Beach chairs....

[rjrice1]

Just a dumb question ?? Was wondering if one can bring their own chairs and floats for the beach on board.

Beats paying $$ everyday to rent them especially if you are doing a long cruise.

Would leave it them behind for somebody else when cruise is over.

Sure you can

Of course! I wouldn't leave them behind...take 'em on home, and use them on your next cruise! If you leave them, you might as well pay to rent the stuff!!!! They won't be "used" by others...they'll be thrown away.

We have done this on a b2b.We have a store here In NJ called $5 below and got two chairs and at the end of the cruises we give them to someone who is doing a b2b.So I look at it this way $10 as compared to maybe$150.And no one at the beaches says anything.

Do you have any pics of the chairs you purchased?

For my upcoming cruise I plan to bring inflatable mats for Coco Cay. They are unopened in a package and take up little room in the suitcase. They probably cost $.98 ea. as opposed to $14 to rent a floating mat. Once they're used I am not going to bother uninflating, cleaning and bringing home. I don't care if they are thrown out.

paid $2.00 for each and we bring them home for non-cruise pool and beach use.

Just seems like too much trouble to take chairs ... but taking inexpensive small "blow up" floats is a good idea in case you are at a beach where you can't rent them. ;)

Sry no we don't,but they were small ones that we put in our large suitcase.

I buy cheap mats also buckets at our first port. Then I leave them when finished.

Chairs that have back pack straps would be a good kind.

We've always wanted to stop at Costco, and pick up these backpack chairs for a longer cruise, when we are just planning beach excursions, but wasn't sure if we could carry them on (would they fit through security belt scanners?). In the store, they are less than on-line.

Thanks... we usually bring floats and have this small air pump to blow them up.

As for chairs... since we are not flying into the port and doing 11 days

with 6 beaches... for three adults and two kids.. Would save lots of money.

They even have these small clam shells that can easily be carried on or give it to the porters... Especially good for those traveling with little ones.
