I always use a lanyard, but I get the lanyards from Hobby Lobby. they are small, thin and light weight with a zipper in the back which will hold a CC or yes cash. It fits around the neck easily and and does not add bulk worn under a shirt. It also works as a small wallet for evening wear.

Have only been on 95 cruises and have never understood ladies with purses big enough to steal the ham out of the windjammer. There is no cash exchanged (other than casino) so we have our landyards on and they will fit inside our formalware or other clothing and we can go swiming or whatever.

Watch out for the Lanyard Police..... why they hate others to wear them is beyond me.

 

Maybe they don't want the Gold cards to be put in the front of the tender line or hold up the disembarkation line so they can get off first, or go to the front of the line at GS??;p:')

LOL. I am not gold, but there are many who scorn lanyards.

Hubby's goes in his pocket....mine in a small purse...no need for a lanyard!

 

I know lots of people like them, but I don't want something hanging around my neck all the time or having something that big to carry around. Hubby keeps his in his pockets and I have a tiny shoulder strap Royal Caribbean pouch that I use for some cash and my Seapass cards. Works perfect for us.

Some people need to have items for medical/health purposes. I carry a small backpack.

Me too. Hate looking like a tourist

 

Uh, you're surrounded by a big cruise ship... that screams tourist and no lanyard is going to change that. I'm not gonna waste time as a tourist worrying about whether some other tourist thinks I look more like a tourist than they do. Unless you are ship's crew the tourist tag comes with the ship, not the lanyard.

 

I bring a lanyard from home and it is super convenient since it easily snaps off the strap to pay for drinks or unlock cabin door, and I can pocket just the card and smallish clip on formal nights where it is more appropriate since it might clash with my tie. DW and I never get ours mixed up anymore when sneaking out of the cabin for an early morning coffee, and we've not lost one or had one mag-wiped since we started using lanyards. So to each his/her own.

 

FYI, some small clutch purses have a magnetic latch on them. Pre-lanyard days DW wiped out several cards on one cruise before we finally realized her fancy little Coach purse was the culprit.

Will they punch a hole in your Seapass if you bring your own lanyard? We're bringing my GD and I'd like to get her a Vera Bradley one that matches her bags.

 

Yes, guest relations desk has a hole punch.

Just want to point out- the Lanyard isn't the big tip off that you are a tourist. Figured you would want to know that.

 

The tip off is walking through ports with the Seapass card showing in the lanyard;p

Not to muddy the water, but I use a "retractable clip" for my out-of-sight, not around the neck, my clothes don't have pockets carry of the SeaPass. I had one with a previous employer's logo on it (we had to wear badges at eye level (lanyards or pinned to shirt)). I purchased a set of 4 non-logo clips from an office supply store when we took our tweenagers on a cruise. It was perfect for everyone!:D
