'' you can wear the same thing twice '' is probably the most important and useful thing anyone can say. There is no way I am wearing a different outfit morning and night and different each day! You're going on a cruise to relax and have fun, not to impress people that you dont even know! Nice video and thanks 😃😃
Hi Ladioz! So glad you liked the video! Packing minimally is definitely doable if you're comfortable with it. I totally get that it's not for everyone and that's ok! But it's definitely what we like to do! Thanks for watching! 🤗🛳❤️
To get your swimsuit dry faster, take your wet suit, roll it up in a room towel and squeeze it, then hang up to dry. The towel will pull out a lot of moisture so it will be dryer to start with.
Love the colors of your outfits Chelsy! We go to dinner every night. So that’s a dress each night. Which does make packing difficult and heavy! Haha. You’re so right about the shoes tho! 2 pairs is good👍🏻
Great tips! I travelled with my kids and wide and we forgot a bag at the airport because we had too much stuff with us. I will definitely go more minimal for everyone on our next trip! 😀
Hi Bryan! It is definitely hard to keep track of everything sometimes! That’s definitely one reason why we pack light, so we have less to accidentally lose lol We are so happy this video was helpful! Thanks for watching! 🤗🛳🧳
Hi Michelle! Oh wow that’s great! We’re so glad it was helpful! We haven’t sailed in Alaska yet so we will be a fish out of water on those sailings! Happy travels! 🤗🛳
Wow this was a really good informative video and you know we cruise like you guys all the time. But I did learn that I guess rolling your clothes is the way to go and I have never done that before. Also Chelsy is there anyway you could do like a quick tutorial on how the downy wrinkle release works? I’ve never seen that product either
Hi Parrysh! Thanks for watching and for the kind words, we always appreciate it! The wrinkle release spray is super easy to use! You just lay the clothes out, spray them, and then tug and smooth the wrinkles. 😁 Happy Travels!
Nice video * if wanna know : Live with favor ( Favor & Rob ) is going on Carnival Mardi Gras sept. 4th 2021 /Also there going on Carnival Magic late aug. 2021 5 day cruise
@@HoffmanHappyTravels your outfits are like what I would take but my snorkel gear has kept me from packing in carry on, but I am giving it another shot for November cruise 🚢 I need those small fins and break down mask!
Here is tropical tom's reason #23 to book more cruises with matt and chelsy and cruise more often: You can free laundry service on RCL at the higher loyalty levels allowing you to pack less and still have clean clothes. So, book another cruise NOW ( to pack less and get free stuff yada yada yada )
Hi DJ! We actually did get a couple of souvenirs and were able to fit it in the suitcases! But we only get a shirt or something like this so there’s usually plenty of room! 🤗🛳🧳
Hi! We hang stuff all the time and never lose anything. We make sure everything is secure and don’t put it out when winds are super high. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Do you drop your carry on bags with the porter at embarkation and use a backpack until the afternoon? At disembarkation, do you self carry because you have the one suitcase?
Hi Bill! Thanks for watching! Yes, exactly! Suitcases with porter/drop-off, backpacks stay with us. When disembarking, we don't need any luggage assistance, so we just self carry and walk off. 😁 Happy Travels!
Hi! We mentioned at the beginning of the video that we have a separate backpack for that and weren’t going to dive into those items in this video, but if you like to see content regarding that just let us know and we might make a future video about our gear! 🤗🧳
Hey? Do you guys not wear underwear? Also, has your wife never had a bra break? One last thing. One pair of shoes is dangerous. We got caught in a rainstorm off the ship once and those shoes were not dry for weeks! Literally!
If it really impeded your trip that much, couldn't you just buy a cheap pair of shoes at the next port? (If this was an extra long trip that was weeks?) Better to spend $20 or $30 on a new pair of shoes than to ruin thousands of dollars of future vacation days.

Hi Doria! Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Thanks for the video it was wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Lanette! So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
I love these kinds of videos. I try and fit everything in a backpack. Will be interesting for a 10 day cruise to Alaska.
YES! Minimal packing for the win! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
Thanks guys! Love this and how simple you guys lay it out! Ps chels I love how bright and colorful your stuff is 😬
Hi Brandye! 🤗 Thank you so much!! I definitely have a thing for bright colors!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Great job! Thanks

I am so glad you did this I’m going a 7 day cruise in September and wanna pack light as possible
Hi Priscilla! Yayy! That’s awesome! We’re so happy that this is helpful for your sailing! We hope you have a great time! 🤗🛳🧳
Great job packing. (also a great looking cat!)
Hi VCTJX! Thanks for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it! 😁😻
Happy Travels!
Nice job with the video. Great tips. Too bad the cat wouldn't cooperate and stay in the bag 😂
Thanks Dawn! Haha, yes, if we could sneak our furry friends onto the cruise we definitely would lol 🐶🐱
What cat? That's an emotional support animal. 😺
This will be handy for our Mexico cruise in March. I'm a fish out of water when it comes to warm weather cruises. I'm used to Alaska cruises!
Hi Michelle! Oh wow that’s great! We’re so glad it was helpful! We haven’t sailed in Alaska yet so we will be a fish out of water on those sailings! Happy travels! 🤗🛳
Well done!
Hi Carole and Paul! Thank you so much! 🤗
Thx guys. I am inspired to downsize next trip. Less is more.
Hi Rosanna! That’s awesome and we’re so glad this was helpful! 🤗🧳

Yay! Thanks for watching Debbie! 🤗❤️🛳
I have never heard of a wrinkle release spray. I am definitely going to purchased one. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Rhonda! It is my favorite item in my suite case! My grandmother used to buy it and I’ve been using it ever since! 🤗
@@HoffmanHappyTravels
Have you guys ever traveled to Sandals Royal Barbados? I know you guys are cruising right now, but just curious 🤔?
No we have not been to Barbados, but we definitely would like to one day!
@@HoffmanHappyTravels
After my trip from Beaches Turks & Caicos, I may have a mission for you guys if you choose to accept 😉.
Bring it! 😎
Nice video

We love traveling with only carry ons.
Hi Mathew and Lauren! SAME! It’s so nice having less to keep track of! Thanks for watching! 🤗🧳
What about souviniers!!?! How dare you not bring another one for those!!! 😉😎😎😎
Hi DJ! We actually did get a couple of souvenirs and were able to fit it in the suitcases! But we only get a shirt or something like this so there’s usually plenty of room! 🤗🛳🧳
I have heard Not to hang things out on balconies as they could fly off and that is highly a No no!

do you like specialty restaurants? or the Buffet?
Hi JPTravelAdventures! We like both specialty restaurants and the buffet! We typically go to both during our cruise! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
Where are those teal shoes from though??
Hi Nicholas! The shoe company is called Allbirds! They are very environmentally friendly and super comfortable! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
What do you do about sunscreen? Do you buy at your destination?
Hi Sara! We had a travel sized sunscreen in our toiletries bag! Thanks for watching! 🤗🧳
How many days is your cruise?
This cruise was 7 nights! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Lol I read the thumbnail for this video as "criminal cruise packing"
Haha! You’re totally right! It did look like that! I just changed it slightly to help it! Thanks for the heads up! 🤗🛳
That light of luggage should be criminal. :-]
So when you go to the main dinning room you don't wear dress slacks or dress shoes?
Hi Gloria! Thanks for watching!
We usually don’t eat at the Main Dining Room, but no, we do not. 😁
Happy Travels!
So you’re just eating in windjammer all Cruise long, no Main Dinner Room?
Hi Stephanie! No, we eat at the main dining we just dress casually at the dining room. Thanks for watching!
Are you going in a next cruise?????
Hi Jaea! Yes our next cruise will be on the Carnival Mardi Gras! 🛳🥳⚜️
@@HoffmanHappyTravels Okay
We are sailing on the Mardi Gras on September 25th and cannot wait!!!
That’s awesome, Shannon! We hope you have a fabulous time! 🥳
So are they wearing sneakers during formal nights or at 157 🤔
Hi Kyle! Yes, we dress very casual even on designated formal nights. Dressing up is not required or expected. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
What about your laptop and camera equipment? LOL.
Hi! We mentioned at the beginning of the video that we have a separate backpack for that and weren’t going to dive into those items in this video, but if you like to see content regarding that just let us know and we might make a future video about our gear! 🤗🧳

Thanks for watching! We both packed undergarments, we just felt like that wasn’t necessary to show those items for the purposes of this video.
@@HoffmanHappyTravels Ha! Thanks. Thought I might have to call y’all the Commando Hoffman’s!
If it really impeded your trip that much, couldn't you just buy a cheap pair of shoes at the next port? (If this was an extra long trip that was weeks?) Better to spend $20 or $30 on a new pair of shoes than to ruin thousands of dollars of future vacation days.
Too much irrelevant info
