Holes in sign & sail cards?

[jenniferandwhatnot]

Do they poke a hole in the cards like they do on Carnival? I’m shopping for a lanyard and want to do away with the clear card holder if possible.

You can ask them to.

YES NCL does punch holes in your sail and sign KEY card. It is done at the Guest Counter in the ships Atrium.

Best to let NCL do it - DO NOT PUNCH HOLES in or near the magnetic stripe on the back of the card this will

make the card unreadable to enter your cabin come and go off the ship and buy drinks and gifts.

 

Some vendors will also do it where they sell the lanyards.

Yes guest relations do it for you

If you go to Guest Services after boarding, don't be put off by the long line of people waiting. There is usually someone who is monitoring the line and he/she will ask what you need then pull out a hole punch right then and there.

I have ALWAYS brought my own hole punch and made about 3 holes to make an oblong hole to use with my retractable clip. I keep it attached to me and secure that way.

You can buy a sturdy oblong heavy duty hole punch on Amazon. Works great on cruise cards, just be careful. Very powerful.

They will also poke a hole in the Tradewinds gift shop at least they did on the Escape last month when I bought a new laynard

I was just getting ready to post the same thing. Leave the hole punchers at home along with your maple syrup, George Foreman Grills and your 17,000 watt hair curler. :)

You don't want to see me if I don't have my 17,000 watt hair curler.

In the Escape last month the hole puncher was sitting there near the restaurant reservation part of the guest services desk (left side). No need to wait in line, we just went and punched the cards ourselves.

The last cruise the guest relations rep punched a hole so close to the magnetic stripe on my card that the bartenders and the ship security at the gangway couldn’t swipe my card in their card readers because the lanyard loop would collide! I had to go back to guest services to have a new card made.

Yes, She did that for DH and me last year, and saved us a long stand in line.

I use the reamer on my Swiss Army Knife to drill a hole in the corner that shows our Assembly Point.

Then I thread about 3 ft of lamp chain through that hole and connect the ends with a little thingy that comes with the chain (at any decent hardware store). That chain keeps the card from flying over your shoulder in a breeze.

Thanks for the info everyone!

 

I know some might say that wearing your card is a little nerdy, but I like cruising without carrying my purse around, all you need is your card!
