Rare orville99 Posted July 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2022 They have both the bar code and the mag stripe, but I believe that they also have the imbedded RFID chip. If I remember correctly from our last Allure cruise in October, the bartenders held them on the chip reader when we purchased drinks - but then I was drinking at the time so my memory may be a bit fuzzy about that.🍹🍹 When in doubt, ask GS to punch your cards for lanyards, because they know where the chip (if there is one) is located. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only say what I experienced two weeks on ago on Allure. Everytime I got a drink my card was swiped, not inserted in a chip reader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I sailed on Oasis and Anthem all I needed was tap my card to get into cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason they punched our kid’s cards right in the middle in the RC logo/name rectangle. Edited July 4, 2022 by topnole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Posted July 4, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Also note that the cards they are currently using delaminate easily. The printing is on a clear sheet applied to the hard card and they tend to peel off to varying degrees. Lots of people need replacements during the week.

No issues with delaminating. Maybe if they get wet or sunscreen on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same delaminating problem on our last four Harmony cruises - January, February, and April - as well as our October Allure cruises. All of my cards delaminated but non of my wife’s did. Probably because I always carry mine in my pocket and she keeps hers in a little clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why but I've had them come apart on every cruise recently on Harmony, Wonder, Allure at the end of May. I wasn't alone. Even had a guest relations person say they know they have a problem with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got new ones midway through the week and the print changed from white to black IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced mine on th 6th day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got sunscreen on mine at Cococay and the ink came right off. No issues reboarding though. GS printed me a new one in like 10 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at mine from last cruise to confirm and they look perfect. I carry mine in my pocket all week. Zero issues. But I didn’t get it wet, have sunscreen on it, or have it swiped that much. Those spray sunscreens are really bad and I know they take off all the info like it is wet water based paint. I’d guess they can ruin the laminate too. I can’t imagine the stuff they do to one’s body. Not sure, maybe other sunscreens do some of that too. Maybe it is swiping for drinks/dinners throughout the trip and a combination of other things?

Don't use sunscreen never get them wet, but the back just peels off midweek - just like clockwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare S.A.M.J.R. Posted July 4, 2022 #18 Share Posted July 4, 2022 We got these for our upcoming cruise: https://www.amazon.com/10-Pack-Standard-Thickness-Specialist/dp/B01GLOUR6K/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=N8XGVOI51U2W&keywords=gripper+card+holder&qid=1656976559&s=office-products&sprefix=gripper+card+holder%2Coffice-products%2C82&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExUDlDSEk5SDIxWlhKJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTM2Nzc1M0RUTTA2NUYzUVZJVSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDQ1NDg1MjFVS1JRSUYyT1haVyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= Hoping we don't need to go to GS to get holes punched, but that's our backup. These should work for RFID cards too. Just a little over $1/holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
