nautihog Posted January 20, 2016 #126 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Wearing a shirt or anything else from another cruise line will get nasty looks form the crew.:p This one will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted January 20, 2016 #127 Share Posted January 20, 2016 And the rest would end up punching their fingers.:D And suing Princess for permanent injury to their fingers or else demanding a few cruise because the punched a hole in their fingers.

ccruisequeen Posted January 20, 2016 #128 Share Posted January 20, 2016 This is insane. "To punch or not to punch, that is the question." Alright. I will buy into this insanity. Do they give you a lanyard or do you have to get one myself? If they don't give you one, can you buy one onboard? If you buy one onboard, is there a gratuity added and if there is do leave an extra tip for good service? Can you smuggle your own on board? If you get caught, will you get called to the "naughty room?" :confused: I bring my own bought from another cruise line. I use a walker, and it's so much easier to handle rather then a purse (few of my Cruise clothes have pockets). It's beaded so perfect to wear on formal night.

UpcountryTravelers Posted January 21, 2016 #129 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I use a handy little leather card case that another cruise line gave us upon boarding. Keeps my (unpunched) cruise card, my platinum AmEx and my passport card all together in a non-bulging pocket. Convenient. :p Edited January 21, 2016 by UpcountryTravelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you use it everywhere or are there places/ports/etc where you need a regular passport? I did get a card when I got my passport but haven't used yet.

If you're talking about the Passport cards they now issue I was told that they're not good for people flying back to the US. I was all ready to get one but what's the use if it can't be used to fly back, especially from somewhere in the Caribbean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marykhal Posted January 22, 2016 #132 Share Posted January 22, 2016 omg.....please do me a favor and punch me in the face if I ever care whether or not my cruise card is punched. Oh, and as an educator who loathes inefficiency, I agree with OP. An easy step by step how-to in the room and a 5 minute tv tutorial would reduce the lines (and potential) frustration in the internet library. isn't it grand having such first world problems? lol....:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpcountryTravelers Posted January 23, 2016 #133 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Do you find the passport card useful? Can you use it everywhere or are there places/ports/etc where you need a regular passport? I did get a card when I got my passport but haven't used yet. I take both the book and the card on a cruise. The book stays in the safe. The card is perfect ID for those ports where you need a "government issued photo ID" to get back to the ship, so I take it whenever I go ashore in the Caribbean, Canada or Mexico. In Europe, of course, I have the "book" with me at all times. It's the custom there (except Ireland, where the ship was required to hold the passport so I took the card, but never needed it). I also use the card for domestic air travel. Edited January 23, 2016 by UpcountryTravelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potstech Posted January 23, 2016 #135 Share Posted January 23, 2016 To some this is their "real" world. A hole punch in a card and a lanyard are huge massive problems that need to be solved by a huge corporation before and above all else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
