Oasis of the Seas Wow bands

[hazeleyes46]

Does anyone know where to get them when you get on the ship? Thank you.

Haven't seen or heard of them being available since before the pandemic.

I heard they are back and wanted to get them as soon as we could as they were great when we sailed on the Anthem years back.

We are on Oasis now and wow bands are available at guest services. I have seen many people wearing them.

Another agreement for Guest Services.

Can they be used to disembark and embark at ports? and are they good form ship to ship, like can I buy one and use it on my next cruise?

 

Thanks

No.

Reusability varies across the fleet.

I’ve been checking these for our November cruise. Cannot be used to disembark and embark at sites according to royal Caribbean website

Thank you!

You still need to use your SeaPass card for getting on and off the ship.  It's too bad that RC can't figure that out.  The Medallions on Princess work for EVERYTHING.  And I mean EVERYTHING.

 

I have ALWAYS been able to re-use my wow bands.

[hazeleyes46]

Thank you everyone. I guess that will be our first stop as it gets so busy there.

What a WOW band?

It's a rubber bracelet that allows you to get in your room and to charge anything you want. It is basically your room card but on your wrist. It is awesome, honestly. Loved it the last time we had it.

Thank you

I've also seen multiple posts about getting them at Boleros on the first day... I guess to alleviate some of the day one crowds at Guest services.

Granted its been 6 years since I was on The Anthem, but my experience was not great.  In 2018 everytime I tried to use the band to get a drink it did not work so I had to take it off.  I think it worked sporatically on opening the cabin door.   For those of you who have used these since, have they been perfected?  I have no problem paying for them, but Iwant them to work all the time not part of the time.

Mine works all the time.  You are referring, I think, to the fact that some bars' scanners don't reach to where you are sitting, so the wow band has to go to the scanner.

Did you originally have WOW band(s) with Muster Station?  If so, did they swap for plain band?

[Vacation...Yes]

Do the old wow bands from 2018 still work or do we need new ones?

It may vary slightly by ship, but they should either work or be able to be traded in for a new one.

Question If I buy the WOW band will my Sea pass card still work as well? I always seem to leave my Sea Pass card in cabin at least once a cruise and then have to go find my wife to get back in cabin. Good thing I know she is usually in casino and easy to find
