What is a WOWband?
Worn on the wrist, WOWbands are bracelets that come in a variety of colors that allows passengers to connect with a number of Royal Caribbean experiences.
You can use your WOWband to enter your stateroom, purchase beverages, merchandise and anything else Royal Caribbean sells. They can also access the Suite Lounge or Crown and Anchor Diamond Lounge.
Because you can wear your WOWband on your wrist, you do not have to bring your SeaPass card along anymore and this frees you up from trying to find the SeaPass card when you need it. Just like the SeaPass card, you will not need cash or other credit cards because all charges go right to your SeaPass account.
What does a WOWband look like?
WOWbands are silicone bracelets that come in a variety of colors: white, yellow, black and blue.
How does it work?
WOWbands use Radio Frequency (RF) technology that can be read by Royal Caribbean's readers that are found at kiosks, tablets and mobile scanners that Royal Caribbean crew operate.
Your WOWband is linked to your SeaPass account and holds all of your information related to your cruise vacation such as your stateroom information, dining reservations and more.
Who can use a WOWband?
Any Royal Caribbean cruise passenger can use a WOWband, but they are optional. You can still use SeaPass cards in conjunction with or in lieu of, WOWbands.
How do I get a WOWband?
WOWbands may be purchased onboard your ship for $4.95 each. They can be purchased at anytime from Guest Relations, although on embarkation day there may be a specified distribution point.
Guests staying in a suite will find a WOWband for everyone in that stateroom. They are already activated and ready for use as soon as you get it.
How much do WOWbands cost?
Royal Caribbean charges $4.99 for each WOWband.
Guests in Grand Suites and above (Golden Suites & Royal Premiere for Spectrum of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas) will continue to receive the WOW Bands in their staterooms at no charge.
What if I don't want to use a WOWband?
WOWbands are optional and you may keep your SeaPass card instead to use. Even if you get the WOWband, you can use both.
Royal Caribbean is encouraging all guests to use WOWbands but they are not required.
