    Sorry for you loss but still so many people walking around with phone and credit cards in that single case, what a nightmare to lose the lot, Phone and credit cards are always kept separate and spare money always in side pocket, the main wallet no credit cards inside also a waist money belt is a great idea. sometimes when I am visiting crowded places or markets i go without the wallet and just have cash in a side pocket and the same going out at night time small changes and maybe 1 credit card. great feeling that you not going to lose any things while on holiday.

I was planning on travel hand luggage only with just a 30L ‘under seat’ backpack, were you able to keep this with you in your seat?

      Hi, the seats are quite narrow so you'd rely on the boat not being full and being able to put on a spare seat next to you, I don't recall there being much storage under the seat in front. Might be best to be prepared to hand over your backpack and have your laptop with you.
