Beachfrog Posted January 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Just curious. While I have several “beach bags“, they are too large to carry on the ship. What type of tote bag do you carry while on the Lido deck? Such as to carry your sunglasses, sunscreen, hats, etc.? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted January 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I have a tote bag that is lined for wet items it is about 18" by 20" works OK for me you can get small backpacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9tee2Sea Posted January 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2023 look into daypacks. Small enough to carry essentials, but easy to conceal under towels. I have a great cross body sling bag that i use for going out on excursions. I like to pick up pamphlets and a do a scrapbook with some cut outs and pictures 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted January 20, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I have a zippered canvas tote that was a freebie from a Celebrity cruise. It's several years old and has been used on every cruise and resort stay since. Still good as new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted January 20, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Look at luglife.com for packable totes and backpacks. The backpacks hold more than two beach towels. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMamainMN Posted January 21, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I use thisBydenwely Women's Tote Bag Small... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KWV7943?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share small tote bag. Holds a tiny zippered wallet hing for my Sea Oass card, sunscreen, sunglasses case, my Kindle, a word search book for my husband, and chapstick. We get a dry towel at the towel station and find a chair, we don’t need ack them or carry them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum2Mercury Posted January 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I bring three bags onboard, and I consider them the perfect combination: 1. I wear a small day-pack while boarding. This is enough to hold electronics, medicines, documents and anything else I don't want to "send through" with the porters. I also use this for island stops. 2. I pack a small open-top tote, which originally held gift items from Bath & Body Works. It's 15" wide x 7" high, making it considerably smaller than the average beach tote bag. I like this size because it's big enough to hold sunscreen, sunglasses and my Kindle -- but it easily fits under my pool chair. I can roll up a beach towel and lay it over the top /hold it in place by carrying the tote with the handles. I rarely carry a hat, but -- if I were to do so -- I'd unhook the back closure and hook the hat around one of the straps. I really enjoy this tote and have probably had it 15 years. 3. A small wristlet purse to carry to dinner or around the ship. This is enough to carry my sea pass, a chapstick, a small lotion, and a camera. I always keep a purse hook, which allows me to hook the wristlet on a table instead of keeping it on my lap. These are my exact bags -- except that my Lily Bloom purse is a different pattern: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM Right -- if you've already downloaded the books at home, you can access them on the ship. On the other hand, if you were trying to buy a new book /download a new book onboard, you'd need to have internet service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you have shipboard internet, your data-cap may prevent getting any but the smallest book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
