tapdancemom Posted August 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have a friend sailing on the Soltice next month and is wondering about the space for suitcase storage. Is there plenty of room for a tall case under the bed. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted August 15, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yes. If there's any trouble getting it under, have her try to put it there opened up. Many people use this as extra drawer space during the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker in Texas Posted August 15, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2013 The beds are "light weight" so, if they don't slide under, you can probably lift them up and put them under past the frame. Tucker in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingGatorGirl Posted August 15, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yes, I had a jumbo suitcase on Solstice. Literally the maximum they allow you to bring on a plane and it fit under the bed :) If I remember correctly, we place smaller bags inside my large suitcase to consolidate. And like a previous poster stated, on another cruise I used this as a drawer. Place the handles out for easy sliding :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted August 15, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2013 We slide our cases under the bed in the opened postion. As we use our clothes and are sure that we won't use them again (yes we do wear some clothes more than once) we put them into the case. It helps in housekeeping and also packing at the end. Most stuff will be packed except for the items required and leftover from over packing. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted August 15, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2013 On the Eclipse, we came back from dinner the first night and could not find out suitcases. We looked all around and found them under the bed. Our cabin attendants even organized the desk area for us. Alot can fit under the bed we learned!

h20cruzer Posted August 15, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I saw a picture of Cruisinggatorgirls suitcase, if she can get that case under the bed you can get any suitcase under the bed. I have never had an issue getting any of the suitcases I travel with under the bed. Norma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted August 15, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 15, 2013 As others have said, there's a ton of room under the bed. Also under the bed is the basket that holds the life vests. We (and others, based on comments here on CC) put the life vests in the cabinets above the bed, and used the basket as a big "drawer" to store other things.

Tiggertastic Posted August 15, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 15, 2013 the space under the bed is amazing but one day when we boarded we asked for the mini bar to be emptied for our 2 bottles of wine. When we went to put them under the bed we found the steward had thrown the content of the mini bar under there. there was room for 3 cases, the lifejackets and the mini bar contents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybearhollow Posted August 15, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If a suitcase is REALLY (unlikely) too big, on the Solstice, your steward will take it and hold it for you til the end of the cruise. Please don't ask me how I know this.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h20cruzer Posted August 15, 2013 #11 Share Posted August 15, 2013 honeybearhollow You so funny!!! we know why because you had one to big and had to give to the steward. If you cant travel in style then why travel? Norma:):):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
