suezyq50 Posted August 17, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have never been able to put a suitcase under the bed. The end up going in the closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 17, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2010 If it won't slide under, simply LIFT the bedframe...it will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlake Posted August 17, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2010 We always manage to get our 28' suitcase under the bed, so I would think yours would fit. Sometimes you have to lift up the bed a small amount and then slide it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atb Posted August 17, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Our first cruise on RCL - we had the luggage stuffed in the closet. Takes way too much room. After that we learned the trick - lift the bedframe - and everything fits - lots more room. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar*Magnolia Posted August 17, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Yes, it will fit. More than one will fit. We actually put 2 very large suitcases and 2 duffles that lay [squashed down] flat. [actually, thats under 2 beds put together] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stags14 Posted August 17, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Ours always fits and they are large. Should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdowneymd Posted August 17, 2010 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2010 last week we had two 26 in and one 29 inch under the bed without any difficulty at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunwolf Posted August 18, 2010 #9 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Anything under 30" should fit fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cincy-David Posted August 18, 2010 #10 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I have the Ricardo, 36" full size porter luggage and it has fit under every bed except when we were on the Radiance. For some reason that ship had an odd design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesheiml Posted August 18, 2010 Author #11 Share Posted August 18, 2010 thank you. We were on one ship where we couldn't fit the suitcases under the bed, but I can't remember which one (not even sure if it was Royal -- it's been a long time ago).

Merc85 Posted August 19, 2010 #12 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Even if it won't fit closed, just open it up and it will surely fit that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzcruisers Posted August 19, 2010 #13 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Lifting the frame is the key. It's often an inch or more closer to the floor. We put our carry ons and smaller bags inside big bags and they all fit. Your room steward will help you if you have a problem lifting the edge of the bed.

Wayniac Posted August 19, 2010 #14 Share Posted August 19, 2010 We store ours open under the bed. It makes a great "slide-out" shoe storage system! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar*Magnolia Posted August 19, 2010 #15 Share Posted August 19, 2010 We store ours open under the bed. It makes a great "slide-out" shoe storage system! :) Thats a great idea! Some folks use their suitcases that are stowed under the bed to lock away larger valuables, ie: camera lens', laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandinmypants Posted August 19, 2010 #16 Share Posted August 19, 2010 In hotels, sometimes that area under the bed is a dirty, nasty "no-man's-land" kind of place that I wouldn't want to put anything - not so on a cruise ship? Do they clean under there regularly, no dust bunnies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dal_diva Posted August 19, 2010 #17 Share Posted August 19, 2010 The area under the beds on a cruise ship is kept cleaner than those in a hotel, at least that's what I've seen. But, we usually store at least one bag open on the end in the closet for dirty clothes the rest are put under the bed. For me this saves time packing at the end of the cruise as I'll just reposition the clothes, put shoes in on top and close the bag. Then when we get home that bag gets unpacked in the luandry room. d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted August 19, 2010 #18 Share Posted August 19, 2010 The area underneath beds on cruise ships will always be cleaner than in hotel rooms. Mainly because the beds are being moved around-some passengers want the beds in twins and the next passengers will want them put together. So the stewards pretty much have to clean under them as they move them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatour Posted August 20, 2010 #19 Share Posted August 20, 2010 From personal experience it will fit. You may need to lift the bed a bit to get it under the frame. Once placed under the bed you won't know it is there One word of warning, ask that your spouse don't sit on the bed while doing this procedure.

Lady Chew Posted August 20, 2010 #20 Share Posted August 20, 2010 We pull out the sofa a little bit into the room and stand our big suitcases on end behind it. We can still drop things into the suitcases, and it gives us another "table" to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIE 13 Posted August 20, 2010 #21 Share Posted August 20, 2010 The attendents store some of the bedding under the beds but there is lots of room for two large suitscases. We also use the area behind the sofa foe our small carry-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought about storing the suitcases open under the bed. Never thought about storing the suitcases behind the sofa. Thanks for bringing this one back to life.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
