I do a combination of both but love the cubes for organization. One thing I do is pack 1/2 of my clothes in my suitcase and put the other half in my hubbies and then of course do the same for his. This way if one suitcase gets lost we aren't totally screwed. :-)
" pack 1/2 of my clothes in my suitcase and put the other half in my hubbies" I've watched countless packing videos and that's the best packing tip/ideal I've ever heard! Thanks for that tip!
@@heathahlee Yeah...I'm a plus size gal and losing any luggage would be hard for me. I can't just walk into a store and find what I can wear all the time. Have fun on your Alaska cruise. We went 4 years ago and loved it.
I like to pack a lot of dresses for a cruise. I find it saves space in the suitcase, and dresses are just easy to throw on the one garment and go. I find a simple T shirt dress is more comfortable than shorts and cooler than leggings for a day in port. A cute long maxi dress is a great cover up for a swim suit for sea days and can also be appropriate for lunch wherever on the ship. A basic black dress can be paired with sneakers and a denim jacket for a casual look or heels and jewelry for a more formal night.
I am definitely packing cubes for cruises. With limited storage space, you just unzip the cubes and place them on the shelf or in the drawer. Easy peasy!
Had an Air Canada employee tell me that all AC crew use soft sided luggage with corner protectors as the hard shell eventually become compromised in the cargo hold ( extreme cold) and being thrown around. We now use TravelPro luggage which is a bit more affordable than the Level8. We’ve travelled in North American and Europe with our TravelPro and LOVE it!! We’ve had many different brands over many years but have never had a suitcase that really did THE job. Also use the TravelPro packing cubes. Not knocking Level8 as I’ve not had them but our TravelPro will be with us over many travels for many years. We’re doing a 20 day trip starting tomorrow with carry-on only. 19 inch each spinner and one under the seat each. That includes our elegant night clothes, tops/bottoms/swimwear/sundresses/hats and more clothes/two pair of shoes (plus ones we are wearing), toiletries, meds, cameras, snacks for the plane, jewelry, iPad,keyboard, e-reader, travel documents and much more. All the best everyone :-) 🛳️
Welllll, I am a consistent overpacker. However I am trying to get better at it and these type of videos are helpful! I love my softsided suitcase. I feel the hard sided cases get roughed up more. I religiously use packing cubes as much as possible. It is so easy to unpack when on the cruise ship. Just take them out and put them on the shelves or in the drawers. Easy Peasy! One color for my husband and one for me. I don't roll but use another method for folding, especially t shirts. A couple of suggestions. People should put the heavy items (like shoes) on the bottom by the wheels for stability. Pack your underwear in a packing cube or ziploc bag so you can take it out of your carryon easily.
Packing cubes take up space… I need every inch. You definitely pack less than I would. Need room for chargers, swimsuit cover up, sunscreen, rash guard, snorkel gear.
Softside and compression cubes (airline employee carry-on only). We each pack 4 bottoms, 4 tops, 1 pair each of beach sandals, athletic shoes, dress shoes, (take out one of each to wear on the plane), 1 swimsuit, 1 cover-up, 1 LBD (just me), underwear, PJs, & socks, hat, toiletries, first aid/medicine kit, magnetic door decor (we're DCL), backpack and paperwork.
For carry-on luggage, I am team packing cubes. Only hard shell. For my youngest child, I still like putting outfits in Ziplock gallon bags. We pull out a bag and there's no rummaging around the suitcase!
California Linda shares congratulations on your purchase of Level8 luggage. 👏👏 We have used ours on the last three cruises, a game changer over one with just two wheels. In the space between the trolley handles I place all my makeup, first aid items, medicine in different zippered bags based upon things I need in the morning, things I need at night, things I need if sick, etc. It saves luggage space. Placing your TSA items horizontally in the bag, instead of vertically takes less space. Amazing Fact. 🤔 Compression packing bags are amazing.
I like the cube method and rolling we just started doing that before we used to just throw it in our suitcases and we don't have expensive suitcases but we got hard shell suitcases
I am on team hard side for carry on but team soft side for checked luggage. After having airlines damage my suitcases 1 too many times, I talked with some friends who work for WestJet. They stated while the hard side is nice they are 99% of the luggage that gets damaged as they crack and cannot be fixed. The soft-sided will bend a bit for give. They do offer harder-sided soft-sided luggage and that is the best of both worlds. I packed in a carry-on and backpack on the last cruise. (I snuck the sunscreen and aloe in my husband's checked suitcase). Either method works and I like the packing cube for even longer a trip as you can get compression cubes that compress your clothing allowing you to fit more again. But a simple trip the rolling is easier.
Love the packing cubes. I always roll my clothes. My aunt taught me to roll my clothes for a trip when I was young. My aunt's husband was in the Air Force and they traveled a lot. She said that she had less problem with wrinkles and this was in the late '60s. She was way ahead of her time.
I prefer soft side suitcases because they are easier to get in and out of. Hard sides require 2x as much space when open and both sides need support when open.
We are going on our first ever cruise in June. I can tell I’m over packing LOL But I don’t care! I am so excited to “dress up” for dinner. I told my husband you packed two people in two carry on bags. He said she obviously isn’t packing for three outfit changes a day. 😂 All your tips are great. I definitely need to find a ponytail hat!
I use cubes to help organize my packing and to contain all the small stuff. and still I can and do pack for a 7 day cruise in a 21” case I have soft and hard shell cases
Love these packing videos! We only use carry on size when flying and cruising. We roll all clothes, saves a lot of space. Learned this from your previous packing videos. Thanks 👍.
There seemed to be wasted space with the packing cube method. I think I'll go without them. Thanks for showing me the options though. I enjoyed learning!🤗
I have noticed that the American Airlines are not as strict as the Canadian airlines with our carry on luggage sizes! I love packing cubes & rolling! Love you & Jason…you are so natural & down to earth! Videos are awesome!
I tend to wear dressier clothing at night so will add a black sheath dress and a pair of dress pants with several dressier blouses and accompanying undergarments plus a sparkly evening bag. After the past 3 years, it will be nice to get dressed up again. I use compression cubes and/or giant ziplock baggies to fold or roll into to allow for cross-packing as Melody suggested below in case one suitcase gets lost then the owner has at least 2 outfits to wear. I ensure that each of these cubes/ziplock contains 2 complete outfits including undies, shorts, bathing suit and dressy top. (Again, as Melody mentioned, we plus-sized ladies can't just find appropriate clothing anywhere so it pays to be prudent in that regard as I learned on my first cruise when husband's and daughter's cases showed up and mine didn't materialize until day 2 and had obviously been in the rain.) I don't use a toiletries bag or jewelry holder anymore and just use the ziplocks or small pouches to use every square inch of free space and never pack shoes together as I can more easily find free space for one shoe at a time. I prefer to bring 1 pair of dressier wedge sandals for the long walk to the dining room, one pair of walking/water sandals and I wear my sneakers. My good jewelry and other valuables stay in my knapsack until they can go into the safe. Nobody has mentioned a rain jacket yet!
I haven’t been on a cruise in almost 10 years but after watching many cruise tips videos, I’m definitely going to use packing cubes. I think it will definitely help me stay as organized as possible and hopefully it will help with luggage space 😊
I just bought my first set of packing cubes. When we fly next i will pack my daughter's stuff into our carry-on and stow mine. My carry-on will be snacks and entertainment.
Love to see someone pack like I do. I'm getting ready to Cruise to Hawaii and plan on taking a backpack and a carry-on suitcase so I'm not dealing with too much.
After seeing both you and ParoDeeJay with a Tripped backpack, I bought one. LOVE it! Thank you. As for packing, I will never be as organized as you. I try. Medium checked bag is as little as I can get to, but it's better than the big one. If we are taking snorkel gear and stuff, it's so hard to go small. I started packing in cubes and I like it, but I don't roll. I like that I can just throw the whole cube in a drawer or on a closet shelf without unpacking it. I also feel it's easier if you are staying in a hotel a night or 2 pre-cruise. No digging to find what you need. You can pack a cube for a couple days and keep the rest in the suitcase. Our next cruise is b2b for 14 days. I'm going to try to pack for one week and do laundry on turn around day and wear the same things again the next week. That's the plan. Wish me luck! ;)
Rolled in a regular packing cube, BUT you also can use a lot of compression even without compression cubes. I'm trying a mix of hard and soft for our upcoming cruise. I've always done soft and mostly duffel bags, but have rarely flown (it's been over a decade since I've been on a plane!) and never cruised.
I like the packing cubes as I use them for drawers and cupboards to keep my clothes in and from touching the surfaces. I like the hard shell luggage over soft sides for rolling purposes. 🇨🇦😻MandMGirl
Yay! So happy to see a new video. I still reference your old ones. I use a combo of rolling and packing cubes. I used a hardside carry-on for the first for our cruise 3 weeks ago. I found I was able to fit more in. I really didn't think that would be the case. OK enjoy y'all and back to the video
I use some cubes and pouches. I like keeping my clothes on their hangers and just lay them all on one side. We don’t do carry on. I now use the Away hard case with various personal item bags. ❤️ God bless.
Watch out for the TSA locks on the Level 8 carryon. I bought this suitcase and luckily tried opening it a couple days before we left for a month long trip to Hawaii. The lock didn’t open no matter what we tried. We finally had to get a TSA key to open the suitcase. Then we couldn’t get the key out! We ended up throwing out the suitcase.
Black jeans with several tops, one pair of Skechers, one pair of "fancy" shoes, long skirt/dressy top. As for gaining weight, I'm one of those people who generally lose about 5-10 pounds/cruise - not an overeater on a cruise.
I'm a packing cubes fiend! I'm also an overpacker because I don't know how I'm going to feel (this happens in every day life). We normally drive to our cruises and hard side luggage makes it easier to load into the van.
Great update to your old video on packing. But what about all the little handy hacks for cruising - the magnet hooks, the fan, nite light, etc. ? There are so many extra things that seem to take up space. Thanks for all your fun videos… as well as the informative ones.
I roll and use packing cubes on mine. My daughter prefers hers folded. I will say we put shoes and a hair straightener in the handle space, we normally drive and don’t fly sometimes we go by train and it’s much less strict with rain travel. Just takes longer lol
I use packing cubes and compression cubes because of the organization and clothes won't move inside the suitcase. I use hard case luggage and for our next cruise we are adding travel backpacks as our personal item bag.
I am partial y disabled and prefer folding my clothes yet I can still acknowledge for a 7 day cruise in a 21” suitcase my husband is a bit harder because he is a BIG BOY BUT I can still get it all into a 21”. he wears his tennies and sportcoat for boarding and sometimes his jeans but it all fits. Because he has a medical disability I generally pack his medical gear in its own backpack we have done this for years and know exactly what he needs
I think that packing video is what got me to watching your channel!! I got a set of the hard luggage but it’s not as nice as yours!! I have never used the packing cubes I just roll the clothes!!
I really enjoyed the video. I have a 20” hard shell carry on that I use now because airlines always look at my 22” soft cover bag funny. Never tried cubes but now I’m willing to try.
I use cubes in my carry on roller bag but I recently bought a duffle bag that totally unzips so I can lay my clothes out with the hangers and then zip it up
I’m a combination of rolling & folding. As well as most in packing cubes. But some not. I haven’t gone over to the side of hard sided luggage. I’m not apposed to them. 🥰👍
Excellent video...I'm a roller, with and without packing cubes. I also prefer hard shell suitcases. I consider myself a seasoned traveler but I still will stress when it comes to packing 😂
I bring way to many clothes when I cruise..I have a new dress for each night but I am getting better for day wear…I used to bring 5 skorts and I now bring 3. I pack 6 to 7 tops to wear with them. I bring 2 swim top and one bottom….I don’t spend much time in my swim suits…only on sea days for a few hours…maybe. Packing cubes or not I can’t pack in a carryon….I’ve tried so many times! Another thing…I fly with Air Transat and their dimensions is 20 inches not the standard 22 inches making it even harder to go carryon only….I see so many people try to board with a 22 inch and it just does not work with them…we travel with a 24 inch and check it…for now we need that 4 inch difference.

I can’t believe we’ve never thought to do that! 🙈 We’re going to Alaska next year and I’m already nervous about losing luggage! 😂

I use soft luggage and packing cubes.
I always utilize the space in the shoes

I can pack loads more without the cubes but they are easier to help me stay organized.

I prefer clothes folded in packing cubes. I have started folding complete outfits together, then adding extra tops.

I love using packing cubes because they keep everything organized.
Also like the hard shell luggage with the packing cubes.

Tanki swim suits are great. Your video is one of the most authentic I’ve seen.
Both methods appear efficient. So my question would be which results in fewer wrinkles on the cruise!!
I have watched a ton of what to pack videos and yours is the best. Thanks for your common sense approach.
@@fw7993 thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
Great video Alisa, can you link that pretty blue top and maybe the swim suit?
Thank you, now to get my wife to watch and follow your directions. LOL
Great ideas! I usually repeat shorts but I always have to bring swim cover-ups and pajamas.
I haven’t been on a cruise in almost 10 years but after watching many cruise tips videos, I’m definitely going to use packing cubes. I think it will definitely help me stay as organized as possible and hopefully it will help with luggage space 😊
Team hard shell. Always. Never used packing cubes, dont really see a need for them. I do roll my clothes.
I uses packing cubes, we use hard suitcases now used to use soft ones. I also pack waterproof boots when traveling to Alaska
I just bought my first set of packing cubes. When we fly next i will pack my daughter's stuff into our carry-on and stow mine. My carry-on will be snacks and entertainment.

Hard shell luggage and a mix of roll and fold, compression bags
Packing cubes and hard suitcases. Pull the cubes out and roll the lid under the cube and place where you want.
That’s what I do!
Thank you. I love that level-8 luggage. I used the packing cubes and rolled my stuff when I packed.
Definitely packing cubes. I seem to be more comfortable with hard side.
After seeing both you and ParoDeeJay with a Tripped backpack, I bought one. LOVE it! Thank you.

I use packing tubes along with hardback luggage. I truly enjoy the cubes for going and returning. They work great.
Soft luggage & some packing cubes for personal items
Hard shell
Packing cubes
And recently I’ve started using the vacuum sealed bags 👍🏽
Hard luggage and packing cubes by the way love the hair
Packing cubes, definitely. Never had the hard suitcase, but I’ve always wanted to try
Ok but I need to know about the decor in this room it’s so pretty!
Love the packing cube for organizing and easy to repack when headed home.
I like the cubes, it’s just neater.
I use some cubes and pouches. I like keeping my clothes on their hangers and just lay them all on one side. We don’t do carry on. I now use the Away hard case with various personal item bags. ❤️ God bless.
thank you for your video . i’m frist time go to the cruise help me a lot. thank you so much

I bought the Level 8 suitcase. I love it! I've done packing cubes and rolling methods.
Rolling with packing cubs are great what I always do plus roll up my clothes to pack regularly
I am using packing cubes but mostly for unpacking! Easy to place in drawers or on shelf in our cabin! 🚢
Last time we had a regular soft luggage. I rolled everything. This time I have some packing cubes and hard shell luggage.
I do a combination of rolling and Kenmare, I can fit a month's worth of clothes in a 20 inch carry-on
Black jeans with several tops, one pair of Skechers, one pair of "fancy" shoes, long skirt/dressy top. As for gaining weight, I'm one of those people who generally lose about 5-10 pounds/cruise - not an overeater on a cruise.
Great tips!! I prefer the cubes. Now you’ve got me interested in a hard shell suitcase! 😊
Just my opinion, but I LOVE your hair short. I think it was an unexpected blessing during a hard trial. 🥰
I enjoyed your video! You explained everything so well! Thank you for the tips. I feel more prepared for my cruise in 3 days!!!
Packing cubes and hard side luggage.
This came at a great time, I planning a 7 day MSC cruise in October. I use a combo of cubes and no cubes, as for luggage Hard shell
I'm a packing cubes fiend! I'm also an overpacker because I don't know how I'm going to feel (this happens in every day life). We normally drive to our cruises and hard side luggage makes it easier to load into the van.
Packing cubes!!! I have soft sided but am moving to hard before my next trip!
Hard shell and packing cubes. Thanks for the video showing both methods🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Great update to your old video on packing. But what about all the little handy hacks for cruising - the magnet hooks, the fan, nite light, etc. ? There are so many extra things that seem to take up space.
Thanks for all your fun videos… as well as the informative ones.
Going to try packing cubes for my next cruise. Have never used them before.
I roll and use packing cubes on mine. My daughter prefers hers folded. I will say we put shoes and a hair straightener in the handle space, we normally drive and don’t fly sometimes we go by train and it’s much less strict with rain travel. Just takes longer lol
Hubby says packing cubes take up too much space. I like soft luggage, b/c it won't crack.
Packing cubes look awesome.. I’m ordering some Level 8 cases after seeing this great video.. Thank You .. Best wishes..
I always do packing cubes.
We use packing cubes. That way what is left at the end of the trip still on cube will not need to be washed
We use hardshell luggage. Believe this or not, Scott is a way better packer, and he rolls most of our clothes.
Softside for carryon, hard side to check. Lately, I like cubes to keep things organized.
Pacing cubes, soft luggage, ,,, for all my cruises, I use 30” luggage and carry-on luggage and a backpack
I use packing cubes and compression cubes because of the organization and clothes won't move inside the suitcase. I use hard case luggage and for our next cruise we are adding travel backpacks as our personal item bag.
I am partial y disabled and prefer folding my clothes yet I can still acknowledge for a 7 day cruise in a 21” suitcase my husband is a bit harder because he is a BIG BOY BUT I can still get it all into a 21”. he wears his tennies and sportcoat for boarding and sometimes his jeans but it all fits. Because he has a medical disability I generally pack his medical gear in its own backpack we have done this for years and know exactly what he needs
soft luggage and just began using packing cubes 1 year ago. keeps me organized
I think that packing video is what got me to watching your channel!! I got a set of the hard luggage but it’s not as nice as yours!! I have never used the packing cubes I just roll the clothes!!
I really enjoyed the video. I have a 20” hard shell carry on that I use now because airlines always look at my 22” soft cover bag funny. Never tried cubes but now I’m willing to try.
I use cubes in my carry on roller bag but I recently bought a duffle bag that totally unzips so I can lay my clothes out with the hangers and then zip it up

I bring 2 swim top and one bottom….I don’t spend much time in my swim suits…only on sea days for a few hours…maybe.
Packing cubes or not I can’t pack in a carryon….I’ve tried so many times! Another thing…I fly with Air Transat and their dimensions is 20 inches not the standard 22 inches making it even harder to go carryon only….I see so many people try to board with a 22 inch and it just does not work with them…we travel with a 24 inch and check it…for now we need that 4 inch difference.
So many great ideas!!! Love all your videos! My Hubbie says “Semper Fi” to Jason
I do packing cubes with soft shell luggage
I do the folding method and have a soft shell but plan on getting a new set before December.
