Do you use a lanyard for your sea pass?

[bar_20]

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

I think the idea is that many people don't want to carry a wallet and don't carry money with them around the ship. My wallet stays in the safe until I get to port.....there's nothing in there I need until then.

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.

Sometimes when we are on board we do. We don't on shore unless we are on one of the cruise line "private" islands.

If you're suggesting that wearing your card on a lanyard would allow people to know your cabin number, I don't think that cruise lines put the cabin number on the card, so that someone who finds your lost card cannot get into your cabin.

 

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").

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.

[Sandyagarcia]

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????

[CanuckonaBoat]

 

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.

Ditto x2. When I am on board, my Sea Pass is the only thing in my pocket.

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:

No lines that I know of just ask for your room number - they swipe your card! 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]

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.

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,

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.

11 Pages on laynards! Dare I ask about crocs on board a ship :eek:

[Cairobat]

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

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.

[tickford]

Oh and crocs on board, no, leave them home. ;)

[atate75]

Here is an alternative to a lanyard that you might like.

 

Retractable keychain!

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?

Hey - you are sailing soon!!! have a good trip. 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.

[griffy116]

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.

[gerryl12]

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.

[qosmo8]

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.
