Ladies - what do you take poolside?

[wrigley80]

I always bring my beach bag with........sunscreen, iPod, my Nook, sunglasses, beach towel, sail and sign card (so that I can get my diet coke). I prefer to lay out in the Serenity area. It is my favorite area on board

[patrice1]

I have a great beach bag that was a freebie from Bath & Body Works. Lots of compartments and places to put things and it has held up for 6 years. Take both towels, camera, iphone (use as an ipod), ipad, S&S, kindle, hairbrush, stretch bands that hold towels in place on chairs, DH's hat, sunglasses, regular cheaters, and lipstick.:rolleyes:

[IslandToIsland]

These are the ones I have..I also bring a small backpack kind of thingy.

 

Loving that backpack. :D

[deborahjo]

I will have my glasses, drink cup, kleenex and maybe a book to take to the pool area.

 

What do you ladies take to put it in?

 

Thanks,

 

We always set away from the crowd of the pool but this is what we take:

 

Water to drink.

Beach bag

Towel

Suntan loton

Walkman for music to listen to

Kindle to read

Sunglasses

Puzzle Book- I love to work puzzles.

Something to pull my hair back with.

Sun hat

I saw this bag mentioned some time back here on CC and ordered one (via ebay --- cheaper than on the site). I absolutely LOVE it!! It's very durable and I use it quite a lot. http://www.kyssbags.com/

 

I only used the "lock it" feature once, but even without that, the bag is nicely sized, holds tons of stuff and seems to be a quality product. I would highly recommend it.

 

Have fun!

 

Hahaha -- when they do the new "Chair Hogging Rounds" and remove items left over 45 minutes, they will have trouble with that bag!! :D

Now I know what I have to shop for....and i so hate shopping ;)

I have a medium sized straw purse that I carry around the ship/to the pool.

Sunscreen, sunglasses, cameras, binoculars, the usual.

We carry clips from my DH's workshop, which he has rigged up with a short length of ski cord, to clip our hats/towels to the chairs. Work great. The clips are the type that come in different sizes to hold items in place that you are gluing together.

I've got a small purse size tote bag that I got at the Christmas Tree Shop for $2 that I'll use to put my sunscreen, lip balm, book and sunglasses in.

Why not be trendy, wear your bathrobe, stick you S&S card in your pocket along with a small bottle of sunscreen, wear your hat/visa and sunnies. Blend with the crowd. Robe doubles for towel. Throw a book or magazine under your arm. Two hands free for DOD's. If only I was uninhibited enough. LOL

[two4me]

I bring a pool boy with me, hahahaha

[maruba]

I bring a pool boy with me, hahahaha

Now why did I not think of that!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Texarribean Chick]

I always prep my pool bag the night before and it contains (pretty standard every day whether it's a sea day or port day):

 

S&S card

I.D.

Passport (if we are going ashore)

towels

sunscreen

visor

lip balm and lip stick

Ipod/ear buds

water

tumbler/straw (usually filled with some frosty beverage ;))

cigs

playing cards

Fun times

[Silent Penguin]

Hahaha -- when they do the new "Chair Hogging Rounds" and remove items left over 45 minutes, they will have trouble with that bag!! :D

 

 

LOL. I was waiting for this!

[thinkpink]

i take a suitcase full of things i could possibly need :rolleyes: notttt

 

i take myself, a towel, sunscreen, and a drink

[sahminny]

We take towels, sunscreen, sunglasses, reading material, camera, cell phone for a clock, my visor/hats for the kiddos, hair clips and ties... and I haven't seen this mentioned, but a lot of times I'll tuck a plastic bag of some sort in so we can throw away trash.... IDK why, but we use it occasionally. ;)

 

I really like that bag with the lock... now to convince dh! ;)

This is a great bag. I just about bought one when I started thinking I could easily adapt one of my own tote bags with a locking system. Thank you for the idea.

The only difference being, I don't get up at O'God Thirty to "reserve" a chair, and if I did, my butt would be in said chair along with my bag! :D

[pmcubed]

This will be my first Carnival Cruise. On HAL they give you a bag - so I guess I'll have to remember to pack one. There were towels poolside so I never packed one. I took the daily mini newspaper that HAL left for us and a pencil to do the puzzle in it. I packed my kindle (a MUST), my card, sunglasses, water, and sunscreen.

 

If I got too warm in the sun, I would move to the shade.

 

I can't wait for March!!!

 

 

 

[BSQ]

I know you asked about the ladies, but BubbaQ takes all kinds o crap to the pool or beach. suntan lotion, face lotion, sunglasses, iPod, lense cleaner & cloth .... and goodness knows what else he has, so ...

 

 

I had gotten one of these as a freebie at work so I gave it to him. I tease him about taking his Dooney "purse" to the pool.

[Donna_In_India]

I will have my glasses, drink cup, kleenex and maybe a book to take to the pool area.

 

What do you ladies take to put it in?

 

Thanks,

 

I bought a Kyss bag (http://www.kyssbags.com/) to use on our last cruise and loved it! Even used it at the beach.
