I am going to order a basket from Shirley at the Perfect Gift for my daughter for the cruise anyway so I am just going to have her throw in a cheap pail and shovel and leave it when we leave. I don't want to have to pack it there and back! Last time we rented a house in Florida for a week that had a pool and I bought cheap floats and noodles in Florida and left them at the house for hte next people when we left.
