DublinLass Posted October 20, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Can anyone tell me something about the s&s cards please. Are they laminated or just hard paper/cardboard? If not laminated will they still work if you were to laminate them? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendaB1 Posted October 20, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 20, 2008 They are plastic like a credit card & you won't receive them until you check in at the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to laminate them, as they are like a credit card, as other have said. You can get it wet, etc... no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted October 20, 2008 #5 Share Posted October 20, 2008 You can always get a waterproof pouch to put that kind of stuff in too. They have all kinds available online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpslim Posted October 20, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Looks and feels like a credit card, however they are temporary, which means the magnetic strip on the back is only designed to last a week (or whatever the duration of your cruise is). Keep them separate from other credit cards, or they become demagnetized and you're locked out of your cabin :eek: . You can, however get new one issued at the purser's desk. Many people get lanyards to wear around their necks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me three new S&S cards before I finally figured out that it was the magnetic clasp on my small purse that was demagnitizing my card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in a hotel, and I ALWAYS tell people not to put key cards with magnetic strips near another credit card or on top of the TV, or next to a cell phone,,,any of those things can demagnatize them,,, I wish they'd let people know when they give them out,,,it would be less work for them in the long run,,, Holly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chandlers Posted October 21, 2008 #14 Share Posted October 21, 2008 We are planning on taking those spiral wristbands for keys this time. We will have our cards punched and attached our S&S to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjunea Posted October 21, 2008 #16 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Thankyou :) I'm having a hard time finding the ones with the holders :) Holly check with a dive shop in your area. I found some there for my kids for last summer. They thought they were dorky at first, but then when they got on the ship, they loved them! never lost their keys in their pockets, etc. It was great!
