Cruise lines now banning Note 7

It is going to be a long year with this phone

Galaxy Note 7 faces ban from Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line and others

To be clear they are banning the NON REPLACED/RECALLED Note 7s. Not ALL Note 7s. Those of us that exchanged and have the green icon should be perfectly fine according to the sign.

For now anyway ...

I love the Note 7. I just think with the new fire on the plane that things are not going to get any easier for those who love these phones.

Oh. Restricting. Not banning!

I don't see a big deal here. Just get a replacement and you would be fine.

This is such a mindless knee-jerk reaction. These cruise lines want everyone to turn off their phones, as if that's going to prevent a faulty battery from catching fire. And yet the phone on the Southwest flight was powered off at the time it went up. If a bad battery is going to go up, it's going to go up, regardless of the state of the power switch. :-!

As From a Buick 8 said, for now. Things change - we could eventually (in a few years, when the Note 7 battery thing happens across many manufacturers for a while) see a blanket ban on cellphones anywhere a burning phone could damage the ship/plane/store owner's property.

on the bright side this could result in a parody movie called Notes on A Plane.

It's just their way of being safe. Prevention is better than the cure. But the New note 7 with green battery icon are good to go.

Still trying to figure out how they can tell what type of phone tou have. They all look alike.

Except replacements are blowing up too. Keep up.
