Waterproof wallet

[summerlove69]

I am getting ready for my first cruise and have gotten a lot of great tips on this board. I am having a hard time finding a waterproof wallet-type thing to carry cash, credit cards and sail and sign card in when we go ashore. Does anyone know a good place to find these?

 

Thank you,

Bridget

I got mine , it is Cochland's All weather wallet, at a camp store, look it up on the net...$2.50 they have other sizes too

Try to find a Coleman store in your location, yes a Coleman lantern store. They have waterproof bags in a pack of three different sizes for $3.99 at the Birch Run store in Michigan. You should be able to find a location on the internet. I purchased a set for our cruise in Sept ( sting Ray City tour) I am 75 and super carefull about important doctuments.

Cochland's is the same as Coleman's but in Canada... it should be in the camping sections at Walmart etc

Try REI - or a local camping store. :)

There is also an online travel store called Magellans (sp?)

I bought mine on ebay - they had three different sizes for something like $7.99.

 

Have fun!

:D We have "Waterproof Wallets" BUT actually prefer to use small "Zip-Lock Freezer Bags"!!! :D

 

We take a supply of them and just use a new one for each excursion. The small freezer bags are best ... but, we've also used those "snack sized bags" without a problem ....

 

Happy Sailing! OCruisers :)

They were available in the gift shop on the Valor priced at either $5 or $6

You can get them at a dive shop - they have tons. My mom and I bought square ones last year and they had just enough room for our S&S cards, licenses, and we also put our traveler's checks/cash in them IN a ziplock bag. Just because they're waterproof doesn't necessarily mean they can't leak a bit :)

Any of the outdoor type of stores sell them,

 

I bought one in Pennsylania at a Gander Mountain store once, they sold them in the camping section, the fishing section... As well as mentioned Dive shops...

 

Have fun :)

I once read a magazine that explained 101 ways to use duct tape and making a waterproof wallet was one of them. :D :D :D

Just a thought! :rolleyes: Maybe you could put "waterproof wallets" into "zip lock freezer bags"! :D Our "freezer bags" NEVER leak! :p
