I suppose you could leave them with the pool attendant but unless you are spending large amounts of time in the pool it's probably not worth it. The pool deck is well covered by surveillance cameras and most people know it. You can also leave the camera in your room while you go up to have a dip and put your key card in your swim suit pocket (unless of course you wear speedoes;)).

che5904 Posted November 8, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2011 You could always leave your camera in your stateroom, unless there is a particular reason you would have to bring it to the pool. As for the key card, you can get the front desk to punch a hole in in and hook it to your swim suit, you could get the clips that they use to hold name tags on sweaters. Or you can get a waterproof pouch to throw around your neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise-Crazy Posted November 8, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have left my key card and iPod in my carry bag on the deck chair many times with no problem. If I do this it is usually within sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise-Crazy Posted November 8, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Of course loosing the camera is more than the monetary loss of the camera, you loose all the pictures too. I would put it in the cabin just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband never goes to the pool with me so I'm essentially 'solo'. I've always left camera, key card in my tote with my book , bottled water, suncscreen etc. I've never had a problem with anything being taken.

johnsak123 Posted November 8, 2011 #11 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I am sure it will be fine but you dont want to leave anything expensive laying around The firsdt time I traveled on NCL I was traveling alone. The biggest probelm I had was the sad face from all the staff when they found out I was alone. I was fortunate enough to sail in a suite and I ate at Cagneys every day for breakie and lunch. It was comical the sad look the maitre d gave me the first few times I mentioned I was alone. Once she got to know me it was table for 1 and a smile Actually had a great time alone. Have a great trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 8, 2011 #12 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Use your key as your bookmark. Cover your camera with a towel or put it in your tote bag (you need something to carry your book, sunscreen, etc).....you won't be THAT far away that you can't keep an eye on it! And, ask the folks sitting near you to keep an eye out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here - my husband hates sunbathing so I'm on my own and I've never had an issue with anything disappearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkhair1 Posted November 9, 2011 #14 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I usually have a bag with that has my sunscreen, iPad, camera, and anything else I think I may need at the pool. I have never had anyone bother with the bag, even when I went on the great slides on the Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
