shelpt Posted January 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Haven't cruised in awhile. We always used lanyards and had a hole punched in the seapass card. Now will have cell phones with us for pics. Any creative ideas for carrying around both? Especially for men. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandjwayne Posted January 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I typically have my card in my pocket in either my swimming suit or shorts. My cell phone lives in the room safe from first room entry until breakfast on last day. My wife just carries her phone with her in the bag she brings to the pool. I can't stand the lanyard around my neck for some reason that is why it is in my pocket. Mostly they zip up, but not always. So far never have lost my room card! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the wifi packages on board and the photo capabilities of cell phones, that item now travels with us around the ship. At the pool when in the water, it remains in our zipped pool bag. And if a card is lost it can only be used by you as your picture is embedded in it, and is easily replaced by guest services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past my cell stayed in the safe, but last time out Carnival wasn't publishing paper schedules and the schedule was only on their app. So now I carry my cell with me most of the time. We need to get a zipped pool bag so we can put our cells in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the appeal in the early years was the lack of phone connection and the isolation away from the day to day while cruising. (hence my screen name!) The cell phone (NOT smart phone!) was turned off and in the safe once boarded and not turned on and removed until back in the home port. The times certainly have changed.....

Current cellphones are excellent cameras. I don't even pack a seperate camera anymore. I have aleways kept my sea pass card in my pocket but for my iPhone 13 Pro Max I have a thin Apple Wallet that attaches by magnet to the back. Next time I cruise my sea pass card will be in that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted January 26, 2022 #11 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) I'm really not trying to be snarky - just curious. What does the OP's husband do with his keys and cellphone on any other day, or on any other vacation? Why would this be any different? Mine are in my pocket all the time. And if I'm going to a pool or something like that, when I go in the water they are in whatever accessory container I have with me at the time. I also never carried my sea pass card on a lanyard. But that's just me...... Edited January 26, 2022 by leaveitallbehind addition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that current cellphones are also good cameras but I also have good cameras that I want to use.I have 70 photo albums ,mainly filled with cruise pictures going back to 1973.

lissie Posted January 26, 2022 #23 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I make a considerable effort to make sure all my clothes I travel with (inc cruises) have useable pockets . Otherwise I'd use something like a cross body phone case Amazon.com : phone cross body 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
