jerseymermaid Posted February 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I would like to ask all you cruisers out there, when you go to the beach what do you do with your valuables (camera, phone, cc, cash etc). thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmoo here Posted February 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I would like to ask all you cruisers out there, when you go to the beach what do you do with your valuables (camera, phone, cc, cash etc). thank you. I have a waterproof camera that stays strapped to my wrist. Don't take my phone (who am I going to call/text?). Credit cards, ships's cards, and driver's licenses, as well as cash, can get wet - they go in a pocket in my swimsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karyn RN Posted February 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2018 There are lock boxes that you can lock to a chair or a tree, many different ones out there. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do when you go to the beach at home? If we are with friends, then we rotate watching each other’s stuff. If just us and the kids, we rotate. If snorkeling off of a boat, we rotate. If on our own, we rotate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 27, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I would not leave anything on the beach that is not watched by you or someone you are with. We minimize what we take and we put them in something that is waterproof if going into the water. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since renting an alligator to protect your stuff is out of the question, how about just leaving the valuables (like your iPhone) locked up in your cabin? Get a waterproof case, either on line or at the ship's gift shop, to put your credit card and a few dollars in. If you must have a camera, purchase an inexpensive disposable camera prior to your cruise. Make friends with your beach neighbors and offer to watch their stuff while they're swimming and ask if they'll do the same for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herfnerd Posted February 27, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Don't bring my cellphone and have a waterproof camera that goes in the water with us. Credit cards, cash, ship's card, ID all go into a Witz Surfsafe case that is in my swimsuit pocket or around my neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia67 Posted February 27, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 27, 2018 In the past we haven’t brought much (definitely no iPhone), have waterproof cameras, and take turns watching for each other. This year, I’ve bought a lockbox safe that I can attach to a heavy or immovable object. I know that it’s not foolproof, but it will be a major deterrent. A thief would either have to have cable cutters or steal the chair/table/umbrella I will attach it to. Both would draw attention to them.

dsrdsrdsr Posted February 27, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Putting stuff in a safe will deter the opportunist thief, but I would have thought it would attract the "professional" thief - a random carrier bag probably has nothing valuable in it; a safe certainly has something valuable. Unless the object it's attached to really is immovable, I can well imagine them picking up the chair and taking it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emtb12 Posted March 3, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 3, 2018 We bring a baby’s diaper. Wrap up our items and place them on our beach chair. No one has ever touched our belongings. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie_WA Posted March 4, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I have a KYSS (keep your stuff safe) bag...it has a steal chain and lock inside that you wrap around a chair, post etc. to keep it safe! This way we can both enjoy the water at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some videos on Youtube with helpful ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseyfive Posted March 5, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Don't bring my cellphone and have a waterproof camera that goes in the water with us. Credit cards, cash, ship's card, ID all go into a Witz Surfsafe case that is in my swimsuit pocket or around my neck Thanks for the tip! Just ordered a Witz Surfsafe case. Last year on our cruise, we didn't feel our belongings were safe on the beach while we were swimming, so we took turns watching our stuff along with another couple. For Septembers cruise, you can find us in the water with no worries! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
