Talk:Cruise ship ID card

Untitled
Main article states that ID card needed to exit ship. Question arises, what if that card is unavailable at point of final debarkation? Surely the guest does not then become a permanent resident!

 * If you lose it, you ask the ship staff for a new one and they give it to you. It has happened to me multiple times before. But I never thought it needed to be in the article.Sebwite (talk) 03:03, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Either Bar code or magnetic strip? Really? No smart-card or RFID? I doubt that. 85.177.160.82 (talk) 14:55, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Depends on the ship. AIDA (all ships older than AIDAstella) for example uses bar code for embarcation/disembarcation scans and magnetic stripe for POS/cabin door. With AIDAstella (2013) they introduced RFID. I think it is quite expensive to change thousands (think about the number of cabins) of door locks + POS readers to a different system so it is not done unless a ship is completely remodeled or the technology that was used is no longer available.145.253.240.222 (talk) 12:17, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Seriously?
Does this really warrant its own article? Especially when it has only one reference? --The Vital One (talk) 15:27, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
