Would anyone know if there are lockers that can be rented at the Orient Beach? (Need a place for the passports, don't want to leave them on the beach unattended.) Also, I know about the partial / full nudity, am I crazy for bringing a 10 year old boy and a 12 year old boy?? Believe me, they've seen it on t.v. I'm sure. It just seems like the beach with the most to do and see.

I sure don't remember lockers, but there might have been. As far as the other question, I'm not sure I would do it. Specially when those guys just stand there. Kinda strange.

Kristen .... You don't really need or want to take your actual passports. Just a copy of each. We always do that and have never had a problem when they ask for an ID returning to the ship. Naturally, you need to have your Ship ID (sea pass) cards along as well. You might want to consider a water wallet or zip lock (small size) for money.

For four people it's cheaper just to rent a car and drive there yourself. Then put everything in the trunk. Depending on the time of year, a brand new Corolla runs between $45 to $75 per day. Beats paying $45 per person for a shore excursion.

And no, there are no lockers there. And you don't need your passports - to get back on the ship all you need is your seapass card and a photo id. As for keeping the id, cash, etc. on you, get one of those waterproof containers, or save yourself some money and put everything inside of a heavy duty ziplock bag and then put that inside of another ziplock bag. Works great.

As for the partial/full nudity for the children, that's obviously entirely up to you. No one makes a big deal about it one way or the other, so it depends on how you think they'll handle the situation. You usually will not see many children there since the resort is adults only.
