RCCL SeaPass card to override the on/off control of your cabin A/C

[Host Mike]

   "When you leave your cabin and walk off the ship for a shore excursion, the ship's computer will detect when the last person scans their SeaPass card upon disembarkation and at that point, the air conditioning will go into eco mode since no one is on the ship to need it maintained.

    As soon as the first person booked in the cabin scans their SeaPass card coming back onboard the ship, eco mode turns off, and the air conditioning turns back on to the previous setting."

Oh, that's just great. Now my room heats up to 90 degrees when I'm gone & probably takes 3 or 4 hours to cool off again when I return.
We've sailed on some older ships where the AC could hardly cool off the room running 24 hours a day.
