Does anyone here have any ideas or solutions for this?
How hard is it to put your cruise card onto a lanyard that you attached to your belt or wear around your neck? Does anyone ever do this on a regular basis? Do you have to make a hole in the card? or is that impractical for swiping, etc. Perhaps you have some kind of lanyard where the card slides in? I am just wondering if anyone has a provedure they regularly do with their keycards to keep them safe and easily available? |

I just go to the casino and get them to punch a hole in mine. They attach their curly cord thing which you can latch together. Oterwise, I'm going to slide my work ID out and put my sail and sign key into my retractable thing that clips to my belt buckle. They also have the lanyards we used during the evacuation of New Orleans for Gustave. The ID is in the front clear pocket and there is a velcro pocket behind it for money or credit cards. It's black and hangs around your neck. I'll have to see what they are called in the office supply book when I get back to work. This might work for shoppers.

Melody - as the Brits would say "Brilliant!"
They do that, I didn't realize it. And your card remains sweepable. That's cool. They actually give you the lanyard. The kind that goes around your neck and the card slieds in is what we used for the Solstice cruise. |

I carry something like this most of the time. You can find something like this in the luggage section at Walmart or Macys.
![]() or something like this to take to the beach. It usually keeps room cards, ID, credit cards and cash dry. ![]() We've been able to find either / both of these in most dive shops. Sometimes even in the gift shops onboard the ship. |

Great idea Trip!
Oh and don't punch your own hole in your sail and sign card. The casino knows just the right spot to punch and keep the card active. I just left Office Depot they have several lanyard types including the ones I described. Can't wait to see Trip's blinged out lanyard! Melody

The Magnetic Name Tag holders we'll be giving everyone on the Blog2NOLA cruise are large enough, and hold firmly enough to also hold your sail & sign card.
Just have to watch that you put the card in backwards, so it doesn't demagnize the card.

I had a job earlier in the year where I had to wear a lanyard all the time. I preferred the neck one because I always felt I had it on me. The other types are more likey to not be felt if they go astray.

The lovely Mrs. Jones (Vita) carries her own little lanyard, and upon boarding just heads for the pursers desk and they always punch a hole in the "sign-n-sail" so she can attach it. No problem.....

Kuki, I am not sure about this but won,t the magnet take the coding off the sign and sail cards. I could be wrong but though it worth a comment. Mike

Other times I've had sail and sign cards in the same card wallet as credit cards and they've been demagnatized. If it gets demagnetized, don't do it again ![]()

On the Cruisemates Thanksgiving Cruise on the Freedom, DW placed her sign and sail card next to her little magnized turkey light, in her purse, and the card was erased. So do be careful about magnets.

I will need a lanyard next time I cruise. On the last one I think I went thru 3 sign and sail cards...it was embarrassing.

You can get good lanyards at most office supply stores or some fancy leather ones at specalty luggage stores. I am required to wear an ID badge where I work, and I have a lanyard that I can clip on to my shirt pocket.

This may sound silly, but we bring our own hole puncher so we don't have to wait in line at the purser's desk and can go exploring. We know not to punch the hole on the magnetic stripe and you can still read the table number etc....on the front.
This is especially good for kids because many of them are used to having a lanyard for house keys and/or school id's so carrying their cruise card in it is 'normal' for them. |

I've bought lanyards on Princess and Celebrity and the boutique shops will be glad to punch the cards for you ... even if you haven't bought a new lanyard.

NCL was punching the holes into the card as they gave them to you at a passengers request at sign n time. We brought our own lanyards, and simply attatched them right at sign in time.

We use the waterproof holder that we use for our fishing lic.
It's small and can be slid on our belt or used with the lanyard that is given in the casino. You can buy the holder at any sporting goods store

I just put my card in my pocket; never lost it or demagnetized it yet.
Wearing a lanyard would feel too much like work. ![]() edited to add: I do have a water wallet like this that I won at trivia on Sovereign of the Seas; it is great for snorkeling or beach excursions. ![]()

Don't forget some employers may have lanyards that you can get for free rather than paying for one.
Where I work I got enough for our group when we went in August and passed them all out. |
