Hurricane Girl Posted December 28, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2008 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!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted December 28, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knjfaith Posted December 28, 2008 #3 Share Posted December 28, 2008 does NCL put yer pic on the card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerintn Posted December 28, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2008 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.

garycarla Posted December 28, 2008 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2008 We have noticed that Cunard, Seabourn, Princess, Carnival and NCL all use pretty much the same type system. It works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teacherloves2Cruise Posted February 3, 2009 #10 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I noticed different passengers had different colored cards, some were pink, blue, and silver what do the colors mean? I also would like to know what the colors mean? Also, if you are latitudes member is it noted on your card? Thanks, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisnGram Posted February 3, 2009 #11 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I also would like to know what the colors mean? 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. Also, if you are latitudes member is it noted on your card? Yes Thanks, Brett You're welcome. CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
