7 Smart Ways to Carry a Cruise Card (lanyards & alternatives)

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses various methods for carrying a cruise card to prevent the hassle of misplacing it. She explains that the cruise card serves as a cabin key, a method of payment, and a requirement for reboarding the ship. While lanyards are a common choice, the creator suggests using a lanyard with a retractable reel or a plastic pouch to avoid damaging the card. For those who dislike wearing lanyards, she presents several alternatives including phone pouch holders, waterproof phone pouch lanyards, and waterproof waist pouches which are useful for water excursions or beach trips. She also mentions the use of belt bags or crossbody bags for a more discreet option. Additionally, the video addresses Princess Cruises, which uses medallions instead of traditional cards, noting that travelers can use accessories like AirTag holders or wristbands to manage them. The creator concludes by offering her cruise planner resource and inviting viewers to share their own preferred methods for carrying cruise cards.
