Wedding Rings

Mexican Rivera Question

Question:

Wear it, if that’s what you normally do.  And please refrain from the all to common practice on ships of wearing all your jewelry all the time. Any of you ever noticed that some gals are apparently afraid to leave anything worth more than $20 in their stateroom safe?  They come to the pool looking like an overdecorated Christmas tree, with rings on every finger, and dozens of chains wrapped around each wrist and their neck.

Response:

Or, wear it, but turn it around so diamond is inside your hand. I’ve never worried too much in ports, but some are safer than others. I’ve always felt fairly safe on Mexican Riviera…have done that one 8 or 9 times. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Wear it, if that’s what you normally do.  And please refrain from the > all to common practice on ships of wearing all your jewelry all the time. > Any of you ever noticed that some gals are apparently afraid to leave > anything worth more than $20 in their stateroom safe?  They come to the > pool looking like an overdecorated Christmas tree, with rings on every > finger, and dozens of chains wrapped around each wrist and their neck. > Howard > I have a large diamond wedding ring and I was wondering if it was "safe" to > wear in port or should I leave it on the ship?  Maybe I am just being > paranoid but I keep hearing stories of vendors and who knows who else > basically hording you when you get off the ship…  Any info would be > appreciated.

Response:

I do not have a lot of expensive rings, etc, but I would leave them at home, and wear the 5 and dime stuff, ON ANY TRIP

Response:

MY wife NEVER brings an of her good jewelry on a trip.  She has a vast assortment of junk jewelry she’s bought just for cruising purposes.  Why temp someone especially when there’s no reason to.

AJ – To be on the safe side, I’d leave the ring in your safe on the ship.  It’s not a good idea to flash something like that around.  I NEVER wear my good jewelry when I go on a shore tour.  I wear my late dad’s wedding ring on my right hand and even that gets put in the safe when we go ashore.  I’m not taking any chances!  Another good idea – don’t wear any gold necklaces on shore.  They can be snatched off in a second.  Better safe than sorry!

We NEVER take expensive jewelry on vacation! Find a nice-looking (but expendable) set of rings that can act as standins for your "real" stuff.

I have a large diamond wedding ring and I was wondering if it was "safe" to wear in port or should I leave it on the ship?  Maybe I am just being paranoid but I keep hearing stories of vendors and who knows who else basically hording you when you get off the ship…  Any info would be appreciated.

If you are going to worry about it, leave it in the safe in your cabin. sue
