JohnK6404 Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 You generally put them on yourself and can choose which wrist and how tight to secure. I made the rookie mistake of putting it on my right wrist back in OCT and kept dipping the ends into my food since I’m right-handed. This current cruise I placed it on my left wrist… no issues of course. Lucy JL and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they permanently attached to your wrist or can you wear them some other way Ask whoever is putting them on you not to put them on so tightly. Make sure they can be taken off when you don’t need to display them. If they have been put on tightly by the “strict” agents at the port, you can ask for replacements from Guest Services. Here are some ideas: Attach them to a lanyard instead of wearing them on your wrist If worn on the wrist, tuck the “tail” into your watch band to prevent it from dipping into your food or drink Wear them as anklets I put snaps on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 I put mine on loose enough so I can slip it off at night or when showering. When I wear it, I roll the end several times so that it's comfortably snug up my wrist...and the tails are flush and out of the way. whitsmom and SebagoSue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 My brother ordered cord locks similar to these https://www.amazon.com/Double-Drawstrings-Paracord-Shoelaces-Elite/dp/B08BYFXMKV When I am given the wristband I just pull the nylon all the way through the black plastic piece like I'm tightening it all the way and it slips off. Then I thread the ends through the cord lock and it makes it adjustable for easy on/off. Linda R, cdixon22, Poolside and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadmgs Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 I cut the tails off mine. I was surprised how fast it dried after getting wet. Mine was loose enough to slip off at night and when showering, but it would get wet when I washed my hands. I really like the cord lock idea.

WAAAYTOOO Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 So, are they no longer using the rubber bracelets at all ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK2793 Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 What’s silly to me is that since they let us all leave them loose enough to take on and off ….. it’s really senseless to not use the silicon bracelets …… these end up coming off on the water slides and getting lost or fraying apart when people cut the ends ….. then they just have to replace them over and over …….. our son is on his 3rd band since we got on symphony on Saturday ….. they didn’t even verify his vaccination status before giving new ones.

I had one day between two sailings in Miami. I was so irritated by the "tail" on the first sailing so I had to do something about it. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dritz-Snap-Fastener-Kit-10-Count/48693054?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=3702&adid=2222222227748693054_117755028669_12420145346&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-293946777986&wl5=9011544&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=48693054&wl13=3702&veh=sem_LIA&gclid=CjwKCAiAgbiQBhAHEiwAuQ6BksshbdXJ1OZ1ZlWA-Qc1i1EMO6DcgADfs-Fb8MXbp0M3wOyjxGwIAxoCqnoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you have used the heel of a shoe for the same purpose? Poolside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter6251 Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 If no adults can board the ships unless they have been vaccinated, what is the purpose of the satin arm bands? I asked an officer on the Harmony, he looked puzzled and said ":good question" Wanderlust876 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
