Milwaukee Eight Posted July 26, 2017 #76 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Do you carry a cellphone or something magnetic in your pocket? Probably my cell so one more reason to wear my Gold, Plum, or Black card on our lanyard. Works great in the tender lines and on disembarkation on the smaller ships. Not to mention the lines at GS. Does that bother you ?? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodtime Cruizin Posted July 26, 2017 #77 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Please don't use a lanyard.It is a very bad look. Use a small keychain and keep it in your pocket. Depends on how you wear them. I accessorize with them bringing up to 5, sometimes 6 for color co- Ordinate my outfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums If you were asking me, no, I don't care if you use a lanyard. I only asked because my wife managed to get her Sea Pass erased because she used a purse with a magnetic clasp and/or sometimes stored it next to her cellphone. So she learned the hard way. I've always been careful not to put it in the same pocket as my phone. Though I would think it shouldn't be an issue with the RFID cards. But we've not been on a ship yet with those cards.

Sorry. I have been accused of erasing my card with my Cell Phone but generally after playing late in the Casino until closing and then unable to open my cabin. I can find GS and with new card find my way home. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixieh Posted July 27, 2017 Author #81 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Sorry I didn't realise what a controversial topic lanyards would be! I have loads from previous Disney cruises (where they are given out free at check in). I will bring some for the family. Really useful tip about the cards getting wiped by cellphones btw so thanks.

DirtyDawg Posted July 28, 2017 #87 Share Posted July 28, 2017 No one is bothered by it. We are trying to do you a favor by telling how ridiculous it looks. You should be thanking us..... As bad as fanny packs and muscle shirts? Sent from my SM-G920P using Forums mobile app LOL Brilliant response! :D:D But I have to admit I hate lanyards too. Maybe it's because one on the colleges I teach at make the faculty wear one everywhere on campus. Some of my shorts don't have pockets, so I can see the practicality of using a lanyard especially after the reaction the Lido deck waiter had when I fished my sea-pass card out of my crotch.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nothing. It is very tame discussion by CC standards. If you want to really stir things up, you can ask few new questions that have more firework potential. Few topic suggestions to get you started: 1 – Why can’t the slob cruisers dress better on formal nights? 2 – Do I really have to tip the workers? 3 – Should Royal have bathrooms to accommodate transgender cruisers? Light the match with these topics and RUN AWAY really fast to observe from a distance…;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinlady1947 Posted July 28, 2017 #100 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Please don't use a lanyard.It is a very bad look. Use a small keychain and keep it in your pocket. I have a clear plastic card holder that clips on your waistband. It has a rewinding string that goes back in place after pulling your card out and back in. I love it. It is usually hidden under my tops, even on dressy tops. It's a nice alternative to the neck lanyard. I bought it in the shop on board the ship.
