Love your videos! I have been using packing cubes a lot over the last couple of years and don't know how I traveled without them, especially when cruising. All I do is lift most of them out of the suitcase and put them on the shelves. It is so easy for T's as well. I fold them so that you are able to see which ones they are and colors. Something that I now do at home as well. I also bring the laundry basket just like yours. I line it with a laundry bag and then just lift it out and put all dirty clothes in one suitcase for the trip back home. I have also begun to bring a fold-up basket (from the dollar store) for my shoes. So much easier! Enjoy your cruise! Bermuda is my favorite island!!

We just got back from Greek isles cruise (Royal Caribbean). I used so many of your tips, thank you! One tip I’ll share with u: for connecting rooms, decide who’s staying in which room ahead of time because one room can accommodate more people than the other. We ended up switching rooms with our 3 kids after cards were already issued and it was annoying when our older kids would come in through our room in the middle of the night or the other way around.

It looked so easy. What I do is a list of the ports and excursions and then write next to each day the outfit that I would like to wear that day. Then I fold, not roll up, all the tops in one cube, shorts in another one, then the dresses in the biggest one. I noticed that my clothes got to my cruise without wrinkles. I also stuff my shoes and sandals in little corners inside the cubes or in between them.

Would love to see what you pack into your carry on bag as well! I’ve never used packing cubes, I just put things in groups inside my luggage. It seems that things get really squished inside them, but I can see how they would be helpful when unpacking on board. Maybe it allows for extra room as well.

The first time I saw a video with packing cubes a few years ago, I thought it was just a gimmick. They are the best! In fact, I think they are even better for men than women. My wife likes to use the drawers in the cabin so I just put my packed cubes on the shelves. One for t-shirts, one for underwear, one for socks etc... My more formal things go in the zippered area meant for that in my suitcase and get hung up. Takes me five minutes to unpack!

You are so thorough .. truly appreciate your videos. When we went to China for 15 days 6 yrs ago, first time users of packing cubes. Because were traveling and changing hotels often, those cubes kept me organized .. with me and my husband. Always use them when traveling .. cruises . organized. Question ... Been following your NCL Encore videos. thank you for many great ideas. This is our first time with NCL and Caribbean , how's the blow dryer on Encore? Thank you

Thanks for the video! I would be happy to watch your insights for international travelers, who’s cruising is one part of their trip. We will be spending 8 days in NYC, then a flight to Orlando, 2.5 days there, cruising from Port Canaveral, driving to Miami for 4 days and only then fly home. While I am very organised and not an over packer, I find packing for 3 weeks for such different locations and activities is a real challenge.

That’s definitely a challenge. Can you do laundry or would you want to?

@@LifeWellCruised we plan on doing laundry when arriving to Orlando and after disembarking from the cruise and arriving in Miami. But the packing itself is a challenge, since we have different activities in NYC, the cruise and Orlando and Miami. Hoped you have some ideas 😊

I got some of the packing cubes and they were great! I was a little confused as to what to pack in them and figuring out where to pack my shoes!

Lol I had the same thoughts for shoes when u first got them. Some people use separate shoe cubes

I brought a laundry bag last cruise but i will get the same laundry basket as u next time. I always do laundry last night on the cruise or 2nd to last night bc i tend to cruise in the winter and I’m from NY so i am able to keep the items in the luggage for a few days before unpacking. Plus, i rather do laundry on the cruise than when i get back home. Just my preference

Thank you for mentioning sanitary shoe packing. Many people dont consider this.

Use packing cubes all the time. I leave some items out (socks, underwear)to fill in gaps. You're fortunate you're a bit petite. I'm 6 feet tall. Husband 6'2", so our clothes take up more room! I take 1 can spray sunscreen for each day(very fair and I reapply often). Wear contacts, so I have a zippered case with extra glasses for both of us. Plus numerous sunglasses since I've lost or broken at least 1 pr on every vacation. I take a tank and t shirt for each pair of shorts. Gives me an option depending on weather. My carry on tote is much smaller than yours since I don't like lugging a heavy bag around till we get in the cabin, so for two of us, I typically used 2 large suitcases. Hope you post your outfits in a blog since I no longer use Instagram. One tip for shampoo_conditioner, other liquids. I unscrew the top and put plastic wrap on the top. Then put the lid back on. This is another way to protect from spills, in addition to ziplock bags.
