Being a newbie to cruising, I was wondering where do you keep your valuables when you our out of your room?

 

Thanks.

 

In the safe. They're usually large enough to handle 2 iPads and then some if that gives you a point of reference. I think all the safes have keypads now as opposed to card swipes but if I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me.

In room safes - fit my iPad with case but would not likely fit a laptop unless it was a 10" netbook or less. Not too small, plenty of room for passports, cash, jewelry, etc.

 

Major electronic gear like our D90 camera, I felt completely fine leaving it in the room. I do not think the room stewards place any value in that type of stuff and they value their jobs much more.

FWIW:

I bring a lock for my suitcase, not just for cruises but for all trips. That way if I have stuff I want to secure that is too large for the safe, I have a place to store them.

 

I am not trying to be a smart a$$ but wouldn't that just make it easier to carry everything out?

Potentially, but would be hard for a maid, or in the case of a cruise, room steward to hide a suitcase to steal a laptop vs. hiding a laptop alone.
