Deck or Beach Bag.

[hollywood34711]

For Florida cruisers, Publix does sell the one for four bottles, but used alone might be too small.

basill1970f...sure, I can always find something to obsess on regarding cruising! My family has a great time, but really they can't take my constant chatter on anything cruise related.

Holly,

I cannot recall a day since my first sailing 6 years ago that I havent said the word cruise at least once.. ;)

 

speaking of publix.. oh gosh their chicken fingers are sooo delicious... the ones from the deli... ohhh drool....... no publix here but you bet your biffy when im around a publix thats what I get ;)

I know what you mean. I'll drop you an email. We are in planning mode, which is the part I almost enjoy as much as the actual cruise.

Holly :)

We use a backpack with several compartments. Keep the camera and cell phone in one separate from sun screen. Towels in the large compartment, etc. Works great and is easy to carry ashore.

I think as well the backpack would be the best for ashore... would hold more and be easier to tote around..

We also take it up on deck.

[basill1970f]

Instead if putting multiple things in baggies- why not put the cream/lotion into a baggie?

 

As far as the multi compartment bag- I'm WAY too disorganized. I'd rather poke around.

lol on the poke around... just think maybe with the bag you would be organized :D j/k each person has their way of doing things.. im getting so i can finally travel with less clothes as i know half of what i pack never seems to get worn.. and if i dont take dress clothes and get no pictures thats even less space i need and less money that i spend.. less clothes to put in room closet less to repack lol i could go on and on..

 

but oh arent those ship photos so beautiful... believe me i have several of them..

Looks good for deck use. I wouldn't carry it on shore tho. A non zippable bag is just asking for someone to grab your ipod or such.

Nothing says, "cruising" to me...like a Kroger Bag!

The perfect deck bag exists - and it IS much like this wine bag. It's called the "Rocket Pocket" by Bungalow Scout. They sell them on ebay. Six wine bottle sized pockets on the outside and a secure center compartment that zips up and fits a beach towel. Just go to ebay and do a search. They come in all different pretty fabrics that are sturdy and water resistant and look much cuter with your suit than a Kroeger's bag. Only catch is they do cost $35 which is bit steep compared the ol' Kroeger's model. If you want to stay low budget, Trader Joe's makes an inexpensive 6 bottle wine tote just like Kroegers but it is maroon colored. You can get those on ebay too for $2.49.

Or just put a carnival sticker over the Kroger logo.:D

[hollywood34711]

your humble thread launches a whole new fashion rage... grocery chic. Anyone from the DC area... how about a Giant Food wrap for those cool evenings in the dining room?

[WAcruisers]

What a wonderful idea! I don't drink wine but I will look in our local store for the prices. I lost my ear bud cover last year on a cruise and one of these bags would be perfect for everything I need to carry for on deck:D

[ladycaveat]

I'll be headed to Harris Twetter (or however you spell it) tomorrow. What a great idea . . . :p

[wags111]

i bought a vera bradley hipster on ebay to take things onshore. nice long strap and not to big just enough room for id, money etc cute colors too

Shoot, why didn't I think of that??? I could have saved $35!:eek:
