No more poiiii poiiii sound

[mcatmcat]

Hahah I was in the Allure a few weeks ago and I don't remember the poiiii poiiii sound that the security check point used to do when scanning my sea pass ( I miss that sound)

Well that won't do. Won't do at all. How will I know that my holiday has started? ;)

Very sad to hear this, or should I say not hear this.

I like the ding sound when people get on and off the ship.

Was just on a B2B on Allure and the sound was there as soon as we boarded the ship and each time we disembarked!....:)

Removing the sounds is another cost cutting move.

That's it!!!! First the chocolate on the pillows.:( Then the logo on the napkins.:confused: This is the final straw - no ding? I'll never cruise again.:mad:

 

Time for me to compose a letter to Adam Goldstein.:p

 

Back to reality = I was on Allure a few weeks ago and there was still a ding. However, the volume was not set to 160 decibels, like it usually is. Maybe they just turned the volume down.

OW MY SIDES!!! I like your sense of humor. I was thinking the same exact thing!!

[JimAOk1945]

I love hearing the sound!!! That's when I know for certain that I'm on the ship ready to cruise and relax!

 

Our next cruise coming is in December. It's a looooong time to wait! :D

I was probably on Jewel at the time and it was still there, but I haven't seen it spelled that way before :p

Just plug in your iPhone or iPad. The sound is very similar. :)

On a humorous note, I just called a lady in Michigan and her call went to voice mail. I swear the tone at the start was the same one! Back to work.

Ha, I started a thread on this a while back when Apple updated the software. I said "When you plug your phone in, does the new sound remind you of anything?"

 

Well the thread turned into people talking about which iphone was better, etc so the mods deleted it.

Here's a thread devoted to the subject.

We sailed her last month & the sound was still there:p

[TravelMadBrits]

I plug/unplug my ipad several times a night to get that sound and it really helps with my post-cruise blues. If they take that away... Well I can't just go there! :eek:

Now you have to smuggle your own on! I just picked up some "Poiiii Poiiii Runners" although "Ding Runners" will also work.

 

I just fill them with these: https://sites.google.com/site/soundsfromrci/

 

That way I can enjoy the sounds anytime I want, even in my cabin. ;)

I sure hope it is still there on the Explorer in two weeks!

[leaveitallbehind]

It has been on every cruise we have been on - most recently Independence this past March.

 

Might have to consider a different cruise line if they take that away......:eek:

All I've ever heard was a "Ding". I've never heard "Poiiii poiiii".

I have heard that on Quantum, Anthem and maybe Oasis 3 & 4 they will have specialty boarding with a nickel for one ding and a dime for both for each time you board. You can buy a package to allow specialty boarding for the whole cruise and the D+ and up coupons [OK -- electronic equivalents] will include a BOGO offer. I think suite guests will be comped.

[flucocruiser]

I imagine the security crew was happy can you imagine hearing that sound 6,000 times each time
