![]() ![]() We buy a new set of cruise lanyards before every sailing so that we have a unique way to remember each. These make great keepsakes once the vacation is over. We’ve since seen other attention-grabbing cruise lanyards like these displaying home country or state and this elaborate style for someone that’s probably very interesting to talk to. Also from the Sunshine State, we struck up a conversation and hung out all week long. Last year we cruised from Australia and were excited to see a fellow passenger with a “Florida” lanyard around his neck. We always hope to make friends when we cruise. This gives the added protection when taking a dip. To store other valuables like cash and credit cards, get a cruise lanyard with a waterproof pouch (see below). Nor should you with your key card! Cruise lanyards are the hipper “fanny pack.” You’ll never be without your most valuable possession with it draped around your neck. You likely wouldn’t leave your passport in your jean-pockets while taking a dip in the ocean. You do not want it falling in the wrong hands on your ship and definitely don’t want to lose it once off the ship. Your cruise ship card is your ID, credit card, admission ticket, and passport wrapped in one. Don’t spend it looking for your key card. ![]() Instead of getting an ice-cold drink, we’d have to spend 20 minutes trekking down to the 5th deck to dig through our cabin to find the lost ID. Other times, it wouldn’t hit us until headed to the bar for a drink. Sometimes we’d notice when halfway down the hallway. Throughout the week, each of us left our cruise key cards in the room on several occasions. I could picture my husband smiling from the Lido Bar and made a note to punch him in the arm, which I later delivered even though completely my own fault. As I stood there listening to cranky cruisers arguing about gratuity, I vowed to never return. The customer service line was about 12 people deep. Getting a replacement didn’t cost any money, fortunately (some cruise lines charge a fee), but it did cost over an hour of precious cruise time. We lost a cruise key card on that first cruise. Some lanyards even offer retractable reels or detachable buckets for added speed and convenience. You’ll always know where to find your ID. At a packed bar, you don’t want to be “that guy” holding up your fellow passenger’s next mojito.Ĭonsistency is key! Cruise lanyards are the answer. You’ll be constantly fishing for your cruise key card. Some outfits (hey, ladies) won’t even have pockets. Whether headed to the pool, dinner, or dancing, you’ll have on a new set of digs with a different set of pockets. Expect to pull your cruise ship ID out of your pocket more than 50 times per day!
