Weena Posted March 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2015 How are the Safes locked? is it with a credit card? I have an old expired one I have used before. Just wondering if Princess has another system. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted March 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Astro Flyer -- Thank you. Good! now I can retire the Old CC. [emoji4] You're welcome...if you ever sail on the Royal or Regal you could use your Old CC instead of your cabin card to activate the cabin lights. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john watson Posted March 28, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Astro Flyer -- Thank you. Good! now I can retire the Old CC. [emoji4] Some of the newer ships have started a system where you only get electricity to work in the cabin if you put your card in a thing near the door (some hotels do this too). It might be prudent to still take ones faithful "Old CC" just in case. You cannot just abandon a thing after many years of loyal service. Sorry; it's for the best.

Wehwalt Posted March 28, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Just use any card with a magnetic strip, really. An old hotel card would work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukesubsailor Posted March 28, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 28, 2015 A magnetic strip is not necessary....anything shaped like a credit card works. I use an old cruise card for the lighting device by the door on the Royal. Just stick it in the device when you board and forget about it until you leave your cabin for good at the end of the cruise.

Astro Flyer Posted March 28, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 28, 2015 nukesubsailor-[emoji106][emoji2][emoji2]Good to know. Thanks I also use an old cruise card & slightly pull it up when leaving our cabin to conserve energy. I almost mistakenly called to report my TV not working on the Royal...it was daytime & I hadn't put the card back in resulting in no TV...oops! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted March 28, 2015 #16 Share Posted March 28, 2015 We are just off the Crown. Our safe didn't have the dial. Simply punch in the 4 digits and press enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skf Posted March 30, 2015 #19 Share Posted March 30, 2015 it was daytime & I hadn't put the card back in resulting in no TV We were swearing at the ship & crew before we realized we hadn't put the card in. OOPS, as you say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliair Posted March 30, 2015 #20 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Astro Flyer -- Thank you. Good! now I can retire the Old CC. [emoji4] Actually you can use any card with a strip to open and close the safe. I use old hotel key cards, I have a drawer full of them. You can even use your driver's license to open and close the safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted March 30, 2015 #24 Share Posted March 30, 2015 it was daytime & I hadn't put the card back in resulting in no TV We were swearing at the ship & crew before we realized we hadn't put the card in. OOPS, as you say! My experience was in October 2013 so the Royal's system was rather new and we had a previous problem with it not working properly & a tech rebooting it (unplugged power cord & plugged in again...difficult even for tech due to very limited space behind TV). Thus we thought it was another problem because it was not working at all...OOPS! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
