LadyDynasty106 Posted March 19, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hi Ladies, I have a question, when on the ship what kind of bag do you use? Last time I was having such a problem- I tried using a wrist-let, but it was to small, i had to hold my camera separately. Then I tried like a beach bag back pack and i was able to fit everything and even got my husband to carry it for a while :D, but if i was dressed up it didn't match my outfit:eek: Thanks!!!

cb at sea Posted March 19, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I just use a regular (but small!) purse! Nothing "cruise specific", but the sort of bag I'd carry to an outdoor concert, or someplace that you don't need a lot of "stuff"....enough room for comb, lipstick, tissues, perfume, etc.....little stuff! You don't need a HUGE bag, but it's nice to have some "fix up" stuff with you....it's a LONG walk to the cabin all the time! I think my last small purse came from Belk....not big enough for my huge wallet, but plenty big and lightweight for the aforementioned items!

GORDONCHICK Posted March 19, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I carry an evening bag for dinner, but have a messenger bag for excursions. I don't really carry anything around the ship during the day that won't fit into my pockets. If I go get my big camera, I'm walking around shooting so I don't need anything else to carry while doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksmom09 Posted March 20, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I have a black Coach wristlet in a satiny material that I use for dinner/night activities! But during the day I use a Vera Bradley "mailbag"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted March 20, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2011 At night, I carry an evening bag. During the day - I carry a nylon tote bag or sling bag (I have a few to choose from - Ameribag healthy back bag, lesportsac tote, Timbuk2 tote...) During the day - I always have a water bottle and reading material with me, in addition to a camera, money etc. At night - just need a camera, lip balm, and room key:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maddycat Posted March 20, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I use a Le Sportsac mini bag while on the ship. In port I use a larger Le Sportsac bag. I love them. They're light weight and washable. They last forever. I buy mine during the Le Sportsac twice yearly sales (fall and spring). I was able to buy the Shellie crossbody bag at Lord and Taylors last spring during the 25% off promotion and also use a Lord and Taylor 20% off coupon. Macy's also has a large selection of Le Sportsac. 7640 Shellie Crossbody 7507 Deluxe Everyday Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi2you Posted March 24, 2011 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Usually just use my pockets. Clutch for dressy nights. I do take a beach bag for excursions and I may use it on occasion sitting pool side. My regular purse is messanger style where the strap can adjust to wear it regular shoulder as well.

KandCsailing Posted March 25, 2011 #11 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I have a Hedgren brand mini camera bag in black that I can carry around the ship or in port with my camera, sea pass, driver's license , money and lipbalm. The strap is ajustable that I usually wear it cross-body, but the strap also un-clips on both sides and I've used it as a plain black clutch on formal nights too since my hand covers most of it.

LakeGoddess Posted March 26, 2011 #12 Share Posted March 26, 2011 On sea days, we were mostly lounging on a deck so I had a neutral colored beach bag to hold wallet, kindle, sunscreen, camera, etc. For evenings, I used a dressy clutch. I also used the beach bag on excursion days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirmd01 Posted March 26, 2011 #13 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Partner's pockets at night- his rucksack in the day:D. But for when he rebels, then I have a small leather bag that also is attached to a metal ring that fits over my wrist for at night & I have a Tripadviser tote bag for daytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy ks Posted April 2, 2011 #15 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I use a small cross body bag for day use, I have both a Baggalini and a Kipling to choose from, whether on or off the ship. For evening I have 2 small purses, a black leather one for casual nights, a dressier one for formal nights. I only carry with me the bare necessities, lipstick, reading glasses,sunglasses, my camera is tiny, sometimes a very small water bottle and any paperwork I may need. An FYI nothing gets packed empty into the suitcase, if I don't have costume jewelry in the bags, I have other things like socks, extra toiletries (in a ziploc), belts...whatever fits.

tlcs Posted April 2, 2011 #16 Share Posted April 2, 2011 We used a very small camera case with a long cross body strap. It had a very small outside pocket that held our S&S cards and a main pocket that held our small camera. I used it at night for dinner's and switched to a formal clutch on formal nights.
