge magnet you just purchased onboard.

 

4. Many safes require you to re-enter your code each time you lock them back up. Consider how many martinis you have had before you do this late at night ... :eek:

 

5. You can minimize the time spent opening/closing the safe by stashing a little pile of small bills in a drawer somewhere, to use for room service tips.

 

Hope this helps!
