On the Carnival Vista your room key otherwise known as your sail and sign
card serves a variety of functions you can first find it inside of an envelope
in the mail slot just underneath the room number placard for your stateroom
you can remove the envelope take the card out of the envelope and then you
should be able to access your stateroom using the card insert remove the green
light indicates that it's worked and you can go in now please note this is a
little different from some of the other Vista class vessels particularly the
panorama has a prox card system where you only need to tap the card but here
on the Carnival Vista you actually need to insert the card now once inside the
room your lights will likely be off this brings us to the second function of the
sail and sign card onboard the Carnival Vista it is also used to activate the
lights in your room simply insert the card into the receptacle just above the
light switch just inside the door and then you will be able to control the
lights using the switches now this can be a little inconvenient so you can use
an alternative to your sail and sign card to keep the lights on
here's a little trick that many stateroom stewards frequently use fold
up any piece of paper to the appropriate size stick it into the receptacle and
that will keep the lights on for you without having to commit your sail and
sign card because your sail and sign card actually does a whole lot of things
for you on board the ship for one thing it indicates your muster station in this
case my muster station is d3 you can also locate your muster station from the
information card on the back of your stateroom door your sail and sign card
also has a folio number that folio number is used to log into the Carnival
Hub app so that the app knows who you are and you can use the app to chat with
other people for a $5 per cruise fee or some free functions such as using it to
book your time dining, check out different events, build an itinerary for yourself
and you can even use it to book excursions. Mister Elefante here also
knows the other functions of the sail and sign card whenever you want to leave
or return to the ship in Port your sail and sign card needs to be scanned so the
crew can keep track of whether you've returned to the ship or not additionally
this is your primary method of payment for almost all things on the ship
including ordering drinks paying for reservation at a specialty restaurant
things of that nature also booking excursions so the sail and sign card is
actually pretty important and very useful on your Carnival Vista cruise if
something appears to have gone wrong with your sail and sign card it's no
problem just take it to guest services which is located on Deck 3 forward on
the Carnival Vista and they can see about correcting whatever errors there
may be or reissuing you a card when I got on board the Carnival Vista
even though this was my 23rd cruise there was a blue cart waiting for me
which would indicate a first ever cruise and so I went down to guest services
which is Dec 3 forward and that's where you'll go if you have any issues with
your sail and sign card and they can easily correct it for you quickly within five
minutes I had my Platinum Card issued and everything was fine it turns out
that they had made a mistake about my birthday or something but it was very
easy to get corrected so it's important to make sure that your sail and sign
card is set up properly otherwise you could have issues paying for things
getting on and off the ship or accessing your room did we miss any important
functions about the sail and sign card? If so it's Mr. Elefante here's fault
but please comment below what else can you use your sail inside card for let us
know and how do you keep track of your sail and sign card are you a lanyard
person? Do you put it in a pouch your wallet your pocket where do you keep your sail
and sign card that's our question of the day thanks for watching this brief
tutorial it's one of our Carnival Cruise basics videos we have a bunch more on
the channel here so I recommend that you subscribe and if you found this video
helpful at all give it a thumbs up so that other people can find it too, the more
we all know about cruising the more we can focus our time on having fun on our
vacation instead of figuring out those little details like how to use your room
key and all the things that it's good for so thanks for watching and we'll see
you in the next video
