We have an upcoming cruise on the Oasis of the Seas.

Can someone let me know if they still punch holes on the seapass on Oasis ?

 

Also , what time does the terminal open at Port Canaveral and when would they start taking our luggage from us ?

 

Thanks.

They can punch it at the lanyard kiosk right after you leave check in desk.

 

I have dropped luggage off as early as 9:30

 

Folks are still getting off then

Thanks for the reply. 

Would they also let us into the terminal that early ?

 

 

You may have to stand Iine for a little while until they start to let people into the terminal but it is usually very shortly after 9:30...

Currently on the Enchantment. The cards are now on the cabin door. Oasis may be doing the same. 

I was on the Oasis 2 weeks ago.

 

I doubt any changes were made since then.

 

Your on the ship now,  why are you sitting around playing on the internet??.

Going on EN next Friday so checked the website to see if my Setsail Pass had changed, It has - to the latest format. So looks like PC sailings might have gone to the updated system for boarding procedures. .

When accessing my reservation this appeared at the top of the page:

"These guests are checked in

Be sure everyone has a printed or digital SetSail Pass."

 

I then opened my RCI App and sure enough there were digital Set Sail Passes for DW and me.

On my recent cruises I have found that if the boarding pass is such that you can slide it across the digital reader they will not punch holes in it.  It has data stored in it that can be damaged.  The boarding passes that I can put in a slot at my door are still being punched. This seams to be the trend for me and I always try to get them punched.  But I carry a plastic holder just in case.

Just off the Symphony and she wouldn’t punch a hole because of the rfid feature.  I saw another lady who had brought her own hole punch!

Yea, that may not work.  OP asked about Oasis.

 

I punched a hole in my Harmony card, you have to be careful not to cut the internal antennae.   Mine opened the cabin door fine, but it would not register for the muster scan.  I got a new one at GS

The new format SetSail pass does not always mean new boarding procedure.

You may have just nicked the antenna so that the door reader could get it to work but  a lower powered portable reader could not.

This is new since last month when we were on EN. The new SetSail Pass looks like an enlarged Sea Pass and only takes up half a page. Agree as with RCI it is "sometimes, always or never".
