A Lanyard for Your Cruise

Your cruise card is a must carry while you’re cruising. It functions as your ID, your room key, your credit card, your way to check into activities, check out towels and more.

It’s no wonder that lanyards have become a fixture on cruises. Super easy access to something you’ll need all the time and… you don’t even need a pocket.

Most Lanyards are… Super Cheap

One thing that cruise lanyards seem to have in common (at least in my opinion) is that they’re cheap. Both cheap in price and cheaply made. Sometimes a small upgrade that costs a few dollars more can make a big difference.

It’s with that idea in mind that I went looking for a higher quality lanyard…. there must be a better way! 🙂

Conclusions

I’ve used a number of lanyard designs over my years cruising. There’s no question there are lots of cheap options out there. This one does cost a little more, but it’s, generally speaking, still reasonably priced. It’s well built and packed with features to make daily use onboard easier. I think this one is worth a hard look for use on your next cruise.
