question for those who's 10-11yo kids had phones with them to communicate with you on the ship. How did they carry them? Lots of clothing doesn't have pockets (or big enough for a phone anyway). Did they take a small backpack? personally, i struggle with it myself on cruises when, for example, i'm going to the pool and don't need anything other than my keycard and sunglasses. i hate carrying a bag when I don't need it and am a little worried how an 11yo roaming around the ship won't lose the phone. i know kids are different, etc but what has worked for you? Our 10yo doesn't have a phone yet for that precise reason - she still manages to lose her waterbottles and coats and hats at school.
