Ladies where do you buy the cute necklaces that hold the sea pass?

[ShillyShally]

Last year I saw something called a wrist bracelet on QVC. I think the only place to get it now is from the manufacturer which is Canale Originals.

 

I used it on my last cruise and got a lot of inquiries about it. It held my seapass card, driver's license, and money. At home I use it to run errands around town such as grocery shopping etc.

 

This is what it looks like.

 

What an interesting idea - How was it to wear? I like the idea but am worried it would be irritating although it looks fun and functional! :)

You can also find some pretty beaded ones on ebay, just do a search.

I bought my beaded lanyard on the AOS in the general store. I acutally wore it around my waist instead of my neck. Very cute.

I love the idea about the eyeglass chain or even the bracelet purse! Maybe I'll even look into a clip that I can use... but I don't know if I will be always able to hook it somewhere. I think I'll look around in a few stores first to find things close or just like the wrist things so I can see how they feel.

Actually I forgot I had it on. The beads are worn on the outside so it looks like a bracelet and the wallet is soft against your skin so it isn't irritating at all. I have several in different colors. What is interesting is that store owners in Cozumel usually asks my sister or I if we made them ourselves because they would love to buy them from us.

I am planning to use my retractable as well and also purchase one for my husband and each of the kids (they love playing with my one from work) but I was wondering if the "whole" that they punch in the sea pass card is simple a small round cirlce, or if they can punch the kind that will fit with my retractable, which is about 1/4" to 1/2" rectangle.

 

Thanks for the help.

In my experience, they have simply used a hand-held hole puncher like you can buy in any office-supply store, which leaves a round hole. Be careful where you put the hole so it doesn't damage the magnetic strip.

[Desertbelle]

I have broken two hole punchers, those cards are really thick plastic. I would suggest you buy an heavy duty puncher. :)

I've been purchasing some beads to try jewelry making. I haven't bought any tools yet. I have some bright colored beads and letter beads. I made a stretch bracelet with "I (heart) cruising" for our last cruise. It would be neat to make a fun daytime lanyard with the name of the ship, group name if there is one, date of cruise, etc in brights. I will have to try that for my next cruise.

 

Of course you'd want a more elegant beading for the evenings. Each one could be color co-ordinated to outfits, which is what every woman wants - along with other things.

and bought one of the beaded lanyards in one of the shops for $8.95. I took off the badge holder and used the clip to hold my glasses.

 

My SIL and her SIL also bought them. MY SIL is a teacher and liked it because she could also attach her keys to it. (and of course we all think they're cute!)

 

I love the idea of wearing it around your waist, but I'd probably need 2 or 3 to make it all 'round!! :p

 

If you don't want to wear a lanyard around your waist you can attach it through belt loops or a button hole.

If you're like me, I already have too much stuffed into my suitcases! Just go down to the bursar's office (front desk), they'll punch the card for you.

It's not exactly a pretty lanyard, but you can buy fishing license holders at Wal-Mart for $0.75 that attach with a safety pin. Just another option.

[dixie54]

It was on an end cap by cosmetics. They are beaded and long. They had several different colors of beads to choose from.

Good idea, I can never squeeze the dang thing hard enough anyways! Anything that resembles work doesn't belong on a cruise!! :D
