Pearl Harbor no bag policy
 
I understand there is a no bag policy at Pearl Harbor but I thought I read somewhere that its OK to have a see through, clear plastic "purse". Does anyone know if that is true? Were planning on an 11 hour tour and I cant imagine being without my purse all day. If I cant bring any type of bag Ill probably just bring my picture ID and my cell phone. My hubby will have his wallet so he can just buy everything as I probably wont bring cash or credit card if I can't bring my purse. I just don't like carrying money or credit cards in my pockets, I'm afraid it will fall out. Thanks.

We are planning on visiting next year and didn't know this, so thank you for asking this question. I did a search and found you are correct. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2218343

I was there in January and I did notice a few people with clear bags as well as a lot of people, we were among them, who had to walk back to their cars to return their bags. Plan to wear items with pockets and perhaps bring a mini-wallet. Once you are on site - you forgot you do not have a purse or bag. I had deep pockets and was able to bring a wallet, my phone, a packet of kleenex and I was fine for the 4 hours I was there.

There is also a station where one can check their bags if they do not want to leave them in the car. Just plan ahead.

While bags are not allowed, there is a bag check. So you don't have to be without your belongings all day. And you can carry your wallet, cell phone, and camera with you on the tours.
