How to quickly and easily pack for a cruise. The benefits of packing cubes!

[@kikiswagify]

Great video! Very helpful!!

[@SWAdventures01]

Thank you!

Use the channels created by the telescoping handles to pack your flat shoes, flip-flops and your straightener/curling iron - don’t waste that space! Then you'll have even more space on the other side of your suitcase.

I haven't been on a cruise yet but its so fun watching this and preparing for one! :) thought I might also share the best carry-on bag I have been using for a long time now and recommend it to you. It is a bento bag from Nomad Lane. It is the most trusty, functional, and easy-to-carry bag. I have been traveling for work mostly and it is the best bag ever.❤🥰

Five days until our cruise on Voyager OTS. Very excited and waiting on my packing cubes to arrive. Enjoyed this video immensely. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SWAdventures01]

Thank you!!! I loved Voyager! I hope you have an incredible time!

[@foodplaces5165]

Only change I would make is you have too many bags for toiletries. I have a large one with everything for the cabin and a smaller one for items needed once out of the cabin. It goes in my backpack. I purchase the miniature of my favorite products and refill. Almost ALL bottles/tubes/tins can be refilled. If unsure, go to KZbin for directions. All in all, I enjoyed your video. 😁

[@maryannpiccirilli454]

Wow…a video in real time not warp speed. I may never do a carry on but your video helps a lot! Only thing I would have done would be to put my shoes, etc on the side of the bag with the extension handle…in the grooves. Thanks so much!,

[@SWAdventures01]

I probably need to update this video! lol. Thank you. Glad it helps at least a little.

Excellent video ❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks!!!

I used to use packing cubes and a 24 inch luggage. When I decided to go to a carryon suitcase I realized that I could put more in the suitcase if I did not use packing cubes…I ranger roll everything and I make sure to fill every negative space….we love cruising too! Bon Voyage! 🌹

[@SWAdventures01]

I go between wanting to use them and not! LOL. Even when I do use them, I still roll everything. Rolling is really the key, I think! There really is nothing like cruising, huh??!

[@pinnakal1]

What is ranger roll

[@54Mello]

@@pinnakal1 you can find many videos on KZbin that show you how to do the ranger roll. I also use this method too fold my hoodies in my close closet.

[@deliciouslysaid]

Love you hair! Great style!!

[@leelanarinesingh8022]

Wonderful tips for packing for a cruise. Thank you very much.

[@SWAdventures01]

For sure! I could do some things different, like using less bags. Try that!

[@stephaniechase7613]

Love you're packing technique and I'm going on a 2nd Family Cruise to Iceland and Greenland in August

[@SWAdventures01]

Those are bucket list cruises!!! That is exciting!

[@stephaniechase7613]

@@SWAdventures01 Yes, cruises are my only way of travel now and I can't wait

[@texasgirl8446]

Love packing cubes but a small suitcase what happens if you shop at a port ?

[@SWAdventures01]

If you’re driving to your port and plan to shop, for sure being a bigger suitcase. I don’t do a ton of shopping at port and what I do collect are small things like magnets and Christmas ornaments! For sure plan ahead for shopping if you are a big shopper!

[@janethahughes7344]

How much did your suitcase weigh? I want to be able carryon my bags on plane 😬, Im definitely a over packer, but seeing you fit all those things in that small suitcase give me hope lol, usually don’t use packing cubes 🤔

[@SWAdventures01]

I don’t remember exactly, but it was under 50lbs!

[@quincybrown3868]

I'm curious... with your carry on expanded, does it fit in the overhead bin?? Can anyone provide me info on that? Please & thank you. 😊

[@SWAdventures01]

I don’t typically fly… I drive, so it isn’t an issue for me. However, if it won’t fit, they will check it for free for you at the gate, most times.

[@pinnakal1]

I was wondering the same thing… sometimes the expansion doesn’t allow for it to go overhead.

[@ginamills5597]

Off topic but love the hair & nails. Very complimentary!😀

[@SWAdventures01]

Awe!!! Thanks!!!

[@tinyablake1593]

Take plastic wrap and put under caps and screw on no leaks

[@kittkatt2255]

Have you tried compression cubes? I found that they can save some space.

[@SWAdventures01]

No, but I plan to! They look like they work even better. Do they leave your clothes wrinkled?

[@pinnakal1]

So cubes or no cubes. Im trying to maximize space. I heard the Bisho cubes can hold alot

[@zareinakhan8538]

Hi if you don’t mind pls which carry on bag is this?? I love the color pink bag so I click on your video but inside lining I like more as it’s not not blue or black so I’m looking for such bag would be good help.

[@SWAdventures01]

Hi! I love this bag! I got it at TJMaxx.

[@zareinakhan8538]

@@SWAdventures01 I will try to find in tjmax, thanks

[@jasminebounds]

What suitcase are you using ?

[@SWAdventures01]

Oh man… I can’t remember the name of it, but it’s just a travel size that I bought at TJMAXX!

[@jasminebounds]

Thank you

[@angelafisher7829]

I understand you want to keep things in their own spots, but you can actually bring all that down to 3 cubes. same with your toiletries bags only need 2 one for make- up and one for everything else, makes for a lot more space.

[@SWAdventures01]

It’s funny you say that! I actually combined that on my next trip. You are absolutely right. Works great.

[@tijay8507]

She packed extremely poorly! i said the same just now

[@clintonfaulkner4190]

Wish you could do a male version of this.

[@SWAdventures01]

I’ll work on one!

[@irishrose5460]

Love your tutorial on packing cubes….however, I would lose that background music…it drove me insane. I’m sure others can relate. It would be much better with just you. Just a thought

[@SWAdventures01]

Thank you for that feedback! It’s probably time to update this packing tutorial.

[@charlottenicolas983]

Love your zipper sounds

[@porchagordon7815]

Do you check your luggage?

[@SWAdventures01]

I pack so I don’t have to check it, but I always choose to just so I don’t have to carry it around with me. I like to get on the ship as early as possible, so rooms aren’t ready until 1-2pm. If I get on at 11am and then have to carry it around for several hours, it’s a lot! Lately, when I check it, it is at my room by the time I’m allowed to go to the room, so I choose to do that! When I disembark, I always take my own luggage off, though.

[@porchagordon7815]

@@SWAdventures01 I'm guessing with the toiletry bag you leave from a home port then?

[@SWAdventures01]

@@porchagordon7815 correct, or I drive a long distance. Don’t really care to fly. However, I will be flying to Florida in December. I will still carry on for that, I will just change out some of the toiletry items for the sizes that are approved.

Makes sense
