Simpsonx2 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 We leave in 9 day and I am so excited. This is our first cruise! If you board early how can you get drinks and food before your sea pass cards are given? Can you use cash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use your set sail pass that you used to board the ship. That acts as your seapass card until you get the actual card. Happy sailing!

Jill Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Before you board you will get your seapass card when you check in at the port before boarding. The minute you step onboard, you can get drinks. You have to present your seapass card when you board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganno Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 does this depend on the ship? In the UK the cards are given out dockside at checkin. What can I expect when going from Canaveral this August ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Ships like Harmony are moving high-tech, and they are speedy on the embarkation process. Reps with tablets greet you and process you in. If you haven't uploaded a photo, the rep will take a photo with the tablet. The representative will also scan passports. The Sea Pass cards are placed in your cabin (one envelope outside the cabin). Your Set Sail pass is the key document until about 1PM when staterooms open. The ship cash registers and rooms are "tap and go", you don't slide the Sea Pass card. 16 hours ago, Simpsonx2 said: We leave in 9 day and I am so excited. This is our first cruise! If you board early how can you get drinks and food before your sea pass cards are given? Can you use cash? Always carry cash on your trip but leave it in your stateroom safe until you need it for special tips or casino. (You need a few $$ at embarkation for the luggage porter, of course.) Normally, gratuities are prepaid, but at the end of the voyage you can always recognize someone special with provided RCI envelopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Turtle Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Congrats on first cruise! We got our WOW bands and were able to use them before cabin/sea pass access (most recent Harmony, 6/16-23/19) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditchdoc Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 5 hours ago, twangster said: Take it from an experienced Captain... Ship vs boat has been debated seriously and in jest for years. A classic difference is a ship can carry a boat but a boat can not carry a ship. But then there are specially designed ships made to carry other ships that have been damaged or are not sea worthy. Does that make what was a ship a boat? A more recent technical description is any vessel larger than 500 ton displacement is a ship.
