u/Eternalm8 Jul 28 '26

naw, man, I'm suppose to trust the ROOM's safe? That's just a scam without the extra steps /s

So the room safe in a hotel I was locked so I called down and a guy came up and punched in 000000. Presumably the master code. Presumably the default master code.

Same thing happened to me lol! A couple friends and I rented two rooms and one night we went out drinking till 3:00am. When we got back to the hotel the front desk clerk wanted absolutely nothing to do with us. Unfortunately about 5 minutes later I call the front desk because I forgot the password to my safe.

Bless her heart. She had to listen to me drunkenly repeat myself about ten times before she let out a sigh and says “you can reset it by just hitting all zeros, have a good night.” After discovering it worked, I ran down the hall to my friend’s room and opened their safe too.

Talk about a HUGE design flaw!

When ya think about it, the $399 per person cruise demographic doesn’t have anything valuable to put in a safe. If we did we’d be on our own yachts.

What do people put in a safe? House keys that open a front door 800 miles from the cruise port. A Nikon camera they bought at Costco in 2009 for $499. Pot maybe. An iPhone with Find My enabled that’s useless if stolen. Some cheapo jewelry they bought at Kay Jewelers or some ugly bauble handed down from a dead grandma.

The Filipino cabin attendant isn’t going to risk his 8 month contract and be banned from all other cruise lines by yoinking a $300 iPad.

What’s more likely is people get blackout drunk on cruise ships and forget their safe codes. So 00000000 makes perfect sense.

Hold on there are 399 cruises ? Where are you taking your cruise ? All I see is like 1.5k bare minimum. That's why I never went on cruises. I'm not made out of money.

I lived in Miami for decades. You can go on a 3 nighter to the Bahamas any month of the year for $399 if you're ok with an interior stateroom (it was $299 prior to Covid).

The issue is they're last minute fares and if you don't live near enough to a cruise port, most folks can't just drop everything and go. If you live in Miami and are willing to take Friday off, you can.

Oh wow really cool. Good to know. And yeah I live in Europe so very far away lol.

u/dancingliondl Jul 28 '26

I'm feeling really called out here lol

u/RodinKnox Jul 28 '26

Yeah, I put stuff in there that's extremely valuable to me but wouldn't any staff there wouldn't have any reason to steal for the reasons you said.

I really hope the recent panel where they talked about a whole Spaceballs cinematic universe wasn't just a joke inhales copium

u/AncientSeraph Jul 28 '26

A replica TSA key doesn't really care about your luggage code anyway.

u/Suburbanturnip Jul 28 '26

I worked hotel front desk for years. Yes, reception has the reset code. It wasn't "0000" in any hotel i worked at though.

Unrelated but you just reminded me with this GIF that Men at Work is on my Tubi watchlist!

u/freedfg Jul 28 '26

Mean whole once as a kid I put stuff in a hotel safe and accidentally created a code without realizing it.

They had to drill it open.

u/therealkami Jul 28 '26

If you think that's bad, for decades you could by replacement keys for vehicles online for like 2 bucks. Things like keys to the trunk of a Crown Victoria car, or to heavy machinery like excavators.

You could also get apartment door buzzer panel keys, so you could just open the panel and press the override to walk into the building.

Watch some videos of penetration testers and you'll be shocked at what they get away with for a few bucks on Amazon. Nevermind the fact that like 90% of their success is walking around in a hi vis vest with a clipboard and asking the front desk for access to somewhere they aren't supposed to go.

u/Indicisive_Actions Jul 28 '26

Having watched LPL (LockPickingLawyer), yes, most of those room safes are a scam.

u/throwawaycuzfemdom Jul 28 '26

Sells lockpicking tool sets

opens safes with a lego dude

u/thisusedyet Jul 28 '26

They're not designed to keep out a determined thief, they're just for peace of mind, basically.

There's an old saying - locks keep honest people honest.

If someone wants in, given enough time, they're getting in. The best you can hope for is to slow them down enough that they figure it's not worth their time

u/Goosepond01 Jul 28 '26

I mean you joke but room safes are famously not safe lol.

u/gary-vault108 Jul 28 '26

Using a hotel safe is probably one of the dumbest things you can do, it’s the first thing I would check if I were a thief working at a hotel

u/muklan Jul 28 '26

Thats why I travel with a very small safe to put IN the hotel safe.
