Do kids need their cards on NCL?

[Loriall]

We will be travelling with our five year old next month. He will be with us other than the times he's in the kids club? Will he need his room card ever on the ship? If so, I'll get a lanyard for him, but I'd rather not, he'd likely lose it and the card. Thanks

Don't know about NCL, but my daughter didn't keep her card til she was much older. We always got her from the kids' programs on Carnival and Princess, so she didn't need it to open the cabin door. If she wanted a soda (since Princess has mini-fridges in every cabin, we would bring on beverages to keep in it) or hot chocolate, we would buy it for her.

Until your child can go about all alone, YOU keep their card!

No. Our boys will be 9&6 when we board Breakaway in 2.5 weeks and neither will get possession of their card :)

Great, thanks for the responses!

My 7 & 9 YO's each had their card on their lanyard. They didn't really *need* it, as they were always with us, or in kids club, but they loved having it. And, we would let them jog ahead & let themselves into the cabin. Before crusing I wasn't sure how the crowds would be, so I gave it to them as a safety thing that they could always go to the cabin & get in if we got separated. That wasn't an issue at all.

I don't think a 5 YO would need one as I wouldn't let them out of my sight or kids club. Ever.

THEY do not need the card, but you will when you go ashore. You must bring it with you to check them off the ship and then back on. That's the only time we have ever used our daughters on the ship. :)
