Sea Pass Lanyard Question

[cruisetonowhere10]

This is probably a silly question but I’d like to be prepared…haven’t sailed since before Covid so not sure what to expect.  Does everyone still bring lanyards for their sea pass?  I have to wear a lanyard for work and I cannot stand it around my neck abc I want to forget work when I am on vacation?  I have lanyards I bought for a cruise that ended up canceled due to Covid so I can easily bring them, I just want to know the feasibility of not using it.  What other options might I have?  FYI…I am not a purse/bag girl either. 🙂

You don't HAVE to wear a lanyard. I never do. You can carry the card or use your phone.

Pocket.

JMO but in 50+ cruises I never have and never will wear a lanyard for my SeaPass card.  I have a SeaPass card holder from a prior cruise that holds two cards (along with a center pocket which I use for extra drink tip $) and fits very well in my pocket.  And without that the SeaPass card is fine by itself in my pocket.

Never lanyard

Its really up to you how you want to carry your card, I do a lanyard but that's because most of my clothes don't have pockets (well unless I wear workout clothing)

[cruisetonowhere10]

Thank you everyone!  I’m going to make sure I have pocketed bottoms because that makes more sense.  It’s Alaska, so long pants most likely most days on the ship anyway.  I really appreciate the input and the fact that I am not missing something.

My wife always wears a lanyard because most of her slacks do not have pockets. Since they no longer punch holes in your keys(Ascent in Jan), she bought a new lanyards with a clear plastic pocket to put her key in.

We received cardholders in our room.  Never use a lanyard...

I always wrap my card in cash and use a binder clip to secure it. Tip money and clip is always available

I don’t care for lanyards. I found a cell phone case with a sliding cover on the back that I only use on vacation.  It holds two cards - usually my Sea Pass card and my id.  I want to be reachable by my college student son, so I always have that with me. Very handy….

I have a small wristlet I plan to use.

Can you get a hole punched in your SeaPass or does that mess it up? Can we go to Guest Services and have it punched? That makes it a lot easier to carry on a lanyard!

 It's apparently getting harder to get Guest Services to punch a hole in the card because the antenna for the RFID used for the electronic door locks is embedded in the card.  Most people I see with lanyards these days have plastic pouches that contain the card affixed to the lanyar. 

 I use the card holder they provide you when sailing in a suite.  This, as mentioned above, has a pouch on both sides and I keep tip money in one and my card, and my spouses, in the other side.   I have also seen people use business card holders as well, but outside of a lanyard, pockets are required.

I am also Team No Lanyard and I think one of those phone covers to hold card will help me when I wear pocketless pants! At this point DH is very accustomed to carrying my lipstick but I like to keep my card with me incase we wander in different directions.

Yep I actually am thinking I might be able to stick it in my case…I’m going to try with my work ID or a credit card…it pops off easily enough.

Never did and never will! First I am on vacation and not on a convention, second - How could I look more touristy? 😁😉

Everyone on a ship is a tourist. It's not the lanyard that gives you away. 😉

But if are walking around in Rome with a lanyard....

[TeeRick]

In the past, I sometimes used a lanyard in the casino (only).  Sometimes I forget my SeaPass card in the slot machine so a lanyard helped with this.

Sure. But the Romans still know the tourists. You'll be doing, you know, tourist things.

I like using a lanyard, I don't have pockets in my dresses or skirts.

I would never put a sea pass or my mobile in my jeans pocket. (when on board, my phone is in the safe).

This is the case I have, Spigen Slim Armor CS purchased on Amazon.
