Favorite holder for stuff

[Southerngal410]

Ladies, what is your go to or favorite thing to take with you during the day on the ship to keep your key card, etc in? 

[drumming cruisers]

My DH, he always wears cargo pants, or cargo shorts. 

[KatHaven]

Lanyard with clear pouch for key card, passport card, credit card and maybe a small amount of cash.

[gzmtlock]

A string bag (light fabric backpack).

[Oceansaway17]

I would say a small to medium cross body bag with zipper compartments.

or a fanny pack.

[BirdTravels]

Small purse. We never use anything that exposes PII. 

[YVRteacher]

Small crossbody purse for phone, room key and lip gloss.

During the day on the ship, I usually take a small tote bag with handles.  I normally carry my kindle, a small sewing or coloring project, and my Tervis cup.

 

Going ashore, I usually put my keycard, DL, and credit card in a zip pocket in my shorts.  I also carry a collapsible tote clipped to my belt loop in case we buy something.

[Purple_Pig]

Super small purse because I rarely have pockets.

[Sailing12Away]

I have one of these: https://chums.com/products/surfshorts-wallet

 

Small with 2 zipper pouches. Keep my ID, room key, 1 credit card, and a small bit of cash locked up in there. Fits easily into any pocket.

 

For just being around the ship, I use the Haven room key holder. Even if we're not in Haven, I use an old one. Again, perfectly fits the room key as that's all I need.

I have a lanyard that I keep my card and a few dollars for tipping in. If I've got more stuff that I want to carry I have a small Vera Bradley purse that I carry that holds my phone and whatever else. 

If I have pockets I just throw everything in my pockets so I don't lose anything.

Yep, Boss Lady does the same

[sprint180]

I don't take anything.  I use a retractable lanyard thing.

On my last cruise I used a water bottle holder cross body bag and it worked perfectly. I always had my water bottle with me (filled it at the buffet at breakfast and lunch) and there was a pocket for my phone, my room key, and my pills. This is the one I used

That is such a cute bag!  I didn't know I wanted another bag. But here we are.

I love this idea! Can you share a link or brand?

[laudergayle]

Onboard it depends on what we’re doing…anything from pockets to beach bag.  I have a small wallet with a gold chain that can act as a bracelet or hook to my bag.
 

Off ship a crossbody.  However, we’re doing southern Caribbean soon with beach and snorkeling on several islands. I am considering wearing the underclothes travel money belt with our cash, drivers license and credit card in a plastic bag.  That way we both can enjoy being in the water and not having to worry about our wallet/purse being swiped.

The brand is Beis - it's a bit pricy, but I have their luggage and I was wanting free shipping when I bought a couple other things, so I added it to my cart lol. BUT... Amazon sells similar items. Just search "Water bottle sling bag" and you'll see a bunch of options.

[tonit964]

On the ship, lanyard for the cruise card and cargo pants with pockets for my phone. Off the ship a small cross body bag.
