SassyFeather Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Are these WOW bands in use? If so, how much are they, where do we get them and what are the pros/cons to them? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Yes, they're still in use. You can get them at Guest Services for $9.99 each SassyFeather 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SassyFeather Posted September 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Does it do everything that the Sea Pass does? Any pros and cons to it? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost. It does not get you on and off of the ship when in port. It can be a pain to take them off for a bartender. That being said, I still prefer them over carrying my card; Xaa and Doug_Texas 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had them once and never used them again because for the kids club you needed the SeaPass card, not the bands. Since we still have kids who use the kids club, we always need the Sea Pass card. If you don't have kids then this isn't an issue and the bands would be more useful. Also as stated above you need the SeaPass to scan off and on the ship. 27th Lady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_Texas Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 This is what is great about this blog site! I had no idea RCL had something like this. I knew we couldn't get our Seas Pass cards punched on the newer ships because they are RFID instead of bar code and we adapted using the stupid plastic sleeves for putting the cards on the lanyards. We sail on Wonder in two weeks and I am all in on this WOW Band. Easy, waterproof alternative in the pool. We will see if the wife will give up her "bling lanyard".

Any fee for doing that do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilley Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Good question @cmdrfrag. Anyone know the cost to reprogram. think I will borrow one from my cousin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 No fee for reprogramming an old WOW band. Side note: In the past, they have been hesitant to reprogram a WOW band that has a lifeboat designation on it. The one that Dan has (and had reprogrammed) did not have a lifeboat designation on it. I have read of them reprogramming even the ones with the lifeboat designation, but I think your best chances of getting one reprogrammed would be one of the "blank" bands. Not sure what the answer would be if you brought one to be reprogrammed with a lifeboat designation on it. Good luck !!! cmdrfrag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLH Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Does Harmony have them for StarClass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWhoWaits Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Big con - tan line. When we were at Disney World two summers ago and the band was the only way to access the parks and hotel room or to pay for stuff on the account, mine stayed in my pocket except when in specific use. Disclaimer: I also haven't worn a watch for over 30 years. If you're accustomed to having something on your wrist, probably no big deal. For me, if the option exists to NOT wear something I won't wear it. tingtang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
