Free Lanyards?

[shelbymustang]

I've searched and have been unsuccessful. My question - can you get free lanyards on the Carnival Conquest? I know you can get a hole punched in them, but am unsure if the lanyard is supplied/free. Thanks in advance.

U can get one in the casino. Just go there and ask for one

Go to the Casino onboard.

The casino use to give out the coiled type that was more designed to attach to your belt or belt loop. I don't know if they still do. Otherwise they are for sale.

 

I believe you get one from the photo shop after buying two pictures. That one is an ok one.

I have not been on the Conquest, but on every Carnival ship that I have been on I was able to get a free lanyard in the casino and have a hole punched in my card. Just drop by the casino on the first day and you will probably see someone handing out the lanyards.

Thanks everyone!! I wanted to make sure so I would not misinform our traveling companions. :)

You shouldn't need to get your card punched anymore. We sailed on the Breeze on the 23rd and the cards were pre-punched.

 

I also don't recall seeing any of the casino lanyards that they previously used. I saw plenty of the Premier Casino lanyards, but I believe that was mainly for their invited guests.

My card on the breeze April 25. My card was pre punched. When I went to the casino- I asked if they were still giving away free lanyards and they gave us 2.

i think breeze is the first that transitioned to the 'pre-punched' card stock, and this hasn't gone fleet wide yet. i know there was a question re: some blow back from the like of scrapbookers who didn't want their cards pre-punched over on heald's page so who knows how that will turn out.

 

the casino lanyards have said carnival's players club for a while, i haven't heard they'd been discontinued (and i'm sure we'd hear about it if they were!). as far as *i* know they still give out the ones that look like this:

Somehow I doubt those are the kind most people want. That would be annoying to hang around your neck. We bought our son one of the typical woven fabric kind in the giftshop. It was about $5 I think? He kept tugging on it so the plastic holder quickly broke. We then just attached it using the pre-punched hole. I don't get the hang up about it. It is a small hole in the corner, much smaller than a typical hole punch.

I like the ones from the gift shop because the part that holds your S&S card can be detached while you still have the lanyard around your neck. That way you can hand the card to a bartender or gift shop employee while leaving the lanyard itself in place. They have red and blue and they're about $5.00.

i'm not so sure about that... first off, you can connect the two ends (as shown) and then throw it over you neck...

 

but what i like about this design, is i'm not one to wear a lanyard around my neck, and absolutely don't want to (so i'm not one of the 'most people' that you're thinking)... i love that it can clip to my belt buckle, and then slip the card in my pocket. this also makes it ideal for use in the casino, because then the card goes in the machine and stays clipped to you. and, after all, that is why it's the 'players club' lanyard, and what it's designed for.

 

the coil allows it to extend a good 10 feet. in fact, it extends far enough i have often given the card to a bar server (even seated across the bar) without having to un-clip it. the type you describe would not be conducive to the purpose as outlined above, you'd have to take it off your neck and could walk away from it just as easily if not paying attention / after a few drinks.

 

i also think there's a reason they give that kind out, and if they gave out the type you described plenty of people that like that kind would probably go to get one that wouldn't gamble, etc. so, i guess that's just to say, i like and prefer that kind of lanyard. to each their own :)

To each their own.

 

Personally, I don't want either one. I simply keep my S&S in my pocket and put it in my wallet while in port. My son and wife wanted one, so guess what, we got them lanyards. We bought him one and she used the free one for buying pictures.

 

I do agree with you, if the casino gave out the nicer ones, everyone on the boat would have one and most of them would never gamble. It would be a cost for the casino and lost revenue for the shops. A lose/lose for the ship.

 

I was simply stating my impression based upon seeing other passengers, most are going to want the typical lanyard the shops sell.
