Lanyards...Yes or No?

[lahlah57]

Good point.....hmmm....maybe you could hook it around the.elastic of your jock.strap....do guys still wear those:confused:

[Jackytar]

I would have that black by the 2nd day...lol!

 

In that case, make it from black cordage... it'd look amazing. In fact... I might just go ahead and do one in black and gold cordage, just for S&G.

I never have and I suppose those that do may not be bringing them on a cruise.

This woman will not want a small purse. I don't need tissues (why would anyone carry around tissues?), don't wear lipstick, and don't run a comb through my hair once it's styled and sprayed into place.

 

I'll wear a lanyard if I want to. IMO, a lanyard is better than pulling a card sticky with sweat from my bra. Ew.

 

People carry tissues to blow their noses, rather than spew into the air or onto the floor. :eek:

Pretty sure that's why lanyards were invented...LOLOLOL:D

Good Day All!

Well, a few days back from first ever cruise on Carnival Vista, we were totally blown away, an awesome experience in comparison to any other type of holiday taken previously!

So in order to tie up the loose ends from starting this thread, firstly thanks to all who replied, and we did not bother with Lanyards, probably saw about 25% with them.

As for door organisers, never saw anyone wearing them!

Let me tell you Phil, I just went through 2500 google images looking for someone wearing a door organizer and low and behold.. your right, no images..glad you enjoyed your cruise..

Do what works for you... lanyards are great, but here is what we do...

 

When DH and I cruise, we ask to have a hole punched in a corner of our SeaPass card (obviously not over the magnetic strip) then we put it on a key ring with one of those flexible coil wristbands attached. That way we can wear it around our wrists instead of on a lanyard.

Really, it just doesn't matter. Lots of people use lanyards, lots don't. I normally don't, but once in a while do. Nobody is going to judge you one way or the other.

 

Funny note; my husband and I normally don't get each other 'big' gifts anymore for Xmas and other occasions, but we do give each other some little, fun gifts. (We give ourselves cruises or other vacations instead.)

 

Las Xmas he gave me this very pretty beaded necklace--he usually picks out a piece of costume jewelery or two--and he didn't even notice it was actually a lanyard! First one I've ever had. I got a good laugh out of it when I tried to wear it as an actual necklace.

We always use a lanyard when we are hanging around the ship....not in the evening, tho....it just makes it easier for us.....we don't use them off the ship....

I don't use a lanyard. I always have a small purse with me with my room card, eye drops, Kleenex, chap stick and my camera. Can fit all that in a lanyard - lol!

Many wear lanyards. Makes things easier in most cases.

 

I like to bring mine that is thin, plain, black leather. When not in use, I hang it on one of those magnetic hooks in cabin so it is easy to find. Before doing this it seemed like I was always misplacing it.

 

I wear it under my top so it doesn't "flap around".

 

At pool the lanyard w/pass goes in my beachbag so I can retrieve it easily.

 

In evening I unclip the sail pass from lanyard and put pass in my evening bag.

 

Enjoy your cruise

[GUT2407]

For me no

 

For Mrs Gut yes.

 

See to each their own.

Good Day All

 

First post prior to first cruise...so lets go straight to the important stuff!

Should we get Lanyards or not?

If we dont will we stand out from the experienced crowd like the innocent newbies that we are?

If we do, will the "in crowd" mock us for doing all the stuff they left behind many moons ago?

 

This is troubling me greatly, a good or bad experience on this trip will shape our future holidays for the rest of our lives!

 

Hoping for a mature and honest response, to this most trivial of concerns!

If you check on prior posts, you will find a thread that was about 500 posts long on lanyards. Here we go again.

Hi Phil,

 

The only place you will be mocked for using a lanyard is here on Cruise Critic. Such a thing would never happen in real life on a cruise.

 

I do not use a neck lanyard, but at times when I don't have pockets or my hubby's pockets nearby, I use a wrist coil to keep my card with me. I am pretty low maintenance and carry only my glasses/card with me to dinner and they travel in my husband's pocket, so I never carry a purse.

 

I've seen many people on several lines who are not 'first timers' carry thier cards on a neck lanyard, so carry your card however you feel most comfortable !

[ettaterrell]

We wear ours everywhere lol. The only time it comes off is if we are in port or in our room... I don't carry a purse Because I am so. As about sitting stuff down and walking off! This way I'm never in a panic because it's always on me.
