Yep, lots of lanyards available, for sure.  One last thing I'd like to recommend to most cruisers, most people don't realize that the cabin walls on a cruise ship are metal.  So, if you take a lot of "stuff" along with you when you cruise, these magnetic hooks come in really handy.  We cruised once with 14 of my closest family members in the Family Villa on the Symphony and my son-in-law used our hooks to string Christmas lights throughout the cabin.  It was great.  We also use the hooks to hang wet (but not dripping) swim suites, towels, shirts, belts, etc.  https://www.amazon.com/Powerful-Refrigerator-Magnetic-Neodymium-Upgraded/dp/B07QSJ6Q72/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2F3BQ3WVYSF43&keywords=magnetic+hooks+for+cruise+cabins&qid=1647705448&sprefix=magnetic+%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-9

Oh, yes!  Those Passport holders with the window for the vax card are great.  Got one right before my last cruise, and it helped speed things up going through check-in at the port.  Plus I was less worried about losing or damaging my card.
Amazon sells a wide variety of card holders and lanyards, including several "cruise-themed" ones.  There are lots of options available.

The "Seapass Card" doesn't come on a lanyard.  We just purchased and received the following:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09F2HZT52?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
They are retractable and of a hard plastic design.

I have a lanyard and my cup will be yes tossed in my day bag then washed thru the day!

SeaPasses do not come on a lanyard. Royal sells some logo lanyards onboard, or you can bring your own from home (cheaper and your choice of style, color & selection).  I've also seen people put adhesive card holders on the back of their smart phones for their SeaPass cards rather than using a lanyard. 
I've only seen people carry their Coca Cola Freestyle soda cups around, so can't really answer if folks bring a holder for those.

Having just gotten up the courage, after much support from my teenaged daughters, to actually be brave enough to show my cancer scars in a bathing suit on my upcoming cruise, I'm just crossing my fingers that I don't show up as a "cringe-worthy" line item on this lovely list.

One thing I hope I see is people having fun and people just being grateful to be able to cruise and just forget about the real world for a week and be excited and have passion in life.  

Congratulations on the positive outcome of being able to show off those scars.

Ok.  That changes things quite a bit.  
If you are only going to visit the buffet once, and for a themed night, I would go Caribbean.  Unless you come from a city that has no Mexican food readily available, I don't think that there would be a debate.  Caribbean food isn't readily available where I live.  As mentioned somewhere above Caribbean braised oxtail is available.  I would go just for that. LOL

Hello from NJ! I concur with the other posters. You want to fly out of Newark for sure. 

order a drink, go to Sorrento's, get pizza, bring back to bar.  now you have bar snacks!  🙂

Not only that, stop by the Windjammer, if something looks interesting, ask for a small plate of it. Taste it. If you like, you can come back later and have it for second dinner, or eat it right there and then for first dinner.  Its like a freaking Costco but only samples.  You don't have to commit.  You can browse and walk away.  

True! Much like the hobbits, you can have dinner AND supper!

We like Caribbean night at WJ for the oxtail and goat curry

This is a very loaded question that calls for a very relative and/or personal response based upon the context.
If you were asking "better and worse" in terms of objective food quality such as freshness and temperature, then there could be several worthy answers based upon whether formal nights affected Windjammer crowds therefore the food sat there longer, etc.
If you are asking, based upon context, whether the overall aesthetics of theme nights were better or worse, such as Mexican nights are decorated more or what not, that would also be a fair question.
If you were asking about what's better (Caribbean food or Mexican), that would require a personal response that might not answer your intended question.  I have a feeling that is not what you were really asking though.
HERE is my response...Why not just go on all event/theme based nights, take five minutes to peruse the Windjammer, and if it doesn't seem appealing, go elsewhere.  That is the beauty of a cruise, so many options.  I would not avoid or choose a restaurant based upon forum member opinions alone.  I want to see, taste and experience it for myself.  But opinions do help. No doubt.
Have fun!

I'm not sure about Allure, but on Adventure in January they had a Caribbean night, an Indian night, and an Italian night (I think). We went for the Indian night because we got back from our excursion too late for dinner, and it was FABULOUS.  

As someone with a husband and daughter who are celiac, this was incredibly helpful. I am so happy they were able to accommodate your dietary needs. Wonderful photos and great descriptions. Thank you so much!
