snickerbilly Posted January 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2011 What do you guys do with your stuff (cash, cc's, passport, camera etc.) when at the beaches? We will be sailing on the Carnival Victory in May to multiple islands in the Southern Carribbean and would hate to get ripped off while snorkeling or swimming with my wife.

I keep all my valuables ($$, credit card, id...etc) around my neck in a waterproof pouch. Towel, flip flops, cover-up...etc..stays on the beach because no one wants that. If you are traveling with several people, you guys can take turns watching each other stuff too, but I still keep anything important on me anyway just in case they decide to go use the restroom or something and I'm in the water.

Justsyd Posted January 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2011 We do the same. The waterproof cases are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted January 25, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The difficulty is the camera. Either you need enough people to take turns watching stuff like that, or leave it on the ship. Sometimes there are lockers available, but I don't know if they are always trustworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the camera can be tough...For beach days, we usually take the cheapest digital one that we have off the ship with no pictures on it from other days or a waterproof disposable one with us. If it got swiped we would be disappointed somewhat for the pictures we lost from that day only, but it doesn't have much monetary value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruzVinnieCruz Posted January 25, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2011 You can also invest in a portable safe (beach safe). The one we have is made by PacSafe but they come in a different sizes. It has a steel mesh woven into the bag with a steel cable and padlock to secure it. If the DW and I want to snorkel or swim together we put our valuables in it and then wrap the steel cable around either a tree or the lounger. Here is a link to Amazon for the one we have: http://www.amazon.com/Pacsafe-Travelsafe-Anti-Theft-Portable-Black/dp/B0018BQGSU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295981869&sr=8-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine3360 Posted January 25, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Now that we have a very small waterproof camera, life is easier. It also is shock resistent and no sand gets in it. I have a small waterproof case that goes around my waist that I put room key and money in. The money seems to get a little wet, but to date no one has refused any.I don't believe I have to have my passport. Never have carried it. I have a life jacket for camera that goes around my arm, so don't have to worry about dropping it. Those cameras sink fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket63 Posted January 25, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Had a friend lose his sign and sail card out of his board shorts at HMC. Be careful if you keep a CC or cash in those pockets while swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorkel2Much Posted January 25, 2011 #11 Share Posted January 25, 2011 AquaPac makes inexpensive clear waterproof bags that range in size from "SailnSign plus cash" to "Large Camera". I haven't had one fail yet, but I replace mine every year or so. Try a Google search for AquaPac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim300 Posted January 25, 2011 #12 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I have a waterproof digital camera as well. Last year I purchased a waterproof case to hold my Sail and sign card, cash, etc. I love it- they come in a variety of sizes, but this is the one I chose: http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/WTZFKIS.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
