A - absolutely! A MUST for any trip! Especially if you are flying. This makes it much easier during a search but also lets you put the packs to go directly into drawers without taking anything out - ours have zippers that go around 3 sides and fold the top under so we can just pull from the packs - socks, undies in one - shirts in another - jeans, shorts, skirts in another. We always have one change in our carry on with our toiletries and those clothes go in one pack, making it easier going through inspection at the security area.
@@sharondalynnewton7562I have read so many complaints about cruise line staff failing to act that I wonder if it is “unwritten” policy, possibly part of DEI “sensitivity” training.
A) We like them because once unpacked, we use them to put the used clothes. This means all we have to pack the cubes prior to leaving the ship are the cubes (less stress).😊
A~YES! Love my packing cubes. They keep things tidy and organized and I can easily find what I am looking for without destroying my whole luggage. Also I never have to fully unpack.
B - No packing cubes but I do leave all my hanging items on hangers then all I have to do is pull them out of my suitcase and hang them up. I do this for mine and my husband's hanging items and it makes fast unpacking and packing!
A- yes, I have been using packing cubes for quite a while. It makes it so easy to just put your packing cube in a drawer and it keeps your clothes cleaner as well.
We love using packing cubes!! And we pack back into them as the week goes on with clothes we know we will no longer be wearing. Makes it easier to pack on the last day. 🤩
B. Learned how to pack from my father, who I am firmly convinced could fit a Lincoln Continental into the trunk of a Volkswagen and still have room for a couple of suitcases.
With the issues that the around the world cruise is dealing with along with the other story about the world cruise that never happened, there is no way I would ever sign up for one of these unless it is with a established cruise line like Royal Caribbean, etc.
I cruised for 5 years. 2000-2004 Holland America and Royal. So happy I did. I would not get on a cruise ship these days for anything. So sad what it has become.
B. I have heard of packing cubes. I was told it allows you to pack more in a suitcase. Definitely do not need that. I pack my stuff in my suitcase. Then I pack most of my wife's stuff in her suitcase. What does not fit in her suitcase, normally about 1/3 of what she is taking, goes into my suitcase. I will never understand why she needs 20 outfits for a 10 day cruise.
Absolutely A.. got the idea from " life well lived" Llana has some great ideas.. I swear by packing cubes. Saves room, just the the cube out place it a drawer and just take out what you. What is left stays clean for when you return home. Kellie, you have to use these and each child to, just get different colors for each child. Thanks Jason.
A Yes. I use all different brands and sizes. I have recently been using compression packing cubes. But people have to be careful when using them in regards to weight restricitons.
A - I love them and have been traveling with them since they were introduced. I own two sets now and what I really like is that you can just unzip it and just sit it in the drawers.
A. Yes compression packing cubes. Also pack hanger items on the hangers with plastic dry cleaner bags. Easy to unpack and few wrinkles for both methods.
We had Princess Premiere on our most recent cruise. It was great even before the upgraded version, so if you can swing it, I would HIGHLY recommend getting that package.
We love your channel. The first thing I check is your great selection of shirts. you must get one at every port on every cruise. I really like them a lot but my wonderful wife says they are not for me because they don't quite hide the slight, or maybe not too slight bulge inside the shirt. Seriously, I think your reports are straight to the point. No opinions, just fast and accurate news. We appreciate the fact that you always remind people to pray for people suffering loss. Keep up the good work.
That unlimited package is a bargain, Carnival wants 70.74 per person per day (15 drink limit) just for the drink package. Does not include any of the other items.
Yes other cruise lines drink packages are too much and beside wifi also expensive so the plus and premier package with Princess does makes sense to pay the additional cost. We always do! We started with plus and now every cruise we book we pay for the premium.
A - now I use packing cubes I can’t image travelling without them. I use compression packing cubes which allows me to travel carry on only .. a huge bonus! I have converted most of my friends to using them too haha.
Absolutely, we use packing cubes and also use carry on only, so packing efficiently is important. We also roll our cloths and use rubber bands to keep the rolls from expanding.
I used packing cubes for myself and my teenage daughter! However for my toddler I just use gallon size plastic bags and stuff the entire days outfit in the bag. My husband just throws his stuff in the luggage and call it a day
A-Yes! We use compression packing cubes! These let you pack more into your cases. Although you have to watch out for excessive weight! These work great especially when your limited on space when you're unpacking everything!
A- YES. I love them for organizing my clothes. When I get in my room I leave clothes in the cubes and place in drawers. I also like using compression cubes
B. NO, we’ve switched to the bundling method-maximizes what we can pack and so simple to open up the bundle and put on hangers! This is also called the Russian Doll or burrito method!
A - yes we use packing cubes and love them. We only pack carry on for cruises and packing cubes allow us to stuff more in and they help us stay organized in our cabin!

A -yes for me it’s much better 😊
A-yes
B. Never have so far. Might in the future.

The woman who threw the speaker should be banned for life! A yes
Hi Isabel! Yeah, I would not be surprised to see that happen.
I won't blow smoke in your nose if you won't blow noise in my ears. It is pollution, get earbuds and be considerate to others.
The couple playing music on their own personal speaker was being rude. The crew should have handled it.
I believe the woman could have handled the situation better. No need to throw the speaker off the ship.
@@sharondalynnewton7562I have read so many complaints about cruise line staff failing to act that I wonder if it is “unwritten” policy, possibly part of DEI “sensitivity” training.
B to me they are completely useless they take up more room and i have to look through my suitcase twice
A) We like them because once unpacked, we use them to put the used clothes. This means all we have to pack the cubes prior to leaving the ship are the cubes (less stress).😊
Thanks for sharing this! Great idea, and I’ll be doing this on my future cruises!
Hi Steven! Yes! Great tip!
Your's is my favorite cruise news channel! No personal drama! 👍👍👍
Hi Susan! Thank you so much!
A - Absolutely! Packing cubes makes everything so much easier, as well as helping me to not needlessly overpack.
B, after 600 or so cruise days always pack in folded layers.
Hi Friend! Good deal. And, 600 days of cruising is wonderful! Thanks for commenting. Hope you have a great day!
A~YES! Love my packing cubes. They keep things tidy and organized and I can easily find what I am looking for without destroying my whole luggage. Also I never have to fully unpack.
B: I use to years ago, maybe I’ll start back.
Hi Jo Ann! Yeah, I am a huge fan aslo. Thanks for commenting! Have a great day!
B - No packing cubes but I do leave all my hanging items on hangers then all I have to do is pull them out of my suitcase and hang them up. I do this for mine and my husband's hanging items and it makes fast unpacking and packing!
Yes! We do also! And I bought some pants hangers that hold 5 pairs. Saves a ton of closet space.
A - they really help packing and then unpacking in the cabin - I move them directly from the luggage to drawers and shelves.
"B"- I have a system that I use that allows me to take everything I want and it comes out with very little wrinkling.
A- yes, I have been using packing cubes for quite a while. It makes it so easy to just put your packing cube in a drawer and it keeps your clothes cleaner as well.
We love using packing cubes!! And we pack back into them as the week goes on with clothes we know we will no longer be wearing. Makes it easier to pack on the last day. 🤩
My Friends! Very smart technique! Think about you all often. I hope the family is doing well. Good hearing from you!
A - Yes…and I use the compression type. In addition to keeping things organized in the suitcase, they’re great to just lift out and place in a drawer.
B. Learned how to pack from my father, who I am firmly convinced could fit a Lincoln Continental into the trunk of a Volkswagen and still have room for a couple of suitcases.
B. No Learned the skivvy roll and still use it
Hi Wayne! Thanks for your input! Have a great day!
After twenty years in the Navy, I also pack my suitcase this way.
A. Yes. I love using the packing cubes. It keeps everything organized.
A. Yes, I love packing cubes especially compression packing cubes.
A...Yes! I am a long time cruiser, but only started using the packing cubes about 4 cruises ago...Love it! My clothes stay so much neater!!
With the issues that the around the world cruise is dealing with along with the other story about the world cruise that never happened, there is no way I would ever sign up for one of these unless it is with a established cruise line like Royal Caribbean, etc.
Hi Connie! Yeah, it would be a lot of money to "chance" on a start-up company. Good point. Appreciate you!
B. Compression cubes are great but add weight. Travel with carry on only.
I cruised for 5 years. 2000-2004 Holland America and Royal. So happy I did. I would not get on a cruise ship these days for anything. So sad what it has become.
B. I have heard of packing cubes. I was told it allows you to pack more in a suitcase. Definitely do not need that. I pack my stuff in my suitcase.

Yes, I use cubes, toiletry bags and even gallon size plastic bags to make packing and unpacking more organized and quick.
Absolutely A.. got the idea from " life well lived" Llana has some great ideas.. I swear by packing cubes. Saves room, just the the cube out place it a drawer and just take out what you.

A - love them! I usually just unzip and place in the drawer or on the shelf!
A. Yes compression packing cubes. Also pack hanger items on the hangers with plastic dry cleaner bags. Easy to unpack and few wrinkles for both methods.
A - Yes. I mainly use compression packing cubes. Not the old plastic ones but the ones with 2 sets of zippers.
A…yes, I find them great for organizing. Also very helpful if TSA opens and inspects your luggage after checking for flight.
Combo of packing cubes and vacuum bags. I have a small handheld vacuum I take with us that I use before we leave the ship and it works great for us.
A-yes! It makes organizing so much easier.
We had Princess Premiere on our most recent cruise. It was great even before the upgraded version, so if you can swing it, I would HIGHLY recommend getting that package.
A, yes. They can be moved easily into drawers or the closet space. Keeps small items from getting lost.
We love your channel. The first thing I check is your great selection of shirts. you must get one at every port on every cruise.

That unlimited package is a bargain, Carnival wants 70.74 per person per day (15 drink limit) just for the drink package. Does not include any of the other items.
Yes other cruise lines drink packages are too much and beside wifi also expensive so the plus and premier package with Princess does makes sense to pay the additional cost. We always do! We started with plus and now every cruise we book we pay for the premium.
A ~ they are quick to unpack and make it so easy to move items around in a suitcase, especially at the airport.
A - now I use packing cubes I can’t image travelling without them. I use compression packing cubes which allows me to travel carry on only .. a huge bonus! I have converted most of my friends to using them too haha.
