Can I punch a hole in my SeaPass for a lanyard on Symphony of the Seas?

No. Symphony of the Seas is not the place to give your SeaPass a DIY piercing. That card is stuffed with RFID that opens your stateroom and funds your pool-bar diplomacy, and one ambitious hole punch can turn it into a very sad souvenir. Guest Services will not punch it for a clip lanyard either, which is their polite way of saving your vacation from an unplanned trip back to the desk. Pack a lanyard with a transparent plastic sleeve instead, leave the SeaPass inside, and tap your way around the ship like you planned this all along.

A clear sleeve works for cabin doors, onboard purchases, and getting on and off in port, so you do not need to fish the card out every five minutes. If your SeaPass ever stops working, Guest Services can replace it. Bring the sleeve first and you get to spend embarkation day exploring Symphony, not waiting in line for a reprint.
