shipmate13 Posted September 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Has Royal Caribbean changed recently about giving lanyards and pins to returning Crown and Anchor Members? They use to have them in the room upon your arrival. My daughter just came off the Allure of the Seas and this is her 4th cruise aboard Royal Caribbean and she said that they didn't have them in the room like previous cruises.

I have NEVER been offered a lanyard by Royal Caribbean. At ANY level of C&A status. They DO give them to kids in Adventure Ocean. Pins are presented when you achieve a new level. On a 4th cruise, you are not reaching a new level, usually. (have you been cruising in suites?) Edited September 22, 2014 by Merion_Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipmate13 Posted September 22, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted September 22, 2014 No, never a fortunate one for a suite. The last two Royal Caribbean Cruises we have been on we had lanyards in our room along with pins. Maybe I was just lucky I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking about Adventure Ocean stuff, perhaps, and not adult stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerif Posted September 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2014 We've never gotten lanyards even in a suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted September 22, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2014 No lanyards, except for our son at Kids Club. Did get Platinum pins a few cruises back but nothing on an "every cruise" basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted September 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2014 No lanyards for us either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted September 22, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2014 They do sell the lanyards in the giftshop, but we never found any in our cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted September 22, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 22, 2014 No lanyard or any type of standard pin for us either. OP - are you sure it was RCCL? M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folk Singer Posted September 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 22, 2014 We've never gotten lanyards even in a suite. We never had either. Finally got a pin for emerald when we had already been diamond status for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeySailor Posted September 22, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Can confirm kids do get lanyards. These are distributed at the AO when they sign up, we have never had them in the room, but DD has always been given one on registration into club. Happy Days!

MICHLEV1974 Posted September 22, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 22, 2014 is it possible your travel agent sent them to your cabin as a gift? i have sailed 4 times with RCI and have not received anything either but my son has 4 lanyards from AO club.

cbkb101 Posted September 22, 2014 #16 Share Posted September 22, 2014 They do sell the lanyards in the giftshop, but we never found any in our cabin.

ahecht Posted September 22, 2014 #17 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Royal Caribbean gave out lanyards as a gift at a Meet and Mingle, but I've never gotten them in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano Posted September 22, 2014 #18 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Newbie question here, why would one use a lanyard? Again, new, have our very first cruise booked in January. Some people have Guest Services punch a hole in their Seapass and they wear it on a lanyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted September 22, 2014 #19 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Newbie question here, why would one use a lanyard? Again, new, have our very first cruise booked in January. People use them to carry their sea pass card. I never use them and think it makes you look like you are at a convention. However it seems that many passengers like them so it is a personal choice.

scooter90 Posted September 22, 2014 #20 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Never got a pin when we turn Platinum or Emerald...not sure we would utilize it anyway. I recently purchased (5) sequined lanyards from Amazon for my granddaughters who are cruising next summer. I figured they can mix/match to their outfits. I think the lanyards are a great idea for kids....and my DH who tends to lose things. ;) But...have never gotten one from Royal or C & A on any of our cruises.

PokrChick Posted September 22, 2014 #21 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Newbie question here, why would one use a lanyard? Again, new, have our very first cruise booked in January. I always get my card punched and wear it on a lanyard. I rarely have pockets so this way I don't have to worry about carrying my card. Also, I wear a lanyard and badge every day at work so I'm used to having it around my neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impatientlywaiting Posted September 22, 2014 #25 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I have Guest Services punch a hole in my Seapass card and attach it to my Seattle Seahawks lanyard! I don't carry a purse and usually don't have a pocket so this works great for me! If we're on an excursion, I just tuck the lanyard inside my shirt, or jacket depending on the weather, and never have to worry about it. Plus, with it on a lanyard it's not stuck inside a purse or bag next to my cell phone which will demagnetize the card! I have the Platinum and Emerald pins. In the middle of our last cruise we passed on up to Diamond status but I won't receive my pin until we board the Jewel next September. The two pins I have were in our cabin when we checked in the first day. I wear them on my Royal Caribbean sweatshirt. :D Edited September 22, 2014 by impatientlywaiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
