Keeping money dry?

[needabreakcanada]

Newbie question.

 

How can you keep your money dry while in port swimming?

 

Where does everyone stash thier money while in the water - on the beach and pray or some special container that swims with you?

 

Suggestions?

 

Thanks

I use a water wallet like what they have here............ http://www.witzsportcases.com/

I use this:

It can hold a few sea passes & credit cards and a good amount of money. It's great I cant even tell its in my pocket when in the water.

They also sell them in the RCI Store on board the ship. I think they are 10 bux and have the RCI Logo on them. They work great too !!

All of these options work fine. Even if it gets a little wet, it is still good - spoken as one who has sent quite a bit of cash through the wash cycle over the years.

Cash isn't hurt by getting wet...neither will your credit card or ship's room key....they're plastic.

 

 

I don't carry my stuff into the water with me. We're within sight of our "stuff" on the beach, even when we get wet...and we don't bring alot with us. i'll just stick key and credit card into the pages of my book. Unless you're doing more that just getting wet, you shouldn't have a problem keeping an eye on your spot on the beach!

We bought two of these for our cruise last November - they worked great and we were able to wear them around our necks while in the water. We also bought a slightly larger one to carry our camera around, but don't remember using it.

I bring a few snack size ziplock bags, perfect size for cash and a couple of cards. You can double bag them for insurance.

This is exactly what I have done as well. No point in spending money on something fancy...a plastic bag works just fine. Just make sure you have it completely closed! :eek:

I hadn't even bothered to look elsewhere, but... right here! Our very own CC has one too. :) http://www.cruisecritic.com/store/product.cfm?ID=26

Last year I went to the port and shopping show and was provided with a coupon for a free water wallet thing at diamonds international...so during our first stop in st. maarten I stopped there and got it (no purchase necessary) it is basically this plastic container about the size of a small digital camera that is on a string. It is the exact same thing as the link OklaCruiserMom posted except it says Diamonds International on it.

 

When I went swimming in port I used this and while it didnt work 100% there were only a few droplets of water inside which was not a big deal at all :)

 

So I'm not sure if they are still handing out those coupons or not but it's great to have one for no investment at all :D

I purchased the one from CC and have used it for YEARS.....works great! I even use it when I'm not near the water....just put my stuff in it, hang it around my neck and go!

 

Well worth $6!!!

We went to a local store that sells camping equipment where we found waterproof packs similar to what poster Kamusta1 showed. Everything kept totally dry when submerged. They come in different sizes.

Great idea! This way you can watch someone steal your stuff..........
