The BEST packing tutorial on KZbin.

[@patriciadavismoore4310]

We did an 8 day on the Celebration right after y’all got off😊. My husband and I would NEVER EVAH be able to pack in the same bag, even on a 3 day trip! I change clothes 2 or 3 times a day. Y’all are some serious magicians! Wait till my hisses this😂 Pro tip-Fold between or roll, jellyroll style your easily wrinkled attire plastic bags(dry cleaning bags are best) and it will reduce or eliminate wrinkles.

[@MoBudgetsandAdventures]

I love they idea of packing a Pre Cruise Bag. I hate unpacking my entire suit case for one night. I plan to use that idea for my cruise in 2 weeks. Thanks!

[@cherireynolds7261]

That’s what I said too

[@kianniaknight1466]

The socks and jewelry in the shoes is a good idea. I never thought about that

[@MrMegdamlat]

My wife came up with those vacuum bags to pack. Then we can bring pump it’s plastic on trip to vacuum shrink on way home

[@loveineverystitch]

I like the sock in the shoes tip 😉

[@yojs17_]

Stanley's wardrobe and packing is so simple, taking notes 📝

[@pammielocs_withlove5908]

Thank you for the tip of the small bottle for the dish detergent, because even the mini bottle is too big. I will just buy a smaller travel size bottle and fill it with dish detergent I already have at home.

For your shoes use plastic shower caps or shopping bags. Helps to catch the debris from your shoes so it won't be on your clothes.

I do once I’ve worn them and have to repack otherwise they get washed and packed.

Hi Stanley and Lynette! Newer subscribers here. This is the third video of you all's I've watched! Thanks for all the cruising tips. They are very helpful for someone like my hubby who has never cruised and also for myself who haven't cruised in over 10 years! Thanks again and enjoy yourselves. I look forward to checking out more of your videos 😊

Thank you fam because my pile looks like a lot but now I feel better and will roll my stuff like Lynette. This is very informative.

I did the list on my phone as well and it did me wonders plus y’all tips helped out a whole lot when I subscribed last year. On the side note Stanley nice packing method!

I just started watching you two. Love your vibe, I’m taking my twin boys on a cruise for their graduation. Wish, I saw you before I booked. We go June 10th-15th.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Have fun

[@dianacastellanos1314]

I refuse to iron on vacation so I always bring an empty squirt bottle on every trip. I will spray whatever I'm wearing the night before with just water, smooth it out, & in the morning, all the wrinkles are gone & water is free.

[@teresa978]

Thank you for this video because my husband needed to see how to properly fold his shirts.

[@teamspirituallyaligned]

Heyyyyyyyy guys!!! Finally going to my carnival cruise in 2026 in April! Finally booked it❤

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey guys. Why have I never thought to put jewelry in purses? Great idea. I like rolling too. Less creases and wrinkles. Can fold too depending on the material. Yes. Sometimes gotta get the elegant night dresses or suits pressed. It’s stressful when elegant night is night 2 cuz not guaranteed to get it back in time. Yes. I make a list. Oh yes. We have a scale. Seriously asking. Dish detergent? Is that to wash the suspect glasses 🥃in the room? Never thought of bringing thank you cards. Dollar tree hello. I usually write my thank yous on the envelope. Been traveling all my life and you opened my eyes to a few things. Thanks so much.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Heyyyy fam. Yes, we bring Dawn to clean our cups, straws, their cups etc. Yep, I stuff jewelry anywhere it will fit lol.

[@laney409]

this is so cool because I just found you guys and we are going on the Magic in August!

I see you don't use packing cubes. Are they really helpful? Is rolling or folding more efficient?

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Packing cubes take up more space in my opinion

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Nah, they take up more space in my opinion.

[@joespencer2974]

We pack differently based on each cruise. Rarely we will fly but as ya know, that 50 pound weight limit lol. We also bought hard shell suitcases.. bad idea. Got damaged in the transition of baggage claim. Even worse condition getting on the cruise. Thank the lord for duck tape. Wheels broke off. It was bad.. this was a great video and packing cubes are the jam and thirty-one bags for the hotel..

Omg! Level 8 holds up and London Fog

This a great vídeo with some good packing tips. Question. What does Stanley use for the packing list? Is that an app? I always create a list but I find that one more useful. FYI. I got my wife the same bag Lynette recommended and uses and she loves it.

Love your videos! They have been so helpful. Going on our first cruise on Thursday & I will 100% say you 2 helped me & my fam be prepared! Question: my hubby & I are using 1 large piece of luggage (it fit the size requirement 👍🏾) but it does feel a bit heavy. When you weighed your luggage, was that to ensure you met the airplane weight limit or the ship? We are driving to S.C. so we don’t need to worry about flight stuff. Thanks for all your help!

This may be a stupid question and I apologize in advance. For the carry on bag, as far as toiletries go, it has to be TSA approved? And the checked luggage we can pack full size bottles? (Shampoo, conditioner, body wash).

Ms. Lanette and Mr Stanley, I have a quick question. I leave for the Mediterranean cruise on Aug 4th from Rome to the port of Rome. My scheduled pickup time from the hotel is 700am but my boarding time on Royal Carribean Odyssey of the seas is 1100am. There is one later pickup time at 930 am. I know you always say leave earlier than late. Which transfer time would you suggest leaving from city center in Rome, to head to the port? 700am of 930am? Thank you so much for the advice!! This is my first cruise so I am nervous as a cat!!!
