gambit57 Posted February 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Yes, I'm asking. :p:p They still don't give them out, right? So what do people bring? Would you bring one from another cruise line if that's all you have? I have a bunch from DCL and found it very useful when walking around in swimwear all the time.

Rare coldweather Posted February 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I got my lanyards on a 6 pack at an office supply store. I think they were less than $1 each. Yes I would use any lanyard I liked even if it was from another cruise line. Enjoy! Sent from my XT1254 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare coldweather Posted February 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2018 That is "in" a 6 count package. They were not included with beer. :-). Sent from my XT1254 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted February 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2018 DH & I bought some in the ship's gift shop last year. The nice folks at Guest Services punched a hole in our key cards for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted February 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I have about a dozen lanyards.. one of which is an NCL, however, my favourite is one with a clear plastic pocket that allows me to hang it around my neck, with my first name, sailaway card, my itinerary all tucked into it. It's very convenient, especially if wearing a dress with no pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you bring one from another cruise line if that's all you have? I have a bunch from DCL and found it very useful when walking around in swimwear all the time. No lanyards. And no holes in key cards to clip on a lanyard. You can go to guest serivces and they will punch a random hole in your card or bring your own punch.

pcur Posted February 6, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I get blingy lanyards from Amazon. I have colors to match everything I wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smplybcause Posted February 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I've traded out my lanyards for wrist band. Doesn't get as gross and sticky with sun lotion etc. And a more acceptable tan line! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk I would do this, but it drives me NUTZ to have anything hanging on my wrist. I've never been able to wear watches or bracelets. What I like about the lanyards I get (have 3 pending on ebay for a total from the seller; this thread reminded me I need to replace a few of the colors), is they look like a piece of jewelry in the evening, and the bling falls right along the "v" of a top's neckline, or just adds a little pop to whatever I'm wearing.

johnrich Posted February 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I actually bought a box of 50 lanyards with clear holders on Amazon for only $8. I gave them out at a Meet & Greet. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted February 6, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We have our cards punched at Guest Services, and I have lobster claw clasps on most of my lanyards. Hubby just uses a plain 'ole black braided coach's whistle lanyard. Booooooooring!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby just uses a plain 'ole black braided coach's whistle lanyard. Booooooooring!!! Can you post a picture? I always used the kind with the clear plastic holder cuz I can stick cash or tickets or other small paper things in there as well. Plus, I like saving my cards as souvenirs, and having a hole in it feels like it's damaging my souvenir. But that's cuz I've only ever seen plain rings through the holes. A funny one like lobster claws or a character through the hole would make me feel a lot better about punching a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting she's talking about the type of clasp vs something that actually looks like a lobster. If you Google it it's a clasp where one side opens when you pull down on the lever - a large number of necklaces have that type of clasp just on a smaller scale.

gambit57 Posted February 6, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Apparently, Google is telling me there's an actual boring metal clasp called a "lobster clasp". I haven't found one shaped like an actual lobster claw yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktwothousand Posted February 27, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I brought my own union association lanyard from work...it was my first time trying to wear my card on a lanyard. And probably the last, because in the end, I found it irritating to have the lanyard rubbing on my neck all day, I'm going to do a hole punch and hang it from a belt loop next time I think.
