Royal Caribbean tests charging for RFID WOWband bracelets on Anthem of the Seas

In a reversal of policy, Royal Caribbean has begun charging $4.99 for its new RFID bracelets, known as WOWbands, on Anthem of the Seas. Guests aboard the first commercially available Anthem of the Seas sailing this week discovered Royal Caribbean is now charging for the WOWbands, although WOWbands are still complimentary for suite guests. Guests may purchase WOWbands at Guest Services and purchased WOWbands are reusable on future cruises.
