I agree with Andi and Debbie. Wear your beautiful necklace but leave it in the safe on excursions. We've talked about taking good jewelry on this board before. I used to leave everything in the safe deposit box at home. This last cruise, I wore my good diamond ring and took a few other pieces (only what I could wear on my body on the plane!). All worked out fine except I think the prongs on my ring got damaged when my fingers got slammed by the closet door in our suite! Also, it's fun to take some of the fake stuff. The ship usually has costume jewelry on sale. Buy a piece or two and make people guess <img border="0" alt="[naughty]" title="" src="graemlins/naughty.gif" /> .
