    Hey Lucy! Thank you so much for these videos! As I get ready to join the crew of the Scarlet Lady in a couple weeks time these packing videos are really saving me a ton of stress and guesswork!

    Hi Lucy. I don't work on cruises but I've done several as a passenger on P+O, Cunnard and Royal Caribbean. P+O is my favourite by far. I haven't been well enough the last few years to cruise but watching your content gets me so excited for cruising in the future. I just want to cruise now! It's so much fun and definitely not just for older people as I'm only in my 30's. I wish you a safe and happy contract and keep up the good work on this channel. Best wishes. Rachel

      Hi Rachel! I'm just about to join the P&O Arcadia ship as crew! Have you been on that ship before as a passenger? What did you think of it? I'm so glad that P&O was your favourite company to cruise with after all the others you have tried! That's a really good sign! 👍What makes P&O special for you? I'll be working in the shops so maybe one day I'll meet you on board! 😁 Happy sailing! 🛳️Claire ❤️

    Not only are you a perfections witch is not a bad thing.! You are a well thought out person and well planned out person witch is a good thing . As a solo cruiser and a man I don't put half of that time planning when I pack. But then again I'm usually only going for 5 to 8 days! Take care be safe and I look forward to the up coming ventures and Vlogs !! Safe travels

    Hi Lucy 👋🏾
    I noticed you are packing some t-shirts that you brought the last time around. I lived out of one suitcase for 6 months while teaching English in South America and got so tired of the same tops. If I went back for a second trip I think I would prioritize different clothes. Is there a method/reason to packing the same items? Or are they just your favorite?
    Great video as always! I try to always comment to help the algorithm!
