Sungold Posted March 26, 2017 #126 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I have bought nice lanyards in the gift shops for about $10. I don't get holes punched in my cards, I get the lanyards with the rectangular clear plastic holder attached. I put my ship card & driver's license in them, so they are handy when returning from a port. Depending on the port, I may put the whole thing in my purse or beach bag. If I'm dressed for dinner it goes in my dressier purse. Never thought it was tacky, but whatever...different strokes for different folks.

sandyh85 Posted March 26, 2017 #128 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I let it up to my husband to carry the cards...but in all seriousness, no lanyards for us (yuck)....pockets and if no pockets, then stuff them somewhere...top, bottom...where ever ;) "Stuff them somewhere" is far more "yuck" to me than a lanyard. But to each their own Personally, I will often carry mine tucked between the pages of a book. When I sail solo, and even when I'm with friends/family, I am rarely seen without a book. This thread makes me want to find a cute jewelled one for my upcoming trip though... I've got some ideas where to shop too! Thanks all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auntieshoes Posted March 26, 2017 #129 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I wear mine during the day and have some fancy lanyards. However I was happy to use the free casino one on our last Carnival cruise and I just unclipped it night if I carried a wristlet. I think it's part of the fun of cruising, and I guess I don't care if people think I'm a dork. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPfromCT Posted March 26, 2017 #132 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I wear a Carnival lanyard and could really care less what people think about it. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23].

aamato27 Posted March 26, 2017 #135 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Guess it depends where you look. On our Disney cruise and Oasis cruise it seemed like nearly everyone used lanyards. Disney gives them to you on your second trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onagh Posted March 26, 2017 #136 Share Posted March 26, 2017 To settle this right now: you can take my lanyard from my cold dead hands! That Cruise Card regardless of Cruise Line, remains permanently attached to my body at all times. I can't wait for Medallion Class and Wrist bands, I will be completely at ease with that model! There is a reason I exclusively Cruise: SAFETY. They take care of me. Period. I make it easy on the Cruise Personnel to do their jobs by keeping that thing attached. No. Matter. What. Hub App: I leave 4/1 for Mexican Riviera and am very disappointed to read the surcharge for chat. Princess Crand Panama Canal Adventure has free app with free chat and fully interactive Customer Portfolio and Event and Excursion interfaces. Boo. Hopefully the Hub will provide some value. Every one have fun! Sparkly jeweled bedazzled glittered lanyards RULE!!!! PS not true on Sr stereotypes I literally will turn 50 on my 4th Cruise!!

MJSailors Posted March 26, 2017 #137 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I don't wear one. Its kinda tacky to me imo. I dont wear my credit cards and debit cards around my neck so why would i with my s&s card? Seems kinda juvenile imo. No offense to people who do it, just not for me Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using Forums mobile app IMHO,I have to agree. Also,if the lanyard is worn out of the port area,it can be a tip off as to being a tourist... that and the bags given to passengers by the cruise line or the striped beach towels.

juanfromdc Posted March 26, 2017 #138 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Buy in advance on Amazon for much cheaper than on the cruise. Definitely get one that has a detachable clip as well as a key ring type. At guest services on the ship they can hole punch the card. You don't want it in a sleeve as it easily comes out and gets lost. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandakate42 Posted March 27, 2017 #139 Share Posted March 27, 2017 That looks like it would hurt your neck. I'm sure it would be pretty painful for your neck, that's why I wear it on my wrist ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmomgwen Posted March 27, 2017 #140 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I bought four lanyards on line. Lightweight, they say Carnival. We used lanyard on other cruises with a hole punched in the card. No problems, no sore neck. Sent from my XT1080 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchell Posted March 27, 2017 #141 Share Posted March 27, 2017 A girlfriend of mine made me a lovely beaded lanyard along with matching anklet - instant jewelry! What's really nice is that it is long enough that I can show it to the waiters, and often unlock my door, without having to take it off or get real close. We were given the free ones from the casino one cruise and one broke almost immediately. I would not trust those for your S&S card unless you have no issues with standing in line at guest services to get a new card once the lanyard breaks and you lose your card. Elegant nights I do have a small hand purse to carry my card in. I always feel a bit silly with a purse for nothing but the card, but much less likely for me to lose it that way.

TejasPenguin Posted March 27, 2017 #142 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I don't like wearing a lanyard around my neck so if I'm not wearing something with a pocket I stick it in my bra or swim suit top. It's surprisingly efficient. Really! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted March 27, 2017 #143 Share Posted March 27, 2017 You can get them for free in the casino, but I have one that I purchased, which keeps my S&S card, ID, and a little cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrythm Posted March 28, 2017 #144 Share Posted March 28, 2017 My travel clothes have pockets, so I don't have to worry about carrying a purse. I keep my sign & sail in my pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotericisis Posted March 28, 2017 #145 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I use a little wristlet purse for my phone and lanyard since my daytime cruise wear consists of beach gear or excercise gear. For my s&s card I use a wristlet coil landyard so it can just stay on my wrist. Its really convenient if I'm going somewhere in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august1963 Posted March 28, 2017 #147 Share Posted March 28, 2017 With Carnival the Hub app is only $5/device for the chat feature for the duration of your cruise to talk to other people in your family/party. I think most families/ Carnival cruisers want their phones now to communicate with others in their party. That said, they should also enable the Hub app so you can pay with it. Just like Samsung Pay or Apple Pay or any other card service. I have several of my credit cards on my phone, my Kroger card, my Sheetz card, etc. I use my phone to pay with a lot of stuff. It would be nice if that would be an option as well in addition to the other methods mentioned. Pay for everything on the ship, open your door, etc with your phone! Could you please tell a little more about this app? We always turn our phones off when we get on the cruise so we don't incur any large fees. However, we would love to keep in touch with our 18-year-old daughter while on board...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc4125 Posted March 28, 2017 #148 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I always use the one from the casino but not around my neck. Most of my pants have belt loops, so I attach it to my belt loop and then put it in my pocket. I spend quite a bit of time in the casino and this helps me not to forget my card in a machine. The problem comes when I'm not wearing pants. I don't wear it around my neck because it would bug me. So when not wearing pants, I have to carry a small bag. This year I've decided to order one of the beaded necklace type lanyard & hope that with a magnet closure it will be convenient to unlatch to open the cabin door or place in a slot machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chezlou Posted March 29, 2017 #149 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I don't like carrying anything while on board so I do the lanyard. You don"t need a credit cards but I carry my phone sometimes for photos etc, but I just hold it. So go with what works for you!
