m8zenblue Posted January 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I haven’t seen this topic posted yet, if it has I must have missed it, apologies. On our last X cruise in November last year we had a problem with our SeaPass cards. There was this “film” that started peeling off the cards. I thought it was some sort of protective coating, it wasn’t. We went to Guest Services and the staff member said not to remove the coating because that is all your vital info. Ok, but the new card started peeling again, before it totally peeled away back down to Guest Services. I spoke with others in line who were having the same issue. I prefer the old embossed cards. Anyone have knowledge about this change ? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_T Posted January 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2023 We had ‘printed’ rather than embossed cards on Eclipse last week, but zero issues with them. No signs of peeling at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I think it may depend on the card. On Solstice for a B2B my first card was perfect the whole cruise. My second the printing was so bad you couldn't read anything so they printed another. The next one started peeling after a couple days but lasted me the full cruise.

Rare Essiesmom Posted January 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The only cruise I had this problem was my one cruise on Crystal. But I’ve only done one since, a four day on Carnival. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laslomas Posted January 21, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I sailed last October (Silhouette) and had a card where the film started to peel off after a couple of days. At one bar I was told I could just remove it. So I did. Everything still worked perfectly, so I assumed it was just for protection and should be removed. Who knows??? 😕 Edited January 21, 2023 by laslomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted January 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Do you swim with the card? Pehaps the water and chemicals caused it to peel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arubamoose Posted January 21, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Mine peeled off on the Odyssey in October. Twice. No problem for Guest services to reprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatonDoolittle Posted January 21, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 21, 2023 It was reported on another thread that the peeling was a known issue; they acknowledged they were using up a bad batch of cards received after the lockdown. Vendor issue, evidently, but has been rectified. Life will go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have knowledge about this change ? Thanx We experienced this on our March cruise (both legs) with RC and our September cruise with Celebrity. We also heard others while on the ships having the same issue. We didn't bother having our Seapass cards replaced. We figured it would happen again as what you experienced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cl.klink Posted January 22, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 22, 2023 So, it sounds like the "coating" is not containing digital information then, right? - Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
