Does the Ruby give passengers a lanyard for their cruise card?

[mycruz]

No, but they will sell you one in the shop shortly after setting sail! :)

No but you can buy one in the gift shop or pick one up in Staples for a couple of dollars. If you buy it on the ship they will punch a hole in it for you.

[paul929207]

Sometimes they are prizes at some of the games.

[Tedferg]

2 little time, will they not punch a hole if you bring your own lanyard ?

I seem to remember they were $10 or so when we sailed Princess five years ago. I bought at Staples as you suggested.

[topspot]

Yes, they will punch a hole in your card if you bring your own lanyard. We bring our own and have never been refused. Just to Pursers desk

[Tedferg]

Thanks Topspot - funny how we spend thousands of $$ on a cruise and fuss over little details :)

Lanyards are $3.95 in the gift shop. You can also pick them up at the Dollar Tree, Walmart etc.

[Cruisematic]

You can pick one up at the Casino for free, unless they changed their policy.

we got free layards on the Crown past week in the casino... they were the coiled type, not the cloth type. We have gotten them before on the Ruby and other Princess ships...always in the casino.

I use a Witz box http://www.witzsportcases.com/see-it-safe.html I can tuck in some bills for the casino, my cruise card, ID, etc. Supposedly waterproof for the beach but I've never tested it.

Have used them a lot in water. Always have been water safe. As long as there is no cracks in plastic.

The ones at Walmart are just a couple of bucks and you can get the plastic sleeves in their stationery department. We used some of the sleeves for our luggage tags too.

Does the wiz holder hold a passport?

Thank you, Seadeck2

I bought one on here, Cruise Critic. It comes with a plastic holder for the S&S card or you can use the ring with the hole punched. The biggest plus is that it separates near the bottom, which eliminates the need to continuing to pull the lanyard over your head to give to the server or bar keep.

I use this and it has a zipper part that will hold tissues (I tend to sneeze from scent allergies) and a few "bills" too:

We just got off the CB 3 weeks ago. They do not sell the cloth lanyards on that ship. The Princess one I have was looking a little haggard & wanted to get a new one. But I don't know about other ships.

The whole card on a lanyard around your neck seems so "tourist" to me. Not unlike the more senior travelers I see in airports with ticket holders hanging around their necks.

 

Put it in your pocket, beach bag, whatever. Save the lanyard for your keys at home.;)

[timetravler]

I have several lanyards, but my fav is one I got at a ski resort. It has a elastic pull thing on the end. So when you clip your cruise card on it, you can pull it another 2 feet at least so no need to strangle yourself running it through the scanner. BTW, what I have found is not only will the pursers desk punch a hole in your cruise card, but the gift shop will do it too.

Absolutely. We all blend in so well with the locals, it is a shame to wear a lanyard and send up the tourist flag. We are all of the same racial group as the locals. We all speak the same language with the same accent as the locals. And like them, we wear bermuda shorts, college or professional team t-shirts and baseball caps.

When I sit by the pool or walk around the ship I don't have pockets and don't carry a purse. I have a lanyard that the ring clips off so you don't have to take it off over your head.

It reminds me too much of work - which I'm trying to get away from :D - where I always have to wear an ID card around my neck!

Check out their site, they do have a size that fits passports as well as sizes for glasses, first aid kits, and larger cases too. I just ordered a couple of the small ones and we'll see how they work this year. I'll still use my pockets to hold them but I like the non crush waterproof function. Ship card, license, credit card, a few bandaids and some aspirin and I'm all ready for my port exploring. :D

What most [/url] look like on vacation. All they need is a fanny pack to complete the outfit. :D

[Putterdude]

I don't care for lanyards and instead use a blue leather card case that Celebrity gave me a few years ago, in one section I keep my cruise card and coffee card and the other some calling cards, When going ashore I can put a few bills in it, my DL and a CC.....heck I have even been known to have in my pocket when going in the pool which always proves to be a bad idea.:o

DW uses one of the folding pouches that you can buy in the gift shop.
