I love my lanyard, and am never without it. I am at the very lucky time of my life....I am old enough not to give a rat's tail what other people think of me. It's a convenience, and if it's dorky, so be it....:D

I always wear a lanyard for my sea pass. Just enjoy not having to worry where it is. I have bought some off the internet that were just pretty, but have found that the ones sold on the ship are very nice, and not at all expensive. They are also longer, which I like.

I always take my sea pass to Guest Relations first thing to get punched, and then I feel "dressed." :rolleyes:

IMHO, I believe that it is a matter of expectations. First, all attendants are individuals, and their motivations and work ethic, are thus, individual. When I get to meet the steward, usually on the first day, I inform them of my needs, expectations.....For instance, I tell them that I don't do mornings, so if they see the do not disturb sign, I am not dead or sick, just don't require a make up.....I like fresh ice twice a day. Always ask for an extra set of towels. If there is anything else, I carry post it notes, and put a note on the mirror. If I am on the balcony and want them to make up room, I put out make up sign and let them know it's ok to come in and clean.

I have had good service, great service and not so good service. Mostly great service. Sometimes, it is just a matter of communication.....:)

On my TA, they took the seapasses, said the machines weren't working. That is the only time I didn't get the seapass to keep. There was quite a fuss about it in the line, too. :)
