went and bought a cheap waterproof velcro strap watch to wear on excursions...velcro didn't come off in the water, and even if it did, it was $5 and held no sentimental value as do my other watches. Also, bought a couple pairs of really cheap sunglasses so if they go lost, say banana boating (hee hee VM), it was no biggie. Now, if you have a pair of sunglasses that you just cannot be without, go buy an athletic strap for them...one of the brand names is "croakies" and it keeps them very secure...DD's BF plays soccer and cannot play without her glasses. She's never had them fall off with these. Also, a cheap pair of velcro sandals to wear on excursions...we took the St. John island tour, and one of our stops was a roadside beach. Would have been really nice to have sandals on like that (teva style, just not the price) and be able to wade out, and then get back on the bus. Happy cruiseing.
