We're on Freedom this weekend and my son wants to test out the WOW bands new to that ship.

Freedom has rfid and wow bands now? Awesome. We’re on her in a couple weeks.

My sister just purchased them on Utopia for $10 each.

Does anyone know if these are reusable for when she goes on Wonder next year? Like can they bring them back and get them re-programmed? Or do you have to purchase new ones each sailing?

99% sure they can be reprogrammed.

Yes.   They can be reprogrammed for a new/different ship.  Dan has one he’s been using for a long time.  He keeps getting it reprogrammed for each new ship.  The Suites Concierge can do it right at their desk.  The only ones that cannot be reused are the old ones that had a muster station written on them.

Thanks Raye! I will let her know! What is the cost for re-programming?

I wish you could reprogram the purple star class ones 😂

I have a sneaking suspicion that you can.  I saw a guy wearing one in the casino and I made a casual comment about how nice it is to be in SC.  He didn't even answer me (he was kind of a dickwad, it turns out), which in and of itself doesn't indicate anything....however, I saw him AGAIN on a different ship wearing that purple SC band.  I do NOT think he was SC on both of those cruises (of course,  I could be wrong....but you just kinda know).  My guess is, he wasn't SC on EITHER of those cruises.  I think he has been wearing an old SC WOW band.

Unfortunately (for us) we never had a purple SC WOW band.  All of ours were just regular WOW bands and one of those IS the one that Dan has been wearing and re-wearing.

If you try it, let us know if they reprogram it for you.  It would be interesting to know.

There was a guy we ran into on Allure on the wave who we suspected was doing this. He tried to hop into the SC session.

I’m going to take some SC bands on Freedom to see if I can get them reprogrammed just to see people’s reaction to us wearing them. 

Can they reprogrammed on any ship or just the ships that sell WOW Bands.

I would expect that the ship would have to have rfid capabilities so not every ship.

It is definitely a subset of the ships that support them and only ships that sell WOW Bands.  All of the Icon class, Oasis class, and Quantum class ships that we’ve been on have supported them.  Royal is very far behind Princess with their “Medallions” that are widely embraced and do so much more so hopefully there is enough competitive pressure for Royal to enhance and roll out on more ships.

The WOW bands are archaic technology compared to Medallion.

I wish Royal implemented something like that instead of this old passive RFID bands.
