sailingmum Posted September 19, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2008 How do you access the doors on the Dawn - room keys, or swipe cards? I'm just wondering what I will have to carry around all days, as my dresses don't have pockets. Sandi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering what I will have to carry around all days, as my dresses don't have pockets. Sandi I'll explain this as best I can:rolleyes: . It's a plastic card type thing (probably a bit bigger than a credit card) with holes in it & you insert it into the door (not swipe). You can attatch it to your lanyard with your cruise card.

Cruising Crows Posted September 19, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi sailingmum, You get a cruise card for all your transactions and a swipe card type thing to enter your cabin for everyone in the cabin. The best idea is to either take or buy a lanyard - you can purchase P&O ones on ship usually pink or blue for around A$7 ea then attach both to that and wear around yr neck. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkmw Posted September 19, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2008 you can buy a Lanyard from crazy prices for a couple of $$$ or shops like that or you can buy one onboard for $7.00 by having a Lanyard you wont have to carry your personal belongings with you as you can leave them in the cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingmum Posted September 19, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thanks. I'll get a Lanyard from a cheap shop. I'd rather spend the $5 of something else on board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailawaysally Posted September 19, 2008 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Don't worry about wearing a lanyard everywhere. My mother didn't want to wear a lanyard until she saw that almost everybody wore one. Now she loves them and even uses them at home when she goes walking.

karmac Posted September 19, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Even though the lanyards on board are $7, I think they are a great little souvenir. I use mine at work and I often get customers asking me what a cruise is like as they are thinking of going on one:) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted September 19, 2008 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I must be one of the few anti-lanyard crew. I am forced to wear one at work, and I don't want that reminder on holidays. I had no problem with putting the card in my pocket, or in my camera pouch while ashore. Sun Princess is only a single card for cruise card & door key, but even with two I would manage OK that way. Was going to bring back a lanyard to use as a souvenir at work, but was disappointed they did not have an exclusive Sun Princess one (only a rather boring Princess one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brossy Posted September 19, 2008 #10 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thanks. I'll get a Lanyard from a cheap shop. I'd rather spend the $5 of something else on board! If you do buy a lanyard from a cheap store, try and buy one that has a detachable plastic clip with a string attached to it (at the end of the lanyard) Like the Pacific Dawn ones rather than a metal clip at the end. The lanyards with the plastic clip/string are easier to put your cards on. I snapped one of the room keys (oops :o) trying to put it on a lanyard with the metal clip. I can't download any photos at the moment but another cc maybe able to post one for you (or try googling lanyards to get a picture of one). I hope you have a wonderful trip :).

I know what you mean. I was looking at lanyards today,but I could only find ones that said HOLDEN or FORD. Not good enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gratz Posted September 19, 2008 #14 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I think we will be known as the "aria awards" group. Hubby and I have lanyards from the last 6 years so all my family will be using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
