Question reguarding water excursions

[ssmith468]

Hey everyone,

 

My friend and I are on Explorer of the seas departing May 28th (my first post and first cruise) and we planned a snorkling excursion for St Thomas I believe. I was wondering if your stuff is safe while you are underwater. I realize I won't be bringing a massive amount of belongings on my excursion, but I was curious if there's someone who sort of guards your things or if there's a place to put them. I'm sure I will have a bag with dry clothes and some money in it, I just want to be sure it will be there when I am done.

 

Thanks for any help!

Your stuff should be safe, but that said, don't bring anything too important! We have been on excursions with local tour operators (involving a boat) and brought just a small bag with our towels, some cash and a copy of our passport information (passports are a debate on Cruise Critic, but we take our info just in case). We have never had any issues with our stuff being messed with. Are you thinking of a cruise ship excursion or someone locally? We have always done local, never the cruise ship, but either way I'd think it would be the same.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! We booked our excursion through the cruise line, it had what we were looking for and the price seemed fine.

I always put all our stuff in a beach-type bag. So far, we've never had any trouble.

My DH always carries a "water wallet" with him, he puts in cash, sea pass cards and credit cards. The square ones are the best. I have always left a bag w/ my camera, towels and clothes and never had a problem ( knock on wood)

If you're on an excursion with transportation, leave your stuff in the vehicle--it's fine. Do NOT bring anything of great value, tho...leave the pricey cameras on the ship. No one wants your flip-flops or t-shirt. Bring a small amount of cash...your seapass and credit card are plastic/waterproof...hubby can stick them in his pocket, if you are afraid someone may take them. Which they won't.

I just stick my "stuff" in the pages of an old book--no one wants a book, either!

haha I could see myself getting an old crusty looking book and cutting the inside out so I can hide my things inside it!
