Sail & Sign Cards

[Hurricane Girl]

I need to ask a question...Thanks in advance for any responses!!!

On Carnival we have s&s cards. The cards also get us on & off the ship at ports. Do NCL ships do this as well??

Just wondering..

Thanks!! :)

Yes, pretty much identical on NCL. You'll be issued a card at check-in that serves as your onboard charge card and room key. You will need this card to disembark and re-embark at each port.

does NCL put yer pic on the card?

no picture. However, they do take your picture when you check in and that picture comes up on the security computers when your card is swiped. Security people do a visual check between the picture and the person with the card. Your cabin number, of course, is also not on the card since it is a key card too.

We have noticed that Cunard, Seabourn, Princess, Carnival and NCL all use pretty much the same type system.

 

It works.

They really look at the picture on the screen and you, too!

Note: If you are wearing sunglasses when you get on the ship you, of course, have to remove them. So... off will come your prescription ones as well.

I noticed different passengers had different colored cards, some were pink, blue, and silver what do the colors mean?

Just to add to this: If you wear hat to the pier they require you to remove that when they take your picture....

I also would like to know what the colors mean?

 

Also, if you are latitudes member is it noted on your card?

 

Thanks, Brett

They used to be pretty random. Now however, there are specific colors for some specific catgories. I don't remember them all but Balcony is purple and suites and up are gold or silver. I believe that inside and maybe ocean view may be just random colors other then gold,purple and silver. I'm sure someone can be more detailed then I.

Yes

 

Thanks, Brett

 

You're welcome.
