Only change I would make is you have too many bags for toiletries. I have a large one with everything for the cabin and a smaller one for items needed once out of the cabin. It goes in my backpack. I purchase the miniature of my favorite products and refill. Almost ALL bottles/tubes/tins can be refilled. If unsure, go to RUclips for directions. All in all, I enjoyed your video. 😁
I used to use packing cubes and a 24 inch luggage. When I decided to go to a carryon suitcase I realized that I could put more in the suitcase if I did not use packing cubes…I ranger roll everything and I make sure to fill every negative space….we love cruising too! Bon Voyage! 🌹
I go between wanting to use them and not! LOL. Even when I do use them, I still roll everything. Rolling is really the key, I think! There really is nothing like cruising, huh??!
@@pinnakal1 you can find many videos on RUclips that show you how to do the ranger roll. I also use this method too fold my hoodies in my close closet.
Use the channels created by the telescoping handles to pack your flat shoes, flip-flops and your straightener/curling iron - don’t waste that space! Then you'll have even more space on the other side of your suitcase.
I haven't been on a cruise yet but its so fun watching this and preparing for one! :) thought I might also share the best carry-on bag I have been using for a long time now and recommend it to you. It is a bento bag from Nomad Lane. It is the most trusty, functional, and easy-to-carry bag. I have been traveling for work mostly and it is the best bag ever.❤🥰
Wow…a video in real time not warp speed. I may never do a carry on but your video helps a lot! Only thing I would have done would be to put my shoes, etc on the side of the bag with the extension handle…in the grooves. Thanks so much!,
If you’re driving to your port and plan to shop, for sure being a bigger suitcase. I don’t do a ton of shopping at port and what I do collect are small things like magnets and Christmas ornaments! For sure plan ahead for shopping if you are a big shopper!
How much did your suitcase weigh? I want to be able carryon my bags on plane 😬, Im definitely a over packer, but seeing you fit all those things in that small suitcase give me hope lol, usually don’t use packing cubes 🤔
I understand you want to keep things in their own spots, but you can actually bring all that down to 3 cubes. same with your toiletries bags only need 2 one for make- up and one for everything else, makes for a lot more space.
Hi if you don’t mind pls which carry on bag is this?? I love the color pink bag so I click on your video but inside lining I like more as it’s not not blue or black so I’m looking for such bag would be good help.
Love your tutorial on packing cubes….however, I would lose that background music…it drove me insane. I’m sure others can relate. It would be much better with just you. Just a thought
I pack so I don’t have to check it, but I always choose to just so I don’t have to carry it around with me. I like to get on the ship as early as possible, so rooms aren’t ready until 1-2pm. If I get on at 11am and then have to carry it around for several hours, it’s a lot! Lately, when I check it, it is at my room by the time I’m allowed to go to the room, so I choose to do that! When I disembark, I always take my own luggage off, though.
@@porchagordon7815 correct, or I drive a long distance. Don’t really care to fly. However, I will be flying to Florida in December. I will still carry on for that, I will just change out some of the toiletry items for the sizes that are approved.

What is ranger roll

Great video! Very helpful!!
Thank you!

Five days until our cruise on Voyager OTS. Very excited and waiting on my packing cubes to arrive. Enjoyed this video immensely. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!!! I loved Voyager! I hope you have an incredible time!

I probably need to update this video! lol. Thank you. Glad it helps at least a little.
Wonderful tips for packing for a cruise. Thank you very much.
For sure! I could do some things different, like using less bags. Try that!
Love you hair! Great style!!
Excellent video ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!!!
Love you're packing technique and I'm going on a 2nd Family Cruise to Iceland and Greenland in August
Those are bucket list cruises!!! That is exciting!
@@SWAdventures01 Yes, cruises are my only way of travel now and I can't wait
Off topic but love the hair & nails. Very complimentary!😀
Awe!!! Thanks!!!
Take plastic wrap and put under caps and screw on no leaks
I'm curious... with your carry on expanded, does it fit in the overhead bin?? Can anyone provide me info on that? Please & thank you. 😊
I don’t typically fly… I drive, so it isn’t an issue for me. However, if it won’t fit, they will check it for free for you at the gate, most times.
I was wondering the same thing… sometimes the expansion doesn’t allow for it to go overhead.
Love packing cubes but a small suitcase what happens if you shop at a port ?
If you’re driving to your port and plan to shop, for sure being a bigger suitcase. I don’t do a ton of shopping at port and what I do collect are small things like magnets and Christmas ornaments! For sure plan ahead for shopping if you are a big shopper!

I don’t remember exactly, but it was under 50lbs!
So cubes or no cubes. Im trying to maximize space. I heard the Bisho cubes can hold alot
Have you tried compression cubes? I found that they can save some space.
No, but I plan to! They look like they work even better. Do they leave your clothes wrinkled?
I understand you want to keep things in their own spots, but you can actually bring all that down to 3 cubes. same with your toiletries bags only need 2 one for make- up and one for everything else, makes for a lot more space.
It’s funny you say that! I actually combined that on my next trip. You are absolutely right. Works great.
She packed extremely poorly! i said the same just now
Wish you could do a male version of this.
I’ll work on one!

Hi! I love this bag! I got it at TJMaxx.
@@SWAdventures01 I will try to find in tjmax, thanks
What suitcase are you using ?
Oh man… I can’t remember the name of it, but it’s just a travel size that I bought at TJMAXX!
Thank you

Thank you for that feedback! It’s probably time to update this packing tutorial.
Love your zipper sounds
26 days!
Do you check your luggage?
I pack so I don’t have to check it, but I always choose to just so I don’t have to carry it around with me. I like to get on the ship as early as possible, so rooms aren’t ready until 1-2pm. If I get on at 11am and then have to carry it around for several hours, it’s a lot! Lately, when I check it, it is at my room by the time I’m allowed to go to the room, so I choose to do that! When I disembark, I always take my own luggage off, though.
@@SWAdventures01 I'm guessing with the toiletry bag you leave from a home port then?

Makes sense
