[@melodymills5432]

If we are taking two suitcases, I pack half of my items and half of my hubbies in each suitcase. That way if for some reason a case is lost we are not totally without clothing. In your 3-1-1 bag place items horizontally to save space.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Great tip

[@thatkayleegirl50]

Great idea!

[@marilynwilliams1849]

I do the same thing with my own luggage. My carry on has both casual and formal clothing and one bathing suit and cover up as well as my checked luggage.

[@MissHimbeere]

@Marilyn Williams I do the same, because once both of our luggages got lost (they forgot them in Istanbul when we were switching airplanes), so I keep sleepwear, 2 outfits, toiletries, and so on, in my carry on. Sleeping in your sweaty clothes you wore on flight is disgusting.

[@patriciakoester1580]

What a smart idea

[@jamess5154]

You did an excellent job pointing out packing hacks. The only additional hack I have is I leave the room when my wife packs. We have totally different methods and my sitting in the bar when she packs to go home has kept us married for quite a while. The only problem is she takes so long I get pretty "happy" sitting in the bar that long so I have to pack first..😁

[@lauraguerrero2190]

If we r flying and check luggage we split the clothes for my husband and myself between two pieces of luggage. That way if one of the pieces are lost we at least have some clothes. 6 days until celebrity reflection

[@LifeWellCruised]

Definitely a smart idea!! & omg your cruise is almost here!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@elaine1140]

great idea, also put shorts in caryyon bag for when you first get there

[@julieb7882]

Great tip on extra pair of glasses, even on land vacation. Many years ago when lenses were real glass sister had a lense shatter. Getting a replacement lens many miles from home was interesting. Also there is a nearsighted fish wearing a pair of mine in lake Huron.

[@mensagraham147]

On all Carnival trips you can order 12 - 16 oz bottles of water to your cabin, prior to departure, for $5.85. Order two if you like. You can also bring 2 bottles of wine on board for your room enjoyment if you care.

[@marydungan6748]

Getting ready to go on my 1st cruise in almost 2 years, and this video came at just the right time. I can't wait to be on board the Carnival Mardi Gras!

[@LifeWellCruised]

That’s awesome!! What a fabulous first cruise 🎉

[@pamelacrowell2007]

I always take a foldup vinyl tote bag with a zipper for my dirty clothes. I am able to just put my dirty clothes in every day, zip it up and carry it off the ship and, if flying, I just check it! It is wonderful and makes sure I am not stinking up my clean clothes!

[@LifeWellCruised]

Love this tip

[@mjd9366]

OMG! We took our first cruise a couple weeks ago and used a handful of your hacks. They saved me so much time!! The packing cubes are amazing!!! It kept us so organized and made the unpacking and getting settled in our room so quick and easy. Also, the magnet hooks!! Brilliant!! Kept a number of items up off the limited desktop space. I brought binder clips to clip hats together and hang on the hooks. The hooks were a little smaller than I expected but, they were great! Oh, and the suggestion about the power cube. YES! It was so needed and the cube worked excellent. Thanks for all the great ideas!! I felt like a seasoned cruiser!!

[@mmorden9938]

I just bought some cadence containers for my liquids. Amazing. Takes little room in my 3-1-1 bag. I have magnets that I love to hang things

[@beatricearzola4133]

I am going on my first ever cruise in January and it took alot of convincing by my husband as I had completely shut out the idea of ever going on a cruise after hearing so many horror stories. Anyway I have been watching many of your videos and I just want to say thank you for all of the important information and helpful tips you provide. I am now excited and prepared for my upcoming getaway!!

[@LifeWellCruised]

Awe so glad to hear! Honestly, cruising is a great way to travel. Once on the ship it’s both a fun & relaxing vacation. Happy planning 🎉

[@deborahallen3318]

Good for you and your husband! The both of you will be hooked on cruising for life! Wherever you are going you'll have the time of your life! I'm very happy for the both of you. 🤗

[@janaimaughan3599]

I also like to bring magnetic clips for clipping up our shore excursion paperwork or artwork from my girls (who don’t usually come with us) to make it seem more homey.

[@lisapalmer7389]

What I do for my kids because they like to dig through their packing cube and make such a mess. I select a different color cube for each child. Then I pick out the outfits at home and lay the top and bottom flat then roll each outfit up like a jelly roll and place them side-by-side in their packing cube. They just grab one roll each day and it makes everything so much easier.

[@jakmak52]

I find that the aLOKSAK Element Proof Bag 12" x 12" (2 Pack) are great for not only cosmetics but any items for secure weatherproofing.

[@DonLekei]

I use hand-vacuum bags (like giant Ziploc bags) to compress my clothes. You can place the packing cubes in the bags and roll the air out. Great for packing the dirty laundry at the end of the trip.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Good idea! How do you compress them at the end of the cruise?

[@DonLekei]

@@LifeWellCruised You roll them up (kind of like wringing a towel) the zip the seal. There is a new version that comes with a little hand pump. I am going to order those for next time.

[@linda319]

California Linda shares another great vlog Ilana. We use a cookie cutter and safety lite tape to make dogs shapes and these stickers stay on the suitcases, even lasted through four international and trips, and the stickers are still doing their job - easy to spot coming off the baggage corral at airports when we check luggage and very easy to find in the rows of luggage in the cargo area after departing from your cruise. Your cellphone flashlight makes it easy - look for the glow.

[@LifeWellCruised]

That’s the cutest!! Love that idea

[@DestinationAnywhere321]

I use the disposable shower caps from hotels as shoe covers when packing.

[@priscillabohn4621]

I love how you say hello with your hand and fingers!!!!

[@haydenswhear]

Been binge watching these and Gary’s videos. Headed on a 12 night celebrity in December. Can’t wait! Thanks for the video!

[@LifeWellCruised]

Omg so exciting!! I just love Celebrity - we really debated between our Princess & a celebrity cruise, but the Princess date worked best. Have an amazing cruise!

[@janaimaughan3599]

I second the printing of all your documents. On our last trip, the airport Wi-Fi went down just as we were starting to board our flight and people were having trouble pulling up their boarding passes on their phones. We had ours printed and got to walk right on.

[@ErikaEmody]

Even though I’m about to take my 13th cruise, I still listen to your videos as a refresher to make sure I bring everything to front of mind before I start packing. Thank you! 😊

[@incognito9718]

I love your style of thinking as how to organize things. Very similar to me. You did great job addressing very important points.

[@leannsmith6516]

Ilana, I cannot tell you how much your videos have helped me out for our upcoming cruise. We have not cruised in 20 years and so much has changed. I think I've watched all of your videos, and I may have cleaned out Amazon on travel accessories. Thank you so much!!!

[@LifeWellCruised]

Omg too funny! So true a lot has changed. So glad the videos (and item suggestions 😂) were helpful :)

[@kathryncashner3294]

We play "musical clothes" with our luggage. I will place 3 outfits in my cruise buddy's case and she will do the same with mine. I'll also have 2 outfits in my carry on. That way, if a piece of luggage is lost, we will each have some of our own things. This evolved after my suitcase was "lost" during a trip to WDW and I had minimal clothing for the 5 days until it was located. When there are more than 2 of us, I line up the suitcase and each person places an outfit in each suitcase until all the outfits are packed. Obviously, these are complete outfits including underwear and socks

[@Kayrenar]

Great packing hacks! I pack my embarkation bag with items that I can "survive" a day just in case my luggage arrives late to my room. Fun shall not be delayed!

[@ellison019]

Heading to Mexico in weeks. Brushing up on the do's, don'ts, take, don't take. This video is awesome!!!

[@stevebartley628]

for a distinctive ribbon on your luggage, check out a surveyor supply store - tapes of different colors, with stripes, polka dots, etc.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Great idea! You’re right duct tape comes in many different colors

[@BUYBLUESHOPPER]

I'm a ziplock lady I pack each day in a bag. All NY vitamins in a small ziplock 1 for each day. I find I am very organized.

Alaska now has fees for luggage over 40 lbs…I saw the sign when we flew 2 weeks ago. This was news to me so I recommend checking before you go! I always take my scale!!

[@LifeWellCruised]

Alaska Air? Good tip to always check each trio

[@charmanewilliams9858]

These tips are so helpful, you're really preparing me for My upcoming cruise.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

Take pictures of your suitcases. That way if lost you are in no doubt and about colour and makings. I also always put a large printout of my itinerary and place it on top of everything in the case.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Smart idea! I may share this tip in a future video 👍

I haven’t cruised since 2018. I’m going on a back2back cruise for my 60th birthday on the Mardi Gras. I’ll be on the sailabration cruise!

Thank you for sharing!!

[@LifeWellCruised]

What a great way to celebrate your 60th birthday!! Omg a B2B on this ship will be amazing 🎉 So glad the video was helpful & thanks for your purchase :)

[@CruisingEngineer]

Excellent video as always. Great idea about keeping the good jewelry home and taking inexpensive pieces. My motto is: only pack what you are willing to lose. Saying that I pack my important documents, wallet, and phone in a fanny pack and keep it on me through the flight and toss it into the safe once onboard the ship. If there is an inflight emergency and evacuation, you can't take any luggage with you, but the fanny pack is attached and I can slide down the escape slide safely. Also, clarify "packing heavy items on the bottom". The bottom of an open suitcase on the bed is different than the bottom of a suitcase standing on the wheels (for those not used to packing for a trip).

[@LifeWellCruised]

Smart idea for the fanny pack!! Thanks for clarifying too :)

[@Philippa-]

Really useful advice as always. The cling film idea for bottles is a really good idea. Luckily at Southampton they never seem to care how many suitcases you are checking in or weigh them. I have bright coloured suitcases that make it easy to spot them in the collection hanger. I have those luggage tags and they are really good.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Very smart! Yes I have a friend who takes a crossing from Southhampton back to the US and she tells me she brings tons of stuff (Christmas gifts & lots of treats she can’t get at home)

[@sunseekermama]

Ooh,like the electronics case idea!

[@LifeWellCruised]

My hubby likes it too :)

[@mom2collegekids26]

I would like to buy a euro converter plug so I can use that “other plug” in the cabin. However, not sure which to buy because I was told NOT to get one that just changes Euro to US plug, but to get one that also converts the power to be safe for a US product.

[@kamillemerz9136]

We bring two or three of the faux (battery) tealight candles from the dollar store - they make a great nightlight in the bathroom. The dollar store is also a great place to pick up small travel sizes of over-the-counter medicines that we like to bring just in case.

[@glowyaf]

My tip is if you are flying before your cruise, wear your heaviest shoes and the clothes that take up the most space so you have more room in your suitcase and it doesn’t weigh so much. My makeup is pretty heavy, so I put it in my carry on instead of my suitcase so my suitcase isn’t too heavy. Plus my makeup is expensive, so I don’t wanna risk losing it if my suitcase gets lost.

I'd recommend purchasing an inexpensive USB hub, which allows you to plug in several devices for recharging, while using only one cabin electrical outlet. They aren't surge protected, so are allowed by the cruise lines.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Not a dumb question. When you’re on your cruise, the cruise line will give you new luggage tags for disembarkation. They often give 6 or so, but you can ask for more. I have a video about what to expect for disembarkation that might be helpful:)

I've watched quite a few (hundred?) of these packing tips videos. They get me excited for my planned trips! But I gotta tell ya, I just don't get the excitement over packing cubes. I'm already packing a suitcase. Now I have to pack nylon zip cases to go in the suitcase? I know, I know, these cubes can be put in drawers and shelves to make unpacking a simple exercise. But then I'll have to check several of them to find my sexy underwear, not the practical panties. I'm not organized enough to remember what I put where. And before you tell me that I can purchase see through ones, (I'm thinking about the sexy underwear again) I'll just say, "No way, Jose." Love you Ilana!

[@LifeWellCruised]

Haha I love packing videos too! I totally get why you might not like the packing cubes. If you don’t need them & it would actually make packing more complicated, you’ve got to stick with what works :) - thanks so much Judith ☺️

[@langelique1352]

I tag all of mine with lightweight, clear badge tags and attach them with a clear luggage loop to the zipper pull. To make the bags easier to open, I put pulls on the zippers. I then let those tags be visible in both my suitcase and when in the cupboards or the drawers in the cabin.

[@rmc6935]

Distribute the clothes between all the bags so if one item of luggage is lost it will reduce the impact of that. I used to only put my stuff in my bag and if my bag was lost I’d be in big trouble.

Also, one set of cables in each bag. Gives you backup cables in case one dies or one case doesn't get to you. Remember battery packs must be in carry-on for your flight, they are banned in checked luggage. If they catch it, your checked bags may not get to your final destination.
