cb at sea Posted July 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2014 We don't bring much...a bit of cash, 1 credit card...not the one we link our ship's account to...and that's it! Don't bring an expensive camera....use a disposable....no one wants the photos, and no one will steal a throwaway camera! I stick cash/credit card into the pages of an old paperback book while I take a dip. I can easily watch my stuff while I get wet. Or, hubby and I will take turns.... If you're on an excursion, you can leave your stuff in the boat/bus...whatever, while you're in the water. A velcroed pocket on swim trunks can hold cash, credit card and room key...water won't hurt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmoo here Posted July 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2014 My DH and I are going on a western Caribbean cruise next week & I'm wondering -- What do you do with your money/wallet/purse, camera, phones, etc while on beach at port of you wanna go swimming!? When we go on beach or water involved excursions we only take our ship's card, ID (driver's license) and some cash, plus a waterproof camera. No phone. Your ship's card and DL as well as the cash can get wet. Same with the camera. My husband has a pocket in his swim trunks for putting his "stuff" in. I have a more intimate spot in my swim suit for carrying "stuff" ;). And the camera stays on by wrist via floatable wrist strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseFanatic123 Posted July 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm a pretty paranoid person, so I usually have a waterproof case with me and I just throw everything it and swim with it. Weird I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovetotravel1977 Posted July 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2014 You could use one of these for money, cards, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted July 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Do not leave any valuables on the beach. Take minimal items with you. Take a waterproof container that you can wear around your neck. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinman66 Posted July 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I take very little ashore if swimming Either have friends watch bags or wear shorts with Velcro and zip pockets to hold card and money Take as little as possible Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyrocks922 Posted July 21, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 21, 2014 if you must leave anything on the beach stick it in a book or under a couple of folded articles of clothing. Don't leave anything in a shoe, it's the first spot thieves check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsKChicago Posted July 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I haven't been on a cruise specifically, but when we traveled through the Yucatan in December, a lot of the beach clubs and snorkel tours and such had lockers you could rent. Then you only had to deal with a locker key. I'd probably bring as little as possible and either take it into the water or rent a locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
