Lifesaver1984 Posted March 21, 2017 #26 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Don't wear Lanyards.It is a very bad look....... My first cruise I went lanyard-less for the first 3 days. Spent most of my time triple checking my shorts pockets to make sure it hadn't fallen out (which it had done on a number of occasions). Bought a lanyard after that and now I have no worries. Clip off for the bar staff and then clip back on. Oh, and when I'm back in the room it hangs on one of the coat hooks by the door so I never have to wonder where I left it.

Ken at the beach Posted March 21, 2017 #27 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I prefer to not have the bulky plastic cardholder. I have had them punch a hole in my card that doesn't effect the magnetic strip for years. Who has had trouble with them punching a hole in the card. I wear a slim cord that I attach my card to....... please tell me I won't have to wear a suitcase around my neck ;p I do not have hubby carry my card so if it isn't hanging on my neck I am not spending money. It is only on Harmony and Quantum class ships that they won't punch a hole in your Seapass card as the cards use RFID instead of a magnetic strip.

Clarea Posted March 21, 2017 #28 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It is only on Harmony and Quantum class ships that they won't punch a hole in your Seapass card as the cards use RFID instead of a magnetic strip. I thought I read that they still do it, but it takes some skill to put the hole in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBfromOz Posted March 21, 2017 #29 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I thought I read that they still do it, but it takes some skill to put the hole in the right place. Sailed on Ovation in January and cards came with the hole pre-punched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great way to keep track of your card, and you don't have to wear the lanyard. My Cruise Critic lanyard is a must pack item. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grand isle joe Posted March 21, 2017 #31 Share Posted March 21, 2017 My first cruise I went lanyard-less for the first 3 days. Spent most of my time triple checking my shorts pockets to make sure it hadn't fallen out (which it had done on a number of occasions). ......I had the same fear when I parade about in my SPEEDO!:eek: Sometimes it slips out of the waistband. And then it leaves a nasty light spot on my skin where it blocks the sun from my tanning body.......Oh the trouble those darn cards make.....;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted March 21, 2017 #32 Share Posted March 21, 2017 lanyards scream tourist. Will never wear one Because the rest of what you wear lets you blend in so nicely to the locals. No tip off's at all. We also have plenty of lanyards from home, and we recently got the pouch ones for the newer ships. It's not as if they take up any packing space. For the OP- presumably, you have some Disney ones- use them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DivaMI Posted March 21, 2017 #34 Share Posted March 21, 2017 everyone on the ship minus the staffs is a tourist. I hate to tell you this but the staff are tourist also. Unless they live in the country you are docked at and most of them do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjaden Posted March 21, 2017 #35 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I always take a lanyard to use on the ship. It's convenient and I always know where it is. I don't generally carry a purse. I do not wear it to dinner or off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa8 Posted March 21, 2017 #36 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I hate to tell you this but the staff are tourist also. Unless they live in the country you are docked at and most of them do not. But they're working, not traveling as a tourist. Big difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bette And Bill Posted March 21, 2017 #38 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I also wear a lanyard while on the ship and off the ship. I normally do not have pockets nor on board do I want to lug around a purse. I had to wear one when I worked to get in and out of secured doors. If you look at the locals many of them are also wearing lanyards or wrist bands with their work id's. It's just what you get use to and what you prefer.

impatientlywaiting Posted March 21, 2017 #39 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Don't wear Lanyards.It is a very bad look....... Apparently there are a lot of us with very bad looks! We wear our seapass cards on our lanyards so we don't have to carry a purse around on the ship. IMO that's ridiculous. When I'm off the ship, I put my lanyard inside my clothes and nobody knows I'm off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
