Carrying phone on cruise...

[sprint180]

Since cruise lines are starting to go paperless I was wondering how you women are carrying your phone.  I usually don't have pockets, or carry a purse on a cruise and I am not used to carrying a phone.  I wanted a cross body phone purse but the ones on Amazon seem so big.  Has anyone found a really small one?

Thanks

Vicki

Small crossbody bags can be found at many stores like Kohls & Target. The ones I have fit my iPhone and SeaPass card perfectly.

I'm not sure how small you want but on Amazon if you search for crossbody cell phone wallets you'll find little bags that only fit your phone and maybe some cash.  Like this:

After seeing so many people in the street..... I thought the phone was joined to the hand.....

For something a tad more stylish than a plastic thing:  Fjallraven Pocket.  go to their website.  Looks like it would do the job.  If I didn't have my old buffalo leather bag this size from the original Banana Republic (of about 40 years ago), I'd get one of these.  It's $40 but looks so much nicer.

If I'm hanging out on the ship, I've usually got a totebag with books, sunscreen, and water bottle. It's no problem to toss my phone in with it. Off ship, I usually have a back pack, though I did get one of the secure phone wallets from REI recently.

I have this one and really like it.

Ladies! Go to Amazon and search for "BAMBOO TRADING CO. CLUB BAG"

It is the perfect size for a cruise. You can get them in all different colors and designs. I have a fancier one for dinner, and a fun pink one with a mermaid on it for during the day !

LOL I just ordered one from that same group yesterday!! 

I accidentally ordered a leather one first & it was too heavy so got a nylon one.

Which one is the nylon one?

5 colors--but I always go black as it goes with everything & doesn't show dirt.

Thanks --- I like the look of the other one better  -- how heavy is too heavy?

With a neck injury & notoriously tight shoulders, I gotta go as light as possible, so I am probably more sensitive than the average gal. But since I am carrying it much of the day, I prefer nylon over leather for this purpose. When the leather one came (another brand) I knew immediately it felt too heavy.

I got this little bag when it was on sale. It is big enough to hold my cell phone, lip balm, 3 ounce sunscreen, and sunglasses. I got the bluebird (turquoise) color. I got the black with gunmetal trim for my college age niece. She liked it. https://www.qvc.com/Aimee-Kestenberg-Leather-Crossbody-with-RFID---Tamitha.product.A398758.html?sc=PRODFEED&TZ=EST

I have a cross body by Le Sport Sac which fits my phone, and other small objects.  Bought it years ago in Marshalls.

 

I wonder if we still have the option of asking for paper versions of the ships daily activity sheet.

I only buy small crossbody bags that my phone, a lip gloss, readers and my keys will fit.  
My current favorites are Rebecca Minkoff nylon crossbody bags .  They are stylish and lightweight because of the fabric.

Just picked up a SUPER lightweight crossbody (leather? probably vinyl) at Target about 4x6.$15. Perfect.

 

(MUCH lighter than the one I ordered on Amazon--the 3 zippers add so much weight. OF COURSE I took off the tags so no returning it. ugh)

I ordered this one from Amazon last year for when I wanted to take a walk on the beach.  I wanted something super lightweight to carry my phone and glasses and it works well for that.  It also has some slots and a zipper pocket inside and measures about 7" x 4.5".  I think it will work well on our upcoming cruises.

 

 

It looks like the have a "new" version on Amazon now that's slightly bigger.

& I really like that it's lightweight.

Vera Bradley has a lot of great options - lightweight and washable, too!

I'm loving the one with all the Washi Tape stripes! Only $2 more and it will go with everything!

 

I've been telling myself I will warp up my little loom and make myself a phone-bag, but thinking $22 is a small price to guarantee myself a portable pocket!
