Haven't cruised in awhile. We always used lanyards and had a hole punched in the seapass card.  Now will have cell phones with us for pics. Any creative ideas for carrying around both? Especially for men.

Thanks!

I typically have my card in my pocket in either my swimming suit or shorts.  My cell phone lives in the room safe from first room entry until breakfast on last day.  My wife just carries her phone with her in the bag she brings to the pool. I can't stand the lanyard around my neck for some reason that is why it is in my pocket. Mostly they zip up, but not always. So far never have lost my room card!

Another vote for pocket.

...for both the cell phone and the sea pass card. 

 

With the wifi packages on board and the photo capabilities of cell phones, that item now travels with us around the ship.  At the pool when in the water, it remains in our zipped pool bag. 

 

And if a card is lost it can only be used by you as your picture is embedded in it, and is easily replaced by guest services.

In the past my cell stayed in the safe, but last time out Carnival wasn't publishing paper schedules and the schedule was only on their app. So now I carry my cell with me most of the time. We need to get a zipped pool bag so we can put our cells in it.

Agree! Part of the appeal in the early years was the lack of phone connection and the isolation away from the day to day while cruising. (hence my screen name!)  The cell phone (NOT smart phone!) was turned off and in the safe once boarded and not turned on and removed until back in the home port.  The times certainly have changed.....

I have a water proof eye glass case that I use to carry my cell phone on the rare occasion that I take it off a ship.I still use something called a camera to take pictures.My seapass card is always in a pocket.

Current cellphones are excellent cameras. I don't even pack a seperate camera anymore. I have aleways kept  my sea pass card in my pocket but for my iPhone 13 Pro Max I have a thin Apple Wallet that attaches by magnet to the back. Next time I cruise my sea pass card will be in that.

I'm really not trying to be snarky - just curious.  What does the OP's husband do with his keys and cellphone on any other day, or on any other vacation?  Why would this be any different?

 

Mine are in my pocket all the time.  And if I'm going to a pool or something like that, when I go in the water they are in whatever accessory container I have with me at the time.

 

I also never carried my sea pass card on a lanyard.  But that's just me......

I realize that current cellphones are also good cameras but I also have good cameras that I want to use.I have 70 photo albums ,mainly filled with cruise pictures going back to 1973.

HaHa! Im not sure all of his bathing suits have pockets that zip or button. Usually at the beach we throw everything into a beach bag, but I def am not lugging that around!
