Does anyone know if Carnival still stashes lanyards in the slot trays in the casino on the first day? I know you use to could go to the casino on embarkation day and get a free lanyard out of the slot trays.

 

Thanks!!

Are you talking about the curly-thingies with clip on end to attached to you S&S card after it's punched? If so, yes, there will be someone in the casino walking around with a punch & a bunch of lanyards.

No, not those. They use to put freebies in the slot trays the first day, just regular lanyards to carry your key card in etc.

 

Thanks,

Wow. In our 14 cruises on CCL since 2003, I've never seen any of lanyards that you are mentioning. The only ones I saw were for purchase in the gift shop.

Its been a long time since my cruise on carnival so maybe they downgraded from the regular lanyards to the coiled ones now. I think it was maybe 1999 or 2000 when I last sailed on carnival!!

 

That's probably true. We started sailing in 2003 and have never seen free lanyards.

The casino gives away the coiled lanyards and it wouldn't make sense for them to give away any other kind since the point is to be able to keep your card attached to you even while you are also putting it in the slot machines. As far as I know they have never given away any non-stretchy lanyards.

My "premier" S&S card holder or "lanyard" is some kind of cloth, so it's not stretchy material. It was given out right after sail away to all who booked a casino fare. It made it easy for casino staff to immediately identify those with DOU perks.

Do most buy lanyards prior to the cruise or wait and get them on the ship? Going to check Amazon!

 

I always bring the ones we got for disney pin trading but we usually wind up using the free coil ones. I am not sure why

That's what I did. 24 for $6.99. We have a large group going on our trip so I bought 2 boxes. Any we don't use I can give away at work for our badges there.

No need to order them from Amazon, unless you're after something specific. Lowes, Home Depot and some hardware stores sell lanyards, typically near where keys are made. You can also find lanyards at Walmart, and at many sporting goods stores.

The free lanyards in the casino look like this: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y286/denewitt/DSCN1277.jpg

 

The color may vary, usually red or blue.

 

Thank you. The typical ones given away at our local casinos or in Las Vegas.

 

I prefer the coiled key chain one like this:

I bought seat of 2 at Walmart for like $3.

 

My DH just likes the normal lanyard you can get any-were. We originally got ours on our first cruise in the gift shop.

You can buy a lanyard right here on Cruise Critic! We got them for free when we booked a CC sponsored group cruise. They have cruise critic printed on them, and have a key ring to keep your punched card safe. The thing I like about them is that they have a buckle so that you can quickly take off the card to purchase things or doink on and off the ship.

Years ago I got a free lanyard from Carnival, got another after spending $59 for Behind the Fun tour. They sell them now in the gift shop.

 

Hope they start punching holes like the person said on Magic. It is so hard to punch them! Even got a new puncher, worked great once, now I have to find a strong guy like Captain Carnival to punch my card.

 

Some people think a lanyard is as bad as a fanny pack. I have one of those too!

Open your eyes. Free lanyards have been and are still available

 

As others have mentioned you can get a coiled lanyard free in the casino by just asking at the cage. We got our whole party one (must be present) May 2015 on the Freedom and we didn't even have to use the casino to get it. They had red, blue, purple, and black.
