mrsd2fan Posted February 5 #1 Share Posted February 5 When you give your seas pass to get chips or whatever, make sure you get your sea pass back, not someone else's. My sister in law was playing roulette and when the floor manager, or whetever he's called, gave her the sea pass back, it wasn't hers and she didnt realize it until after she used it again to get more chips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted February 5 #2 Share Posted February 5 (edited) I always make sure I have the right one since I end up being the carrier of cards for any events on or off the ship. But for casino tips, also make sure you pull your card out of the slots when you walk away! I did that once and luckily it was still there after I realized I was missing it.

SilkySal Posted February 5 #5 Share Posted February 5 Ditto what @doghog said! A pool bartender (very busy) handed me a man's sea pass. Since I always check the name, I noticed the mistake right away. However, he had already given mine to the man, whose sea pass I had and he left the bar! I decided to wait there at the bar to see if he would return. Yep, turns out, he went back to his cabin and couldn't get in!! LOL! Cards were returned to each owner safely. Always check your sea pass when it's returned to you!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellaz Posted February 6 #6 Share Posted February 6 Do the point-of-sale systems onboard have a way of determining that the card is not being used by the valid user? Does your photo show up when they scan your card so they could see that someone else is using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to use a detachable lanyard, and hand over the clip part. Or I hand over the entire lanyard. MUCH easier to know if I've gotten mine back. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer ships and machine do not require to insert card but simply tap on the id piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just on cruises; for example, I've been handed back a stranger's credit card in a restaurant. Doesn't inspire confidence in one's wait staff.

doghog Posted February 6 #11 Share Posted February 6 I always check. Just like counting my change when I pay cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a minimum you save on the dreaded surcharges which have been appearing on bills since the end of the pandemic.
