are you still allowed to punch a hole in your cruise card to attach a lanyard?

[BoopTennis]

Just wondering, i think i have seen a couple different opinions on this. thank u

[JF - retired RRT]

Yes. Did it on the Star in November.

[culvercitycruiser]

They did it for me earlier this month on the Ruby. I have my Princess lanyard from my first cruise in 2004.

The Passenger Service desk did it for us on the Royal back in December. You have to careful where you punch it. Better to let them do it

It's the Regal where they aren't punching holes in the new cards because they are RIFD cards with the new medallion program. They have us a plastic sleeve from Staples to hang on the lanyard carry our card in along with our medallion.

I am guessing that those yet participating in the ***** experience will be issued the standard cruise card that can be punched if using a lanyard. Just to be safe, I am packing some card holder sleeves that can be used with a lanyard for our upcoming late February voyage on the Regal and be in good shape for our December voyage on her.

I haven't used a lanyard in awhile, but I noticed that my cruise card on my recent Grand cruise came with a hole already punched. Interesting.

They punched a hole for me at customer service on the Emerald two weeks ago. Although I rarely use a lanyard, it helps when doing my daily walk and have no pockets.

We were on the pre-inaugural of the Majestic and not allowed to have holes punched in our cards. Has to get a plastic wallet to attach to the lanyards.

They said it was due to the new technology that they were now using.

We disembarked Regal on 12/3 and were not in an ***** cabin and they would not punch my card as they are all the new cards that will malfunction if tampered with!

With all the problems reported with the implementation of the Medallions, maybe they would work better if there was a hole punched into them.

LOL. I really have this suspicion that the implementation crew is purposely doing a slow walk on this program. Think about it. They work a few hours a day on a luxury cruise ship, have some really decent food, maybe get a couple of hours off at lovely ports of call, see a production show or two and bunk with another lonely contractor. Sounds like the making of a reality show to me....The OMG-*****-LUV Boat.

My guess on all this ***** is it may never end up going fleet wide

[Sacto Rick]

I had thought that when they issued you a Medallion, you wouldn't need a cruise card.?.?

[GeoffH]

They were pre-punched on the Sea Princess in November.

You don't ...when the medallion is working :rolleyes:

[west coast cruiser]

I just got off the Grand and my cruise card had a hole punched in it when they gave it to me. . I don't use the lanyards so I didn't need it but it was there.

[BoopTennis]

The non ***** cards are RFID cards. They are used as RFID cards to purchase laundromat tokens.

We were on the Regal in November and could not punch a hole. We bought lanyards, but they had the plastic sleeve for the cards. The lanyards came with the metal ring for the medallion with the sleeve attached below that. When you enter your cabin you have to put your card into a slot on the wall to turn on your lights. Take it out, and the lights go out like hotels in Europe.

We purchased some plastic card holders just in case we can't punch our cards. Regarding putting the cruise card in the light switch slot, we always bring an old hotel room card and use that and when we leave the room we just pull it out and leave it partially in the slot so it doesn't turn the lights on but will stay there until we return. Cabin stewards are used to seeing this done.

I was on the Crown in November and they punched a hole in my card for me. I was on the Regal in December and they would not a punch a hole so I punched my own hole! It still worked fine getting me into my cabin and for cocktails! But it would not work in the casino :-(

Princess ships leaving Australia have hole in them when you get them
