Do we get lanyards when we check in?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I'm a newbie and I'm going to ask anyway! ;p

 

What do you do with your Seapass card (on a lanyard or not) when you go in pools, hot tubs, etc? It's just going to be my son and I, and I'm not sure what exactly to do with things like that when we are planning to get wet. Do you leave them on a chair? That doesn't sound like the greatest of plans to me.

 

Be gentle! Thanks!

Wrap in clothes on deck chair or put in shoe under deck chair. If on lanyard I wrap the lanyard round the side of the deck chair and put the clothes or towel on top I always find a deck chair within sight of where I am.

I put mine in the pocket of my swimming trunks. No problem if the card gets wet, but don't get sunscreen on the card because that will remove the ink.

Was on the anthem last week. Lanyards were being sold in the waiting area before getting on the ship at a kiosk like the one in the photo above. I think they may have been 5 dollars, possibly 10. I heard a kid shout "mom they are only X amount" so I don't remember for sure. They were quite colorful and varied. On board the ship, a family member bought one in a gift shop for$ 8.95 it was pretty basic and came with a plastic sleeve. we had been told that staff at guest services or the casino could punch a hole in the card so it could go on a lanyard ring, but staff at both places refused, saying it would ruin the card to do that. So make sure you get a lanyard with a plastic sleeve. if you are worried about taking it in the pool, wmart sold a waterproof one near the jewelry counter/ladies purses for $4.

It's only on Quantum class ships and Harmony that you will not be able to get holes punched in your Seapass card as those cards use RFID technology. On all other ships first services will gladly punch a while in your Seapass card.

I love my lanyard. About 7 years back for the holidays I bought all my female family members that cruise a designer label lanyard made out of leather and fabric. To this day those ladies use the item on the ship and at their work. The one we have can carry the ship card, a CC, and several bills all without others seeing this "other stuff". When in port I slip it under my shirt or jacket and my money and ID are safely attached to me.

 

I love the lanyard. Lanyard Power!

If people say they are not bothered by lanyards, then why go through the trouble of telling others they shouldn't have them?

 

MY opinion thinks they look just fine, and I know my opinion is the most important one. ;)

 

It's awesome that one feels so compelled to tell people what not to do, and then claim that they don't bother them... Something doesn't add up in that logic. If it doesn't bother you, then there's no need to worry about others.

 

Maybe I'll add a 3rd to my neck. Wear the WOW band there next time we have one.

We wear our lanyards in the water. Even the hot tub, ocean, etc. Our pouch is waterproof and also holds our phones, which we use to take photos throughout the day.

Why would anyone carry a purse, all day, around a ship? Especially when hot-tubbing and swimming!

I WISH I could go without a purse around the ship! It would be liberating, unfortunately I have to carry medical stuff with me 100% of the time. But I still wear my seapass card rather than stick it in the purse to dig out whenever I need it. I'm a big fan of the zip-style clip lanyards that I just clip somewhere on my clothes.

Understandable. I occasionally carry a tiny one, for dinner or the casino, but a purse just for my S&S card is a bit much.

Please don't use a lanyard.

It is a very bad look.

Use a small keychain and keep it in your pocket.

 

That is YOUR opinion! I'm might be a newbie, since I just started cruising in 2015, but I've been on 5 different lines for a total of 8 cruises and on those the majority of people have used the lanyard. Of course I did not do a scientific survey on the percentages, but it is a lot. Don't make those that want to use a lanyard feel like a goof ball or weirdo.
