leerobbs Posted December 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2019 For anyone recently sailing on Adventure of the Seas, at what point in the boarding process did you get your sea pass card? Some posts lately have mentioned getting the card once you reach your stateroom after 1 pm. I don't remember seeing that for the Adventure any info would be appreciated.

Clarea Posted December 31, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2019 From what port are you sailing? The process can differ port to port. Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that is the case now from PE (and was true from Cape Liberty) - @John&LaLa can confirm. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom47 Posted December 31, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2019 We are on Adventure in March out of Ft. Lauderdale and we would also like to know. Our boarding pass says in the room. Link to post Share on other sites
M&M Hayden Posted December 31, 2019 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2019 We were on Adventure for 2 weeks in December and the cards are located by the cabin doors. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

twangster Posted December 31, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I first saw the room distribution of cards on Adventure in Oct of 2018. I believe it's the the ship that determines it, not the port. Once the ship has the equipment to print cards in bulk and they convert the onboard systems it then uses the new process.

ssb Posted December 31, 2019 #9 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Enchantment in Galveston has implemented the new system . Liberty is following in the New system . Link to post Share on other sites

Cape Liberty has been putting cards at the room since the new terminal was built and Anthem came there. So, port does play a part in it. CL isn't set up like most terminals.

When a ship can't support card distribution the cards are overnighted from Miami. They are printed 4 days before the cruise. It's a huge PITA. Terminals only have contractors, no Royal employees. It's the ship that determines if cards will be distributed on board. Just wait for some older ships to arrive in Bayonne soon. Edited December 31, 2019 by twangster Link to post Share on other sites

Older ships have already gone out of CL-Adventure being one of them. Link to post Share on other sites

Port Everglades - Majesty still has cards given out in the terminal, even terminal 18. The terminal doesn't decide it. Edited December 31, 2019 by twangster Link to post Share on other sites
ONECRUISER Posted December 31, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Back 30yrs ago all the cards were in room to retrieve after Boarding, whats old is new... Link to post Share on other sites

DragonOfTheSeas Posted January 1, 2020 #16 Share Posted January 1, 2020 On our Snowbird Migration cruise in October out of Quebec they were at the cabin. I think one was by the door and they other inside. IIRC Link to post Share on other sites
Blizzard54 Posted January 1, 2020 #17 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Yes they are outside by the door to the cabin. Your setsail pass can be used to by drinks until you can get to your cabin after 1pm. Link to post Share on other sites

There are currently 3 different ones for both Royal and Celebrity. Majesty should transition to their new system on the way to New Orleans but most likely will still distribute sea pass cards in the terminal for awhile. Link to post Share on other sites
villager70 Posted January 1, 2020 #19 Share Posted January 1, 2020 We were on Adventure in Nov and on her again Sat. Cards in envelope on outside door . Bad thing could not get in Diamond lounge to wait around before cabin opening at 130. Had back to backers with card got in so we followed.. Cabin a few doors down from us people went to their cabin around 200pm and someone else had already got card outside opened door and made themselves comfortable by mistake.
