I, perhaps incorrectly, assumed once on board with our little rubber bracelets, we would leave the actual card in the safe with our passports. Has anyone needed to show it after boarding? Not on the ship, the bracelets will be your proof. Depending on what ports you are stopping at you may want to research whether a particular port has started requiring them for entry to shops or restaurants.

Ampurp85 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 @PoochI just meant I may take my vax card out of its pouch and use that. I usually just put my passport in the safe, that is also the plan for my vax card. Pooch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseGus Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Lanyard with a hole punched Sea Pass if allowed, on more modern ships with embedded rfid I use the plastic sleeve and never have to take the card out, that still hangs on a lanyard. Swim suits don't have pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockerDom31 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I go the lanyard route with a plastic holder and everything works without having to take the sea pass card out. And then, that badge goes in a front pocket of a drawstring bag since I have to carry around an emergency inhaler and epi pen with me at all times. I throw my phone and some packets of liquid IV in there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitsmom Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 We use the lanyard and clear plastic sleeve also. I take a magnetic hook and we use that to hang our lanyards on while in our cabin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple years ago on Mariner, I had to go back up to the Flowrider to get my wife’s Seapass that she left on her seat. I’ll keep hanging on to mine.

CrimsonCruiser Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I'm team lanyard with a plastic sleeve. I use this wonder woman one because easy to find in the room or in my bag when I'm coming back from excursions. Plus the little paper card in the sleeve makes it easier to take my sea pass out when the crew need to swipe it for photos or something BeachGal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittermagoo Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 For the lanyards with the clear badge holders . . . do you have to take the pass out of the holder every time you need to use it at a bar or similar? Or do they scan it through the holder? (first timer here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bring my own punch to punch a hole to attach it to a lanyard or carabiner. Pattycruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMarc Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I saw these in a FB group and got them. I haven't used it yet, but it seems like it will be great. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079ZKQBMV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer ships use RFID technology so it's a tap to pay, so you can hand over the card in the sleeve and effectively never take it out because you also tap to open up your cabin door with it. Older ships require them to be swiped, so you'd have to take them in and out of the sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are heavy duty and take the snap attachment on the lanyard or the regular snap hook. Easy to slide the card in and out with the thumb slot in the back. Used to (at least in Galveston) the vendors who sold lanyards before we boarded had slot hole punches so you did not need a holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 I use a small crossbody cell phone bag. It has slots for credit type cards as well as a separate front pocket. Both pockets have zippers with adjustable strap. Came with a carabiner clip and has a belt loop thing on the back if you want to wear it on a belt. Bought it on Amazon years ago. Great bag.

Yo2slick Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 We bought these lanyards off Amazon and they work great! We ditched the plastic sleeves and had our cards punched at the Terminal. The retractable cord and clip to disconnect it from the lanyard are very very handy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071VFWX3S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when the sleeve can be used. I hope Royal incorporates the hole when their redesign their cards. A good percentage of cruisers use lanyards for their cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
