bar_20 Posted March 23, 2014 #201 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Put it in your wallet or where you keep your money. It's credit card size and fits in my wallet, Besides some cruise lines just ask for your room number and you don't want someone stealing your room number and using it to make purchases on the ship Sent from my Commodore 64 using VIC modem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calliopecruiser Posted March 23, 2014 #202 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Put it in your wallet or where you keep your money.

My wallet stays in the safe until I get to port.....there's nothing in there I need until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenjay1210 Posted March 23, 2014 #204 Share Posted March 23, 2014 We use lanyards. In port we put them in our backpack that we bring but on the ship we all have them. At night I won't wear one and my husband will bring his and have in his pocket. My swimsuit and shorts don't always have pockets and I find the lanyard easy. I'm surprised at all the opinions on this in our experience most of the folks had lanyards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14Terry Posted March 23, 2014 #205 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Sometimes when we are on board we do. We don't on shore unless we are on one of the cruise line "private" islands. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Cruise Critic lanard (available here) and find it very handy. I've even had some odd comments from people who see me wearing it (who did not know what CC is, one said "so you're the cruise critic").

GORDONCHICK Posted April 22, 2014 #207 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The first 6 or 7 cruises - no lanyard. But I have for the last few because what I'm wearing doesn't always have pockets. I never wear the lanyard while in port. Oh, and I have a sparkly one for evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandyagarcia Posted April 22, 2014 #208 Share Posted April 22, 2014 OMG!! I have one and wear it all the time... A lot easier when you don't have pockets !! Just don't use it when you are on Ports... But who are you kidding,even without one we ALL look like tourist !!!!! Seriously people???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckonaBoat Posted April 22, 2014 #209 Share Posted April 22, 2014 i was going to use one of these instead of a lanyard. might get one with a clip so that I can also clip to my belt loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquahound Posted April 22, 2014 #211 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Besides some cruise lines just ask for your room number and you don't want someone stealing your room number and using it to make purchases on the ship That doesn't make any sense. If someone wanted to use someone else's room number, they would just say any random number. Besides, what cruise line makes charges by only asking for a room number? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one, there can be multiple people in a cabin but on different accounts. Also, my key cards/seapass doesn't have my room number on it anyway!

suzski Posted April 22, 2014 #213 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) I'm thinking lanyards will work for us and the kids. Do they come with the little plastic holder into which you just slip your card? Or does the cruise line punch a hole in your card so you can attach it, key ring style? Thanks! I have a lanyard that I use every cruise and I just go to the Casino and have them punch a hole in my sign and sail card....then slide it on the lanyard. I'm not a cruise newbie, but I like knowing where my cruise card is and as a woman I'm not always walking around in an outfit that has pockets. Depending on the outfit, however, I'll tuck the lanyard inside my shirt. When I go ashore I'll stick the lanyard inside whatever bag I'm carrying that day as I won't be needing it until it's time to go back aboard.

CARALOU20 Posted April 23, 2014 #214 Share Posted April 23, 2014 We bought these little credit card sized waterproof cases. They worked great for the kids as they fit into the swimsuit pockets or on their belt loop when wearing pants. I loved it as I could take it ashore with just a piece of ID, a credit card and some cash and could also have is with me at all times. Water, beach or shopping. Bought them on ebay I think, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradiscroozin Posted April 25, 2014 #215 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I use a lanyard but only on the ship. I am always in a bathing suit with a cover upon for most of the day and it's just convenient. When I get off the ship it goes in my tote bag. I never bring the cruise towels off with me either. I love seeing all the beach vendors bugging the cruise people and not the people without the towels. It saves me the headache just packing 2 beach towels of our own.

Cairobat Posted May 5, 2014 #217 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) I'm a noob, but I'm definitely planning to use a lanyard. I don't always have pockets, and even if I do, I can't count the times I've lost stuff out of them. Not too worried about looking like a tourist - I doubt it can be avoided, even with my cruise card in my purse. And I'm pretty sure that I'll look like a noob regardless of my lanyard, too. I'm handy with a needle & thread, so maybe I'll make my own. If I'm gonna look like a dork anyway, I may as well customize it and *own* it! :D Edited May 5, 2014 by Cairobat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickford Posted May 5, 2014 #218 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Well that's it, from reading this thread I've learnt you can get "bling" lanyards and I am going to get me one.:D and will get a 2nd one for my friend.:D I wear them for the convenience and worried if in my pocket it would be my luck to loose it. I always lug around a handbag whenever I go anywhere and this is my chance to jettison it. I really do not care what others think, I do not care that others see the "lowly" gold status, I do not care if they presume I am a newbie. We do not wear them in port, that would be silly.

Sent from my iPad using Forums We had thought about this, I even started a thread about sea cards. Only thing with this is - don't you have to hand your card over to get scanned when getting drinks? Or are you just unclipping it from somewhere and then reclipping it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree about looking like a tourist AND a noob on my 1st cruise. I'm proud to be both. Its about time. So yes on the lanyard - don't have pockets in most things and not going to carry a purse on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted May 7, 2014 #223 Share Posted May 7, 2014 16th cruise coming up in June. We didn't use lanyards for the first few. Now we don't go without them. I go for convenience, and if I look like this is my first cruise, and that I'm a tourist, it's probably because I'm constantly smiling, just happy to be on the ship, taking lots of pictures, wearing a lanyard that's okay by me. When I stop enjoying the cruise experience as much as the first time I cruised, I'll find another form of vacationing. If you are cruising to impress someone, is it the waiter? Other cruisers? Captain? Rarely, if ever do you see these people again in your life. We're there to enjoy, not impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryl12 Posted May 8, 2014 #224 Share Posted May 8, 2014 We use lanyards most of the time on a cruise (NOT at the supper table). Who cares what others busy bodies think! I may not like their attitude or the car they drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qosmo8 Posted May 9, 2014 #225 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I wear 1 i'm proud to say and i think it looks better than the dudes pulling their wallets out to get to their card, or from the oh so cool fanny packs many wear(ya you know who you are) but seriously to each their own. I may get 1 that attaches to my pants this year, because i have seen too many lose their cards so i like the convenience and the security. I can't imagine people really judging someone wearing a lanyard, i wonder what you think of all the old fat people in bathing suits on their 3rd trip to the buffet and then there's watching some of you, ok ALOT of you trying to dance, ya all of that is way cooler and more acceptable than my laynard. But its a cruise have a drink and don't care about nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
