How to Snorkel without losing my SeaPass?

[WiganDave]

I have treated myself to a South Asia cruise on the Mariner of the Seas! As a single traveller I was wondering if anyone had any experience of snorkelling at Phi Phi Island? This is a shore excursion available directly from Royal Caribbean. On there site they list item under the heading "What To Bring".

 

SeaPass card and photo identification being one of them.

 

My question is, where do I put my SeaPass & my photo ID when I'm in the sea?

 

And what is classed as sufficient photo ID? Does this mean my passport?

Having not traveled RCCL in a few years, but Carnival has the same things. A photo id is a US drivers license showing your picture. To keep things dry, I have a waterproof case (3x4x3/4) that has a lanyard. I just put this around my neck while I snorkle. I keep the license, sail&sign (same as your seapass), a credit card, and some cash in the case.

You can simply put your SeaPass and drivers' license (and possibly a credit card) in a zippered pocket. They will not be damaged if they get wet. Put cash in a ziplock bag.

Ain't seen cash yet that wasn't waterproof

 

nor a merchant that wouldn't take it wet!

 

Photo ID: no you do not need your passport. A driver's L will work and IME today's are typically computer printed on hard plastic, so waterproof

 

but if you want a "universal solution"

 

 

I bought mine on ships and in dive shops (have a drawer full of 'em!)

 

small/blue holds DL, sea pass and MasterCard plus a few folded bills

 

red is large enough to hold this and a soft pack of cig's
