lindaa Posted May 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi everyone We are going to cruise Asia next year. After reading the post where the lady had her laptop and watch stolen from her room and seeing where several people say they do not take expensive jewelry with them at all... I was just wondering if you wear your wedding rings when cruising? If you do, do you wear them on shore excursions also? The sentimental value of my ring makes it irreplaceable but when I don't have it on I feel undressed. I would hate to leave it at home but..... Thanks for your experiences!

Colo Cruiser Posted May 28, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I take everything on a cruise and wear everything on a cruise. Never been worried about theft onboard. It gets locked up when not in use. I just don't wear certain things on shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2cruise Posted May 28, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Definitely wear my wedding rings on a cruise. What I might do in some instances is put the diamond in the safe and only wear the wedding band......but basically never leave home without it:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggprincess2004 Posted May 28, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yes, the wedding ring, the engagement ring, etc. They get locked in the safe if not being worn, and I do not wear "real" jewelry ashore, with the exception of my watch. I have a simple band I wear as a wedding ring when going ashore. I do not wear the "good stuff" to the pool when I remember to take it off, just the simple band. I forget a lot....especially when it is going to be only an hour or two at the pool. It feels weird not to have at least a wedding band on.

mr green Posted May 28, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Have never heard of not wearing wedding rings on a cruise, I even refused to take mine off in the army. That being said do not 'flash' jewellery when going ashore. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrockwitt Posted May 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Take only costume jewelry when traveling abroad. I have talked to people that have been robbed. Won't take the chance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I have removed my rings was for the dolphin swim. I left them in the safe in the room. My sister could not get hers off, so the made her wrap a bandaid around it.

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted May 28, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I have three rings- my engagement ring, an eternity band and my plain, probably less than $100 wedding band. I wear all three on the ship; I wear only my wedding band off the ship. I also have a nice watch that I wear on the ship; off the ship I wear a $10 WalMart watch (DH calls it my Walex). However, I've always thrown the two rings and the watch in a nightstand drawer when we leave the cabin. I should lock them up...but they're all insured plus we have travel insurance so I've never felt alike I'm taking a risk. I have sentimental jewelry that I never travel with. It's not insured, as it's less than $1200 a piece, but I would be sick if I lost any of that. It goes in the safe deposit box when we're away.

PunkiC Posted May 28, 2014 #14 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I wear a lot of jewelry on the ship, but always remove almost all of it when I go ashore. Sometimes I will wear my gold hoop earrings on shore. Whenever I feel even a little bit uncomfortable in my surroundings, I remove the jewelry and put it in my purse, but 90% of the time at home I wear it.

FritzG Posted May 28, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Depending on the port I will leave my wedding ring in the safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted May 28, 2014 #16 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yes, I take whatever jewelry I wish on cruises ... but put it all in the safe when getting off the ship at ports of call. DH and I both put our good watches in the safe and wear our inexpensive Swatch watches when not on the ship. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenshop Posted May 28, 2014 #17 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I bring it all and wear it on the ship. I use discretion about jewelry off the ship. I have insurance, so I don't go crazy worrying about it getting stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomelessBear Posted May 28, 2014 #18 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I wear a wedding ring wherever I am. I leave the more "expensive" diamond rings in the safe onboard when out and about. I wore a simulated solitaire diamond ring on the last cruise (platinum coated ring). It was really inexpensive. In Diamonds International, one of the sales ladies pointed to my ring and said how gorgeous it was! I said "thank you" and made a hasty retreat, just in case she wanted to look at it further and I was rumbled that it wasn't real! If it could fool a jeweller, it must be a "good fake"!

How much longer will if give you an excuse not to wear your wedding band? :rolleyes: .. :D LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyoftheseas Posted May 28, 2014 #23 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It depends on where I am cruising. I wear my wedding band and engagement ring on most cruises but, when I went to Africa and Egypt I wore a inexpensive gold band ($70). In some countries it is recommended to wear a wedding band even if you are not married especially if you are traveling alone to make it look like you are there with someone.

Kartgv Posted May 28, 2014 #24 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I never take it off except for occasional cleaning. If I were so worried about a port that I felt I needed to leave the ring in the safe, I probably would skip the port. If you do put jewelry in the safe, put it in a large envelope or something easy to see so that you don't accidently leave it behind. There have been several threads about people leaving jewelry or other small valuables behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted May 28, 2014 #25 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Always wear my rings- wedding band,engagement ring and diamond anniversary ring. My DH always wears his gold wedding band-he can't get his ring off! We never leave home without the rings and our watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
