mountaingirlnewcruiser Posted March 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Okay this is the dumbest question ever but what is the best way to keep track of your ship and sail card when you go swimming? In looking at my relatives pics and postings, it looks like they wear theirs on a lanyard most of the time but that doesn't seem practical for swimming. At the same time, I sure don't want someone else to get a hold of it while I'm in the pool. Sorry for the silly question but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbbquilterUT Posted March 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2018 DH keeps his in his swimsuit pocket, mine is in my pool bag by the chair or else in my pocket. We have never had any issue with theft of our stuff poolside on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband also uses the pocket in his swim trunks, I use a time-honored place of concealment for us ladies.....;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookish Angel Posted March 31, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Not a stupid question! I always use a lanyard that has a plastic sealable pocket for my card and a few dollars in cash. It can be concealed under my top and I don't have to carry a purse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted April 1, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2018 If you don't have a pocket, you could get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Armband-Adjustable-Fastener-Specialist-ID/dp/B004XVTK94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I carry mine in a small purse, along with my lipstick, comb, tissues, etc.....hubby's is in his pocket. If we go in the pool, I leave my card in by pool tote, or in my book (as a bookmark). No one can use it...your PHOTO shows up when scanned! It's really not a big deal. If you should lose it (although I don't see how or why anyone should "lose" their card), simply go to the desk and tell them. They will give you another.

Rare mom says Posted April 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I just keep mine in the zippered pocket of my tote bag. Nobody's going to go rummaging thru your things while you're in the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvetwater Posted April 1, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I have done this with key cards (hole punched) and actual hotel keys. If you wear a bikini or a tie neck swimsuit put it on the tie and rest it near your boob with your name facing inwards. Then tie your bikini back up I don't use it much so it sits there while I swim and lark about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted April 1, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Also, it is not like you will be swimming laps. :) The pools tend to be too small and too crowded for any real swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted April 1, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Mine goes in my pocket as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted April 2, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I take a beach bag to the pool with me. I leave the bag, my towel, sunscreen & a book on the lounge chair. The card is in the bag. It's never been a problem. Remember, the card has no value off the ship but on the ship when it's scanned your photo comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
