Toad Posted June 29 #1 Share Posted June 29 Since it seems important to always have your room key card with you for tenders, HIA etc. is it still possible to get a hole punched in the card and carry it on a lanyard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sometimes they come pre-punched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Front Desk will punch a hole in your keycard for your lanyard. On some cruises, a staff member with a hole puncher has been available near the Front Desk so you won't have to wait in the Front Desk line on Embarkation Day.

Moriah Posted June 29 #4 Share Posted June 29 (edited) Yes, you can - they will do it for you at GS if it isn't already pre-punched. I always come on a cruise with a "wardrobe" of lanyards to match my outfits, much to the embarrassment of my 33 year old daughter who says it's ridiculous and I should keep my card in my pocket or purse or something "like a normal person" - but I LOVE just having it around my neck. By the way, not sure what you mean by needing it for tenders - you need it to get off the ship if you are docked as well. And for drinks whether you have HIA or not. Lanyard. It's the way. That's my story and I'm sticking with it! Also, lanyards are usually for sale in the various onboard shops, but they cost much much more than the same ones on Amazon. You might want to get one before embarkation. Edited June 29 by Moriah 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toad Posted June 29 Author #6 Share Posted June 29 So I agree with you and I guess your daughter just doesn’t know what “cool” is😏. I always like having it on a lanyard since I know I could put it down and leave it just about anywhere. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently, even my hubby has come over to this way of thinking. After he actually tried it once. 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Banditswife Posted July 1 #9 Share Posted July 1 I am such a klutz, I even lost my key card that was in a lanyard. I like the lanyards that allow you to unclip the end with your card, much more convenient than taking the whole lanyard off while using it for drinks or in the casino.

I bought mine years ago along with luggage tag and few items. I think it was a bundle deal they had going at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
