Fascination in-room safes

[The4Cruisers]

Quick question... Are the safes on Fascination keypad entry or card swipe?

[firefly333]

If they are like Ecstasy, they are keypad.

[KroozFoolz]

M18 card swipe

 

[mlyn]

They are card swipe.

Can any card with a magnetic strip open these? For instance, if I use my CC for the safe, could someone else come along with their cc and open it?

[SadieN]

Only the card that locked the safe can unlock the safe.

Thanks Sadie.

This can be a problem if the person who swiped the credit card is separated by the other room occupants. DH also used his driver license and that worked with the safe. Now, if that demagnitized his DR, I don't know.

 

A fellow passenger from my Elation Dec 2010 cruise said he carries a Walmart gift card and used that. He said it had a zero balance on it but worked on the safe. So on my next cruise, I'll get a wallyword credit card with a low balance for this purpose. Would hate to have my beloved AmEx FFM card desensitized. Hope this helps. Wish they would go back to keypads so that all room occupants can access the safe when they are alone in the room.

we always use the hotel key from wherever we stayed before to swipe the safe. I have a "vacation folder" with all of our itinerary and throw the key/safe opener in there. That way if I am not in the room, my husband still has access to whatever he needs from the safe.

I use a casino club card or a store club card. We will hide the card in the cabin so that it is available to us and that way we don't have to go looking for the person holding the card.

 

IIRC - the safes on the Splendor use a keypad.
