New S&S procedures

Is there a list of what ships are using the new procedure of having the Sign and Sail cards on the cabinet door or in the mail box? I am looking forward to streamlining check in. Thanks.

and how would this info streamline your check in?

Vista is the only ship i know doing this. It makes checking in quick and easy as the person checking you in does not have to go hunt down the boxes for your sign and sail card.

We were on the Vista in December (and cruise again on her this December).

They were doing the S&S cards in your mailboxes last year and it didn’t seem to really speed anything up, in all honesty.

Vista, Glory, Splendor, and other ships that I don’t recall are currently doing it this way. It’s much better.

Freedom is also doing it the new way.

Per recent posters it’s also on Sensation and Victory. I believe I heard it will be fleet wide by the end of the year.

The Glory had it in May when we sailed.

Will they be implementing this on the Fantasy class ships since they do not have mailboxes?

i think it also keeps the people out of the cabin areas too until its time

Yes. It’s been reported that they are wedging them in between the wall and cabin numbers.

The Breeze had them in the mailboxes last month.

The Valor had just started the new procedure when we cruised in August.

All of the ships in Galveston do this.

Not sure how this will be done on fantasy ships with no mailbox? Poked out from under the door?

It does make it quicker.

Not true other ship are doing it.

OK....I am totally @ lost concerning this topic ... but can someone explain what this change means? Sorry for being so dumb... but I don't understand what changes are being made with the S&S card.:rolleyes:

Instead of getting your sail and sign card when you check in, the card is in an envelope waiting outside your stateroom. I didn't think it would make that much of a difference, but check in was super fast!

My question: If someone were to take the S&S Card out of the mailbox, wrote down the Cabin number, what security measures are in place? I think the persons last name would be asked. :confused:

Thanks.

Wonder if the Splendor will continue doing this when she homeports in Long Beach.

The S&S cards are in a sealed envelope, you would know that it was tampered with. I have not heard of one true issue since they implemented this and think of it as a significant enhancement.

I'm pretty sure " your" picture shows up when using the S&S card. Would be very difficult to use.

As far as getting into your cabin, there is nothing valuable in the cabin until you get there.

If you are suppose to get 2 S&S cards and the envelope is tampered with go to guest services to get new ones.

I was on the Magic the end of Sept. out of Port Canaveral, and we received our S&S cards upon check in. We were able to proceed to guest services immediately upon boarding, and load our gift cards onto our account. If they start putting your S&S cards in the mailboxes, will you have to wait until 1:30 to retrieve them? I would think that would really cause a lot more congestion at the guest services desk later in the day.

There have been many threads about this since it was implemented. And, initially, most people reacted negatively because most people seem to hate change.

I always love the declarations of "it will never work" and "what about this?" and "what about that" until people actually use it and find it works just fine.

All the hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth for nothing. ;p

No idea how it will be done on the ships that don't have a mailbox. It was the "old" way on Ecstasy 8/30.

Though those with general boarding will need to wait until between 1&2pm to get their S&S cards from their mailbox, there is no reason to wait to go to the GS desk to load cash or gift cards to your S&S account. Just like buying drinks before getting our card, you use your boarding pass at the GS desk. Though without the S&S card it will be harder or impossible to use the kiosk.
