more than one bag?

[Midlandscruiser]

DH and myself are UK based and are going on IOS out of Southampton. As we have no flight restrictions for baggage, can we take more than one big case/bag each, as well as our carry ons? Thanks

There is no restriction to the number of bags that you bring on the ship. You can bring as many as you want.

RCI has a 200 lb limit PER PERSON.....can't imagine 2 people needing 400 lbs of stuff!!!

Thanks to both of you - DH is very excited about how much stuff he can take, and I reckon he will give his 200lb, and mine, a good go!!! Thanks again

On our 2008 TA to London we met a Mom and Daughter who were moving from Miami as their winter place to Spain. So they were taking most of their Miami clothes and personal items back to London. They easily were right at the limit. We met a large number of UK ex-pats transiting back for the summer and I am sure many of them also had lots of luggage.

We cruised on IOS last summer and loved it. We drove down from Scotland and each of our four family members had a large suitcase each, hand luggage and a total of 2-3 suit bags (not each). Needless to say, we over packed!! For our first cruise it was great though, because now we know what we need (lots of shorts/t-shirts for the kids) and don't need (shoes for Mummy!) for when we join FOS (flying out of London) this summer. We stored all the bags under the beds so there was enough space.

One thing I did learn was there is no need to pack books if you aren't too fussy with what you read. If you visit the library on board, there are plenty of books you can either sign out or borrow. Mainly 'chick lit' and murder mysteries but just fine for reading in the sun or in the solarium pool. I brought loads of paperbacks that I left on board for others to share.

Enjoy your cruise. Happy to answer any questions if you have any.
