PACK WITH ME FOR A CRUISE IN 2023! (Very Detailed!)

[@MegaHahndo]

12 days….independence of the seas. Can’t wait!!

[@InMyCruisingEra]

30 days until I get on Indy OTS

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Yesss ave so much fun y’all!

[@ltarleton7527]

Packing cubes are a game changer for real! I do exactly what you did. My cubes go from suitcase to the drawers!

[@vacationvibesofficial]

you are doing it right!

[@nicc8230]

I love being an what some call an "over-packer", I always have what i need and what everyone wishes they had! also I am lucky, my partner does not mind me using some of his space for things we both end up needing. I'm spoiled because he bought me luggage cuz he knows I love packing and creating lists, and does not flinch at baggage fee (yes i can and do buy my own luggage, and can afford my own fees lol). Reason being we live in a very laid back area, mostly no sun, always rains, and no one dresses up. The only time it feels right to wear my clothes is when we are traveling! Do ya thing gurl!

[@vacationvibesofficial]

More power to ya girl! When I travel with under packers, their suitcase is my extra space too lol

[@wkndgrltrp]

I love my Takeoff luggage. The airlines hate it. I was even stopped before going thru security when saw no carry-on on my ticket, but it fit😂😊

[@Cecelashell]

Perfect timing. I’m packing for first cruise tonight

[@vacationvibesofficial]

That’s so perfect!!! Glad I could help!

[@princessjones3582]

15 days …. Carnival celebration! i’m so excited!!

[@vacationvibesofficial]

woohoo! I hope you have a great time!

[@mrscruisequite07phalo42]

After your video I don't feel bad anymore about over packing. Its best to have than to need and not have. On point with the packing cubes, I have a Amazon collection of them.

[@vacationvibesofficial]

no, never feel bad! it feels much better to know you have options vs leaving something at home that you wanted!

[@vanessabullock36]

Ohh girl! I an in the process of packing right now! On the Mardi Gras day after tomorrow! Thanks for the tips!

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Yes!!! Now we can pack together!

[@anitranovak2459]

Have a blast Sis🎉🎉

We need an over packers anonymous lol

I laughed so hard at the "and I'll do it again!" Girl that $50 is a night of fun

You hear me!? 😂😂😂

[@showerthoughts2576]

45 days left till I set sail with Royal Caribbean !

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Woohoo!

[@keishakeesh]

Really good video... All the traveling I do and I never thought to use packing cubes!

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Girl I have them linked in the description, go ahead and put ‘em in the cart! It’ll save your life

[@OakCliffTX]

Compression are game changers for long trips & over packers

[@authenticallykyle]

Packing cubes are essential!

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Big time!! I can’t believe so many people don’t use them!

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey V. I’ve never used packing cubes but I’m plus size. Not fit like you. Don’t think I can fit much in it. 2 outfits a day. Comfy Capri leggings and tees /swimsuit during the day and nice casual / formal for dinner. Yes. Workout wear. Omg. You can open up a swimwear boutique 😂. Watching you pack taking me to my youth 🙌🏼. That wine skin is great. Yes. We have a scale. I’m so busy commenting, 😂, I missed where you put your jewelry and handbags. Unpacking truly quick but I see you leave them in the cubes except your dresses. Thanks for sharing and see you next video. 🛳️

[@vacationvibesofficial]

I had an ex much bigger than me who was able to utilize the packing cubes! They do come in different sizes too!

[@cydneystephen2814]

@@vacationvibesofficial thanks. Great to know. 🙌🏼

[@anitranovak2459]

Great video, I go cruising in two weeks for 4 day getaway

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Perfect!! I hope this was helpful for you!

Packing cubes are indeed a life saver!!! Great video V!!

[@BAngieB1]

Great video...Thanks for sharing..

[@mscandys549]

Hi, taking my first cruise ever in June for my 51st bday. My ATL siblings, who cruise all the time, planned this trip but I’m having to get all tips from you rub. I hope you enjoyed your trip . By no means will I ruin my bday in the gym 😅but I’ll pay for it dearly after the cruise. Thanks so much for taking time to help others.

[@vacationvibesofficial]

You’re welcome! Im glad to help and I’m sure you’ll be fully prepared once the cruise is here!

[@YanzP]

Great reminder on the casual clothes! No worries on overpacking [if it fits lol] You would rather be prepared, then not have what you need 😉

[@vacationvibesofficial]

exactly!

[@ddestini]

yess love me some chai tea

[@chevonnebutler2859]

I’m definitely gonna try this for my next cruise coming up in June. Thank you for sharing

You’re so welcome!

Enjoy yourself 💖💖

[@vacationvibesofficial]

I can’t wait

[@SeeItWithC]

Thanks for sharing! I try not to overpack and do a two outfits a day system...but I still overshoot at times. Oooo and love how you organize your swim attire.

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Thank you!! The swimwear is getting out of control lol. The couple times I purposely didn't overpack, I forgot things so I just let it be lol.

[@lenoremarie7632]

Hi! Love the tips I have some foam Birkenstocks but they’re not all that comfortable for port days IYKYK. Would you say the Teva’s are good for walking all day?

[@vacationvibesofficial]

yes they are! they are my favorite sandals everrr.

[@ingaguenther9311]

Great video! Thanks for the tips!

[@vacationvibesofficial]

thank you!

[@decolbyspears9653]

Definitely need that personal suitcase

[@vacationvibesofficial]

[@heliantasosa8111]

Your video is awesome!!!

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Thank you!

[@sunflowerantigone]

Is it okay to take your backpack and your takeoff suitcase on the cruise as well if you have the checked suitcase?

[@vacationvibesofficial]

You can bring as much as you want.

[@mariabrown5348]

I’m so repacking my suitcase right now!!!!

[@vacationvibesofficial]

yaassss girl, get it right and tight!

[@shirelleblue6673]

I’m new to your channel. Love ❤️ the vibes 😊

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Welcome!! Thank you!

[@savannahbrown5722]

So can you have a backpack and the takeoff carryon for southwest? I haven’t been on plane in years

[@vacationvibesofficial]

I believe on southwest you can bring 2 free checked bags. Check your Simone for bag details.

[@litbyyoucandles8726]

I did also overpack for seven days and your first cruise I didn’t know 😮

[@vacationvibesofficial]

This same packing could have worked for a seven day too lol

[@shirelleblue6673]

Packing cubes. ❤❤

[@vacationvibesofficial]

I love them

[@pnwnewyorker9088]

Which cruise lines make you pay for tea? So I can stay far far away.

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Not for you basic breakfast teas, green teas, etc but I specifically like chai tea and that is not found on most ships I’ve been on.

[@poch071382]

Hi where did you get the yellow suitcase from? I need one made like that for my next trip

[@vacationvibesofficial]

it is from Calpak! I bought it at Marshall's

[@iceblade207]

Very good presentation

[@simoneking6724]

Jus wondering if you brought a pair of trainers (I’m from the U.K. 🇬🇧) or sneakers for the gym?

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Yes I did, I always wear them to the airport so they never go into my bag.

[@soniiabaybee]

You didn’t actually pack the little one? im gonna be flying gulf air, economy they only allow 45x 40 x 30 … but idk how i would pack that for an 18 hr flight / 9 hr lay over

[@sharailkellam4349]

Hi what was the name of the sandals you said were very comfortable?

[@vacationvibesofficial]

They're called Tevas!

[@kennethclausell6788]

How did you get the bottle of wine through TSA don’t they still have a fluid limit

[@vacationvibesofficial]

It’s in my checked bag. Checked bags don’t go through TSA.

[@shannicebest2005]

Where did you purchase your pack cubes ?

[@vacationvibesofficial]

Everything is linked in the description :)

[@amyg5374]

this just showed me how many swim suits I don’t have 😅

[@AccordingToRobin]

Where did you get your Teva's.

[@vacationvibesofficial]

I got them from DSW!

[@AccordingToRobin]

@vacationvibesofficial I was just there, they have some with the regular foam and some with the thicker rubber. If you don't mind me asking, which ones do you have? I have a hard time finding comfy sandals.

[@ElizabethCSalazar]

I’m going to a 5 day cruise first week of April from New Orleans and I’m planning to do just carry on! This came just in time and very helpful thank you so much! Don’t forget to let us know about the cruise with all the best friends!
