dapaddo Posted March 19, 2011 #101 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have made a few beaded ones for those who cruise with me and they are done in many colors so they match our outfits and look more like jewelry.We get alot of comments on where to buy them. I could probably sell them on the ship.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookbug53 Posted March 19, 2011 #102 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Lanyard Gal. I like my card convenient and easy to find. I have all my past guests pins on it to dress it up. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelli Posted March 19, 2011 #103 Share Posted March 19, 2011 My "lanyard" is really a badge-holder from a business trade show I attended years ago (but I've seen the exact type of thing for sale in some ships' shops). In addition to a clear pocket for my card, it also has a zippered pouch that's perfect for toting other necessities... like my reading glasses (just in case I want to see!) and asthma inhaler. Since it's black, in the evening I wear it over my shoulder like a purse instead of around my neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmarose Posted March 19, 2011 #104 Share Posted March 19, 2011 For the gals that need someplace to tuck it when wearing a dress, I tuck mine in my bra. hehe Keepin it classy San Diego. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohavemommy Posted March 19, 2011 #105 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have one of those too, but use it at work only. For our cruises, I have used a "D clip" similar to one used by climbers. It clips onto belt loops, or beach bags, and it's easy to find. I get the Purser's desk or Casino to punch a hole in my Sail and Sign card, then attach the card to the ring part. Now this one I could probably do... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazzledrazzle16 Posted March 19, 2011 #106 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I wear mine around my neck around the ship during the day. At night my cards are in a handbag. I really don't care how it looks... It's convenient and its not like I know anybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If needed I can also fit my small digital camera in there and a lipgloss... you would be suprised how much can fit in there! LOL ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckirj1 Posted March 19, 2011 #108 Share Posted March 19, 2011 FWIW, I wear a lanyard, and I stand four-square with the previous posters who like Crocs and hate chocolate melting cake. The post about keeping stuff in one's bra squicked me out, though. The thought of a woman digging into her sweaty cleavage to retrieve a card, and then handing it to somebody and expecting that somebody to actually touch it... just... ew.

jordanaire Posted March 19, 2011 #111 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I couldn't care less if someone thinks my lanyard looks stupid. Amen to that, brother! I am not on a cruise to impress anyone other than my dear wife, who happens to wear one herself! Besides, it's nice to "show off" the Platinum cards! :cool:Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo1959 Posted March 19, 2011 #112 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I don't like then around my neck, but I do attach it to my belt loopand stick my S&S card in my pocket... that way it keeps it safe and sound and it's handy when I want it. and I also don't forget the card in the slot machines.:) Sometimes I think you and I are the only people who wear it like this. Just makes so much sense, easy, convenient, never gets lost, and doesn't show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSpartan Posted March 19, 2011 #113 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Always wear a Michigan State lanyard on the ship during the day....too convenient, and frankly, I don't care what other people think of me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robkatcruisers Posted March 19, 2011 #114 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I am a lanyard guy.I lose everything so if its not attached around my neck it would be gone.My mom made me wear them mitts with a string attached to them so I would not loose them as a kid.Maybe thats where I get it from??? Hahah...I laughed so hard when I read this because I had these in good ole Vermont growing up in the 80's. Then they came up with the elastic bands with the clips on each end that clipped to the mitten then to the coat...haha....:D I too have to have a lanyard for work...but my sister found me a very stylish Vera Bradley one for work.... I like another posters idea of the retractable one best!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMedik Posted March 19, 2011 #115 Share Posted March 19, 2011 but don't you think it just looks so stupid hanging around your neck? OK. Just had to let it out. valtandc, Nope. Hope you feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylock Posted March 19, 2011 #116 Share Posted March 19, 2011 but don't you think it just looks so stupid hanging around your neck? OK. Just had to let it out. I wear mine. I do not need to worry if I have it. It will not fall off and I will not leave it behind. And from the bottom of my heart, I could not care less if YOU think it is stupid.

1tuckersmom Posted March 19, 2011 #117 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I couldn't care less if someone thinks my lanyard looks stupid. My feelings are the very same as yours.;) If I want to wear one so what? If you don`t want to wear one that is fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airhead22 Posted March 19, 2011 #118 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have worn the same Happy Bunny lanyard on all my cruises. It is tradition now and I love it. I am old and would lose it if it were not on my neck. I am currently looking for my debit card. Maybe I should start wearing it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhansaMi Posted March 19, 2011 #119 Share Posted March 19, 2011 but don't you think it just looks so stupid hanging around your neck? OK. Just had to let it out. I have about 10 beaded ones, which I coordinate with my outfits. They are actually quite beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyroad Posted March 19, 2011 #120 Share Posted March 19, 2011 if the op is a man i bet he doesnt care what others think of the tie he wears. or if a lady the kind of necklace she has on. i wonder what they would do if someone said either one was stupid looking :confused:. who cares what others think. i wear one and am glad i have it. maybe i will have my sons picture put on a small political type pin and put it on my lanyard. i will be proud as hell too wear it with a smile on my face. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare patrice1 Posted March 20, 2011 #121 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Not a snob really, but would'nt wear a lanyard or a fanny pack. Why would I when I have DH? LOL:) Also, we have lounge chair towel keepers with a "secret pocket" to hold cards. Sol-mate (google it). As far as the "bra" storage goes, here in Key West it's called a "Cuban Wallet". :eek::rolleyes::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaterette Posted March 20, 2011 #122 Share Posted March 20, 2011 but don't you think it just looks so stupid hanging around your neck? OK. Just had to let it out. No i don't. I really don't care what others think. It is real easy as I don't have podkets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpstateCruizer Posted March 20, 2011 #123 Share Posted March 20, 2011 No i don't. I really don't care what others think. It is real easy as I don't have podkets. I totally agree! On our first 3 or 4 cruises my dh carried my S&S card in his wallet. What a pitb that was esp if I forgot to get it before I headed back to the cabin. When I went on our first CC group cruise they gave us CC laynards. While I'm normally not a laynard person I loved having my S&S card. Now I find it so convenient to use the casino laynards and not have to worry about leaving my card in the machine. Anyhow I don't care what anyone else does as there are much more important things to worry about on a cruise .......like where that darn server is in the casino! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mominwestlake Posted March 20, 2011 #124 Share Posted March 20, 2011 My husband and I were just having the lanyard discussion today. We are cruising with our 5 kids and I think the younger ones will have to have a lanyard or risk losing their card. Do you think Carnival provides lanyards for kids? Does anyone have an idea what we can use at Universal for our hotel room key which is also the kids express pass for rides? Not sure if they punch the room keys for a lanyard- plus I worry about the lanyard hooking on something. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohavemommy Posted March 20, 2011 #125 Share Posted March 20, 2011 So I was thinking of the Cuban Wallet and decided to go look around the internet.... and this is what I found. You could probably hold more than a card in these! :D :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
