davidkentholt Posted April 25, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2008 This may seem like a silly question, but it's coming from people who've never even been to a beach. There's supposed to be a beautiful beach around the Tulum ruins where we're going for a tour. What do people do with their stuff (cruise card, clothes, etc.) while they're swimming? Is there a place to put stuff? Are there water-proof fannypacks that we can buy before hand? Do you just leave your stuff there and hope it stays? Have fun snickering at us, but thanks for the help!

emdia43 Posted April 26, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2008 If you go back to the Home Page of Cruise Critic,scroll all the way down to the bottom, on the right you will see STORE- that's where you can purchase a SeaSafe, and the lanyard to hang it around your neck, so you can put your DL, credit card while you're swimming. Magellans also sell waterproof packs if you want a bigger item. I use my CC seasafe every cruise- it is not waterproof but it holds my seapass, DL and creditcard which is what I care about. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted April 26, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2008 The beach (below) is truly both beautiful and enjoyable. First, take only the essentials and then you have two choices: - Trust everyone and leave it on the shore - Have one person in you group guard the stuff Enjoy our visit! It is really something to walk in the footsteps of the ancients and wonder what it was like in their day as you wander through the ruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAT GIRL Posted April 26, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2008 You are so fortunate to know about the beach before you go. It was so hot that day I was envious of the people who were able to jump in to cool off. It is an absolutely beautiful spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammyJill Posted April 26, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I use a similar sea safe type thing, but it's Coca cola & it is waterproof. We normally bury anything valuable in the bottom of our bag ie camera & stuff & just trust it will remain where we leave it. I've been to many beaches & public pools & never have had a problem. I do put all my money & we put our driver's license & stuff in the Have a wonderful trip & don't forget to post pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandytoes03 Posted April 26, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2008 We keep our valuables in a container like the one shown above, and just leave the rest of our stuff on the beach. Never had any troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funfamilyfun Posted April 26, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2008 We usually find another family like our own. We will "make friends" with the other family and watch each other's things. It's always worked for us. We only bring the essentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emdia43 Posted April 26, 2008 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I should add that they do sell them in the general stores onboard also- with a RCCL logo on it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue L Posted April 26, 2008 #9 Share Posted April 26, 2008 this is what we use, they are wonderful, before I quit I would swim with my cigs in it and they would stay dry http://www.magellans.com/store/Safety___Security___Security_Wallets___Money_BeltsSV530?Args=&refchan=Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidkentholt Posted April 26, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Thanks so much! We can't wait to see the ruins, or for our cruise to come at all! Is it June 1st yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetireeWannabee Posted April 26, 2008 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Snickering? Heck no, I'm excited for you since you've never been to a beach!!!! don't forget your waterproof sunscreen and reapply frequently. The sun reflecting off the water and sand can really burn you. That is not how you want to spend your vacation. Pack some aloe just in case. HAVE A GREAT CRUISE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prancen Posted April 27, 2008 #12 Share Posted April 27, 2008 you can also purchase a dry pack. They come in all sizes to hold eveything from your id to your camera. They even come in backpack size. here's the website: http://www.drypakcase.com/ you can find them on amazon or ebay. I just bought a little one for the first time. Since I'm an avid swimmer and water sports gal I don't like the idea of something around my neck....no offense to those of you who use the other product, just my preference.
