An alternative to lanyards

[G&TQ]

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!

I found something similar at the dollar store....works great on ship, and slightly more stylish :D

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.)

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.

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!

I have never taken my passport off the ship at ports.

I have NEVER taken my passport off the ship---ONLY copies---as I stated. And will continue to take COPIES off tucked in DH wallet.
