G&TQ Posted January 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2010 When preparing for our last cruise I bought lanyards for us to use while on board. While shopping I found a really small purse ($5 Wally world) with detachable shoulder strap. The purse is just large enough form my camera, my sign & sail, my coke card a little cash, lip stick and my phone. It was small enough and the strap long enough to wear across my body and leave my hands free with out being intrusive. I thought it was great and have used it a lot since. Especially when shopping and traveling as it will fit under a coat or jacket and makes less of a target for pickpockets. I just thought I would share! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail811 Posted January 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I found something similar at the dollar store....works great on ship, and slightly more stylish :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted January 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Sounds good. I have something similar that also holds my passport. I use it when I go into ports (yes, I'm one of those folks who always carries my passport with me when I'm in a foreign country.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fungusgnat Posted January 15, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I just love to have an excuse to go shopping ---- Wally World and Dollar Stores - perfect hunting grounds!!!! Thanks for the inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted January 15, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have one for passports I bought on ebay. I only wear it when Im getting on or off the ship and need to show my passport. Too bulky to wear as a laynard all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Deem Posted January 15, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Uppity, While we were on a Ren cruise in France, we had to come & go outta port according to the tide. We needed to get out & 1 Couple wasn't on the boat. They found a cop, showed them their passport copies & got a police escort to the ship so we wouldn't be stuck in the mud & they wouldn't miss the ship! Needless to say, that taught us to carry ours too! Keep the info in your pocket, you never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
