Suggestion to stop leaking items: If the container has a threaded lid, unscrew the lid, pop a piece of saran wrap or a plastic bag over the threads, then screw the lid back on. That helps tremendously in case the lid pops open. Had shower gel leak all over everything in my luggage years ago, I've been doing the plastic trick ever since and haven't had an issue
Me too it works 🙂
Then put the bottles in a ziploc bag. I bought some shower caps from a janky site. They can’t fit a newborn’s head, but they work great for putting under the lid of a bottle.
I do this when I travel, which is often, and then I put my liquids in a plastic ziplock bag for extra insurance. No mishaps to date. 👍
Our last cruise my husband brought zero socks, thinking he would be wearing flip-flops the whole time. Well, elegant night comes and no socks lol. The only socks I had that he could squeeze his giant feet into had POM-POMS ON THEM! He wore them with pride 🤣
😂😂😂
Not the Pom pom socks 😂😂 too funny
That's hilarious I bet he looked great
@@monicareynolds8053 🤣😆😂
Excellent advice as always! Also Lynette has mastered the radiant minimal make-up look. She has that perfect radiant glow. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh thank you! 😊
A lot of diaper bags are made just like that bag with several pockets and compartment. And the diaper bags usually have a insulated compartment as well.
As soon as I get off my flight, I’ll be moving those miniature mouthwashes over to my carry on bag!! Thank you!
Going to the Caribbean on the Jubilee Oct 26-Nov 2. Your videos have helped my husband and I prepare. Keep these coming. ❤
Hi does Carnival Cruise line sponsor your content? I ask b/c you only mention Carnival, there are other cruise lines as well.
We are too it’s our 1st cruise!!!!
A good way to avoid luggage issues is to travel carry on only. Completed a 7 day cruise this spring and ensured we had pieces that can pair with alternates to create other outfits. This way will definitely prevent you from overpacking with airline luggage restrictions.
We can do 5 no problem but 7 never works. We’ll get there lol
Wash your clothes the last day we always use the laundry on the ship
Also if you fly in the day before and I always forget something there is always a quick run to the store I don’t worry about if I forget something now
Thank you for sharing guys. I have this saved.
Love all the Information ❤
Love your videos and tips! The reason for a non-surge protector power strip: Ships use an ungrounded electrical system. The surge protection that is a safety measure for your home electronics is actually a fire hazard on ships.
Thank you
I just lovvvvve you guys and thank you for all the tips and videos.
I just came back from a Bahamas Carnival cruise for a wedding and I always use a list because if I don’t I know for a fact I will over pack and buying that luggage scale is a must have I learned that fast when I went to Jamaica a few years ago! I’ve learned a lot prior to going on my cruise from yall channel and thank you!
Love all of your videos.. I’ve been on several different ships but your information will make a difference this June!!! Thank you both
Your videos always make me smile. Thank you so much. Going on my first cruise in 2 months - I feel like I am already an expert thanks to you.
Thank you!
This was so helpful
Appreciate this channel so much. Thank y’all.
Thank you. ❤❤❤
Thank you for brightening my Wednesday! I'm taking notes, but I know I can re-watch 😊.
You are so welcome!
“…. He was trying to be fancy..” 🤣😂🤣
Beautiful couple, thank you for the tips! I'm looking to become a travel agent myself❤
Great Tips! First cruise in 2 and a half weeks!!
I really appreciate your time I love you both like your my real family
I bought the exact same bag for our last cruise in October because of you….baby I love that bag…Thank you so much…
Awesome. This bag holds errthang lol
I forgot underwear's 😂😂. Luckily we went and stayed the day before. I got up to change, no draws. To walmart we go 😂
Lol
First time cruiser here, going on Carnival next weekend. I love your channel for all the good info you provide. Thank you
Have fun!
so helpful!! thank you! hi from seattle! 😀
Next cruise in 12 days and can’t wait. Already loading vacation mode.
Thanks family, that was crazy with the guy fishing on his balcony last year 🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️❤
Ayyeeee....my favorite cruise cousins!!! Hello from Atlanta, Georgia 🎉😊 🤗
Hey!!
I'm a frequent traveler by air and cruises and a lot of these I do, but I love you guys energy.
I’ve enjoyed listening to you guys 😂🎉 Cruising in January 2025 my first time going on Carnival.
Very good tips and reminders! No matter how many times you’ve cruised, there’s nothing like a good packing list too, thanks!
I was watching a TH-cam cruise video and someone brought a small portable washing machine onboard; or attempted to bring it but it was flagged, not allowed cruisers 🤷🏾♀️
I’ve watched 3 of your videos so far and I love them! They are very helpful and I’m getting more excited about my cruise in October. It will be my second cruise but first with Carnival so I’m excited! Thanks for the information! You guys are awesome 😊
Glad you like them! 🥰
That bag that Stanley has looks like the one I've been looking at for this summer. Might not be the same one, because the one I'm likely going to get has packing cubes inside.
Once again, y'all have knocked it out of the park! 80 days and 20 hours and some minutes until we sail out on our next one!
Yes, I think that's the one I have. Love it.
🥰
Unc is funny ... " I got a cup on it " 😂😂😂
Extremely valuable information...will be ensuring my wife watches this twice
I love your videos. Im planning my very 1st cruise and your videos have been a life saver.
Glad you like them!
Going on our first cruise in September! I LOVE you guys and your videos!! Ill have to look into using you as a travel agent next time we travel!
“We’re used to having 50s and 100s” 😂😂 sir I’m poor I haven’t had a bill over 20 in while lol but God keep making a way so I’m not complaining. I went in a cruise back in 2010 and it was amazing. Hoping to go on another pretty soon for our anniversary. Thanks for sharing, you’re a lovely couple. 💕
Thank you lovely couple. You are JEWELS.
Wow, thank you!☺️
Yalls videos have helped us on what to expect when we go! we’re sailing in January 2025 on the celebration! 😊
Next video can you please talk about typical costs of a cruise depending on time, flights, etc. Planning on my first cruise next year for my 50th birthday and would like to start setting aside funds in order to have a great time.
That’s hard to do because flights are subjective to where you live and where you are going.
I'm taking my 1st trip soon and the information y'all have provided.... Is top tier....... Y'all my cruising cousins 😄❤❤
Thank you so much
The non surge extension cords make sense. The ship is essentially trying to prevent a surge from going back through their electrical lines and causing a fire since their electrical system isn’t grounded like your home would be. They probably have some sort of “built in” mass surge protector on the ship.
49 today! Planning my first cruise next year for my 50th! Thanks for all the tips!
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday
@@LifeWithUsTV APPRECIATE IT! 😊
@@samueldotson2809 APPRECIATE IT!!! 😊
First cruise in September. Anniversary
OMG, the fishing boat with church the pews with then pass the collection hat 😂😂😂😂. That first experience knocked yall out a whole decade. Love the videos!
😂 it was wild
😃😃😃👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 yessss!!! Thank you!
Great information wanda always over packs we use 1 bag for dirty clothes and 1 for clean clothes and purchase items
Don’t do Wanda like that 😂😂
Thinking about going again in September or October where are you going about that time send me your booking info so we can book thew you
Nowhere. Going on a friends getaway but that’s it
The fishing pole comment took me out 😂😂
Can we get a vlog about the ports on ur next cruise😊
Love y’alls videos! Been watching y’all for a year now. I’ve been on several Carnival cruises but I still watch yall all the time to get me pumped for my next cruise lol. Quick question, we board the Horizon in Miami in 2 weeks and I was wondering what is the best time slot to pick to board the ship when we check in? Thank you!
There’s no right or wrong. We usually do 11:30
factz i tend to b forgetn alot🙄i already made me a list for everything..packing, things i want to call and ask about before i leave, things we want to do while were on the islands, i got me awhole little notebook lol, & the luggage weight situation i was super stressed about that when i was buying our luggage but mow after ive seen all these process videos i see they dont pay the size or weight any attention lol so thats a relief, yess when i made my oacking list i did 3 different catagories.."carry on", "mine", "hubbyz" i made sure evrything im packing is right where it needs to be..
Hittin all the videos now 😅
Cruising out of Norfolk next weekend
Funny thing abt the travel scale. I said I was gonna get my mama one because last time we went on a cruise and had to fly to New Orleans to get on the ship her luggage was over the limit on our way there and back and she had to rearrange and people waiting behind you. I had secondhand embarrassment 🤦🏿 lol
Lol
I forgot dress shoes ...tennis all week
im going on the Glory on my first cruise next month lol Im gonna make sure im prepared lol
Love yall and love the tips... I"ve cruised a lot, but about to take a cruise from Barcelona, Spain to Italy. I've never cruised in Europe. But, your tips are so helpful. Also, can I get your cruise vibes T-shirt you have? I would love to support. Peace and Blessings.

So we’re taking our first flight to Italy next year. Have you guys done a do’s and don’t for international travel👀. And I’m excited and nervous at the same time since I’m such an overpacker.
We haven’t at this time
Ok. As I'm watching you guys Scarlet Lady review now. ❤
Have a group next month. How would I prepare them for the cruise with carnival freedom?
Hey Fam, we are from Richmond too. We are thinking about converting over to Carnival. We went on our first cruise 2 years ago on Royal Caribbeans oasis of the seas and we got hooked. But we have been watching yall and now very interesting and trying Carnival.
I sure wish we found yall channel last year. Our flight was canceled the morning of the cruise and we couldn't get to miami by 4pm to embark. We were so HOT!! We lost $2400 ,but we did get our flight money back.
So do you recommend prepaying gratuities or tip throughout the cruise? Also, how much is a good tip for the porter?
Hey Family ❤️
Heyyy
Hey guys! Thanks for sharing! Do you guys travel Royal Caribbean? I’ve had multiple carnival experiences but my first Royal experience is coming up in May
Yes we do and have several vids on the channel
I’ve been on Royal Caribbean, this is my first time on Carnival 🎉
I got that bag 5 years ago!
Tou guy and great ❤
I think I bought majority of the items on the store .. I love that laundry bag and it fit perfect in my luggage after the trip
I love it too 🥰
I also bring a small travel bottle of Woolite just in case I want to wash out stuff in the cabin bathroom sink if I need to.
RC is strictly business. They took my brand new surge protector and it was sooooo crowded at the line to pick it up after cruise. I left it behind. I made the mistake of booking my flight at noon. 🤦🏾♀️ Didn’t get through customs until 10. OMG
Omg
Y'all are a beautiful couple!
Thank you
Hi, Stanley and Lynette. I want to thank you both for your cruise tips and suggestions. Lynette are you a traveling agent? If so please let me know.
Sure am 🥰
I just came back from a 7 day cruise on carnival and it didn't rain at all. It was hot tho.
Love from windsor nc
Heyyyy neighbor
What kind of powercord😢 can u use for your phone on the ship
Great packing video! Lynette - Love your carry on bag! Where can we get it?
Hit the link in the description field
Where do u get the traverers insurance from
Can u get a tumbler with a handle on it
Hey guys. All great tips. Hope when they took the fella wine/cartons or whatever it was; they give it back at the end? In terms of packing everything, don’t ppl still the clothes they wore the evening before unless like the lady you said packed, put her pjs on then put the luggage out. I’m the ziplock queen 😂. Yup re:tipping that starts from the Uber in NY to the airport. I have 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100’s and have them broken down per day for bartenders, servers at dinner. Let’s say on the Seascape we returned with a lot of the bartenders tip funds. Hoping their premium package and yacht club patrons gave them handsome extra tips. Paper and candy straws suck. Yessssss Lynette. Need a laundry bag. All great friendly reminders. Thanks so much.
Nope, when they take it that’s the end of it 👀
I actually use a digital fishing scale to weigh our luggage. They are extremely inexpensive and work great. I also use the same scale for my reselling business. I just put the items in a bag and weigh them that way
Great tip!
Thank you all so much for making all of your videos with such helpful advice and tips! I did have a question, I am not going to get my bags checked in and handled by a porter since we are going to handle our bags, is it even worth printing out the luggage tags?
Nope
@@LifeWithUsTV Thank you so much! 😊
I had 2 1st aid kits. Had to use it for my son.
Oh no 😢
Question I'm taking my first cruise August 23 on carnival Mardi Gras I know I can't take my THC products but I was told that n some ports they have a dispensery where you can buy something for the day. Have u seen any THC dispensers
Yep and street salesmen lol
I want to get a bottle of tequila with a worm in it to bring home when we are in Mexico, am I allowed to bring that bottle of tequila back on the boat or no.Do they check everything you buy when you come back on the ship that port
Hi Lynette and Stanleyyyyy 😂item is a portable washing machine, someone tried bring this on a cruise…smh
You can’t make that up 😂😂😂
Now some of the airlines luggage weight is 40 pounds!!!
Great video as always! Can I purchase the messenger nursing bag from your online store?
Yes you can!
@@LifeWithUsTV Purchased! Thank you! 😊
19:07 if they don’t have change I don’t have a tip
Lol
I really need a travel agent to switch my upcoming cruise reservation to, because my pvp ghosted me recently after I've paid my deposit! Can you guys recommend me or point me in the right direction.
If you have a PVP only they can touch it until you remove em.
Can you go over the checkin process please, do our toiletries need to be in carry on for examination, or are those fine for suitcase? Also, how the hell do you pack a 12-pack of soda as a carry on?? just carry it?😂😅
Should my power strip be in my carry on or checked bag ?
Nah
Omg I remember when I drove cross country from Ohio to California some how my foundation twisted open and leaked all in my lounge thank the heavens it was in a grocery bag with the rest of my make up because that would have literally been an automatic forget this Vegas trip I’m staying at my moms and driving back to Ohio in a few days bc all of my clothes would have been ruined
Omg!!
Do you have to check yr bigger bag or can you carry it on ship with you? first time cruiser here
No you don’t
Whats up my good people 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Heyyy fam
Be mindful tou WILL be shopping
Do you have packages available for Virgin voyages? If so, I'm interested.
No packages, just individual sailings
I never been on a cruise but want to give it a try...Is August a good month to cruise??
Yes but it’s extremely hot
Thanks...I'm trying overcome my fear but I really wanna take a cruise. Been watching your videos and would like to use your service in near future
22:26 how can they rack up charges when your picture shows. I tried to use my girlfriend’s card cause she was being lazy and they made her come to the bar to get her drink.
Some employees don’t really “care” unfortunately
Been on 8 cruises and still overpack! Even with the tips I mess up
Me too lol
